This easy side dish pairs perfectly with our Pork Chops with Coriander-Cumin Spice Rub .

Francoise preferred not to share her specific recipe with me, but she gave me enough hints so that I could make this version of roestis, (which means twice cooked in the Jura dialect) which closely resembles the delicious dish I had at La Grangette. Try this with thick slices of gently smoked ham and a white Arbois, from the Jura, or another buttery white wine.

It is no coincidence that the method used to bake this bread, steaming, is similar to one used by the native Indians of New England, who taught us how to use corn as a grain for bread. The most famous of our region's breads, this wholesome blend of wheat, rye, and corn flours is suitable for our diets today as it was 300 years ago.

This is a tasty dish for a tapas party, but I also like it served with greens alongside warm lentils for lunch. Spanish fresh pork sausage is flavored with garlic and oregano, but any sweet pork link sausage can be used for this recipe.

Serve this warm over pancakes or waffles.

The fresh berries at the open-air markets of Nice inspired this simple recipe. The wide surface of a large skillet reduces the cooking time, which helps keep the fruit flavor at its peak.

The greens for the following salad may be washed and spun dry a day in advance and kept wrapped in paper towels in a plastic bag and chilled. Can be prepared in 45 minutes or less.

Serve on cold roast beef or with crudités.
