A traditional French cassoulet would take several hours to cook, but you can make this shortcut version using canned beans and succulent, quick-browned duck breasts, then leave it to bubble on the hob. Serve with crusty garlic bread and steamed Savoy cabbage.

Cheese souffle

Recipe by: amanda

Be the first to review it!

This soufflé is really straightforward. The key is in getting a good thick cheese sauce to start. Make sure everyone is ready to eat as soon as this comes out of the oven cos, as Paul Keating once said, "a soufflé doesn't rise twice":-)

Chicken liver and raspberry salad

Recipe by: Norma MacMillan

The fruity fresh flavour of juicy raspberries and a splash of raspberry vinegar balance the richness of chicken livers in this easy warm salad, which is a popular lunch dish in French bistros.

Creme Fraiche Chicken

Recipe by: Kristel A. Ivy

When I was studying in France, I had this dish and it has been my favourite ever since. It is chicken breast cooked in butter, creme fraiche and mushrooms over pasta. No one can make it like my friend, but this is very close.
