Step by step recipe
Stage 1 - 40 min.
Cooking in water:
It's the more often used way, but unfortunately the less best one: a part of the sausage taste flavor with cooking water.Put the sausage in a large pan and cover with cold water, don't prick it because water would get inside and spoil the flavor, cook on medium heat, covered with a lid, for 40 minutes.
Note: Then you can use the cooking water, for cooking rice or pasta for example.
Stage 2
Cooking in oven:
Tastier because the sausage cooks in its own juices, which concentrates flavors.Wrap sausage in 2 layers of aluminum foil, put in the oven at 390°F (200°C), for approximately 40-45 minutes.
Stage 3
Cooking on potatoes:
It's what I call "lodge sausage", we cook it in a large pan on bed of a peeled and cut potatoes. You will find the detailed recipe on this page. A pure delight...Remarks

Leavened bread
It might be harder to achieve good results than with traditional yeast bread, but what a flavour! It also keeps better. This recipe is designed for baking bread in a wood-fired oven but, of course, you can use the conventional oven in your kitchen. May 23th 20171.23 M 23.8 6 hours 30 min.
Avengers' potatoes
Lurking behind this strange name (see reason below) is a kind of potato-cheese gratin, which is wrapped in thin slices of bacon. It's cooked first on the hob, then in the oven. February 21th 2011314 K5 1 hour 55 min.
Dried apricots
Making your own dried apricots at home is perfectly feasible. It's really quite simple, though it takes a long time. Basically, the apricots need to be cut in half, destoned, then the halves put to dry slowly for several hours in a cool oven. July 12th 2023154 K3.9 6 hours 6 min.
Cream sauce with Vin Jaune
This sauce made with Vin Jaune ("yellow wine") is emblematic of Comtoise cuisine from Eastern France. It combines the smoothness of cream with the slight acidity and typical flavour of the Vin Jaune. The tricky aspect of cooking with Vin Jaune is that its fugitive flavour tends to disappear when cooked for any length of time. You will notice that this recipe uses a particular way of finishing the sauce to limit this loss of flavour. October 3rd 2018240 K4 50 min.
