Step by step recipe
Stage 1 - 5 min.
Wash 1 kg 500 g potatoes (rattes, if possible). Put into a large pan and cover with cold water.
Stage 2 - 25 min.
Boil the potatoes until tender (a knife blade should go through them easily).
Stage 3 - 5 min.
Stage 4 - 8 min.
Peel the potatoes while still hot, slice into rounds and add to the bowl.
Stage 5 - 2 min.
Pour 18 tablespoons french dressing (vinaigrette) over and mix with a fork.
It is important to do this while the potatoes are still hot so that they absorb some of the vinaigrette. This gives them a melt-in-the-mouth texture.

Flambéd bananas
The trick of this recipe is to end up with bananas caramelised on the outside, still firm on the inside, coated with a tasty syrup which is not 95% butter. February 21th 2011336 K 14 40 min.
Crème brulée
Crème brûlée (burned cream) is quite easy to prepare: it's a simple egg-cream dessert. The only difficulty is in making the delicious crunchy caramel layer on top. The perfect crème brulée (for me) is a cold and soft cream, with on top a nice hot caramel crust. This is a completely new version of the former recipe, with video.

Not really a dessert, more a kind of sweet. After soakiing, strips of grapefruit skin are cooked very slowly to conservethem in sugar. It's a real treat with coffee at the end of a meal. December 20th 2018385 K 14 1 day 1 hour 25 min.
