Paté en croute (terrine in a pie crust)
The French classic "Paté en croute" is a terrine of different meats layered and baked in a pie crust. There are many recipes which vary the kind of meat and the seasonings. This is my version with pork, veal and chicken, which is not too difficult, though it does entail quite a lot of work. September 7th 2018233 K 134.2 6 hours 50 min.
Seeded loaf
This seeded bread is based on a French baguette dough, with a mix of dry-roasted seeds added (poppy, millet, linseed, sesame...). Delicious on its own, this bread makes excellent toast to go with foie gras, adding an amazing complementary crunch. October 24th 2017172 K3.8 4 hours 30 min.
Loaf for "les filles'"
This loaf for "the girls" in three colours is made by putting together three doughs, each with a different flavour: tomato for the red, pesto with olives for the green and onion for the white. The three different doughs fuse as they rise together in the tin before cooking, to produce an unusual bread with surprising flavours. December 30th 201989 K4.6 4 hours 6 min.

The pork roasting joint is simply salted and peppered before being put in the bag and cooked for hours at low temperature. The delicious cooking juices produced is used for braising the vegetables to serve with the roast: turnips and purple artichokes. In this recipe, everything is done gently and at an unhurried pace: this is real slow... May 22th 2025100 K4.6 3 hours 60 min.
