Let's make it festive, even under COVID restrictions. A delightful champagne cocktail and a couple of delicious bites!

January 6th, the 12th day of Christmas, and throughout the month of January, the French gather with family and friends to share a Galette de Roi, or Kings Cake. There are two different versions- the North of France favors a puff pastry galette filled with pastry cream, and in the South of France they make theirs with a brioche ring studded with candied fruits. We will be making the puff pastry galette, with a the prescribed "feve" tucked inside!

These simple eggs are baked in ramekins with a variety of flavorings. Served as a starter course, they are easy to assemble ahead of time and pop in the oven for a few minutes before serving.

We're taking a little field trip to visit my friend Luke, get a glimpse of his new house just outside Nerac, and enjoy one of his favorite things to eat- Raclette! Melted cheese served with creamy potatoes, crispy baguettes, and charcuterie. For information on how to join in visit the Chez Moe membership information page. .

La Chadeleur- the day of crêpes!

One of my very favorite things in this world is goat cheese, warmed. In a salad, it melts into the dressing (a vinaigrette for this salad), and creates a lucious coating for the salad greens.
