Une Cuisine Plus française


Ce plat s'appelle Café Calva: un café chaud fraîchement préparé a servi avec un côté d'eau-de-vie fine de pomme du Calvados. C'est un vieil extérieur non bien connu de tradition de la France. Chaque café à Paris le sert, mais son souvent un élément de hors fonction-menu pour la commande spéciale. Ne soyez pas découragé par ceci, le serveur compendra votre demande. 

Temps de préparation: cinq minutes

Ingrédients:
Une portion de café chaud
Une once plus la moitié d'une cuillère à café du Calvados.

Préparation: 

Versez le café dans une attaque à main armée de portion et versez la une once du Calvados dans un petit verre de projectile. Arrosez la cuillère à café restante de 1/2 du calvados au-dessus du café chaud.

Marques une servant.

Henri Matisse

Henri Matisse (31 December 1869 – 3 November 1954) was a French artist, known for his use of colour and his fluid, brilliant and original draughtsmanship. As a draughtsman, printmaker, and sculptor, but principally as a painter, Matisse is one of the best-known artists of the 20th century. Although he was initially labeled as a Fauve (wild beast), by the 1920s, he was increasingly hailed as an upholder of the classical tradition in French painting.[1] His mastery of the expressive language of colour and drawing, displayed in a body of work spanning over a half-century, won him recognition as a leading figure in modern art.

Tu faim?

From: http://chezlouloufrance.blogspot.com/

Camille in Paris, of Croque Camille, tasted a tempting piece of Fourme D'Ambert with some hearty looking bread and wine from Fitou. Fourme d'Ambert is one of France's oldest cheeses and Camille describes its flavor as mild, creamy and earthy
One of the most bewitching cheeses I tasted during my year and a half of tasting French cheese was Gaperon. This creamy, buttery cheese is spiked with cracked peppercorns and local, pink garlic, creating a complex and unique flavor.

French Antiques

From "Tongue in Cheek" here we see "Everything French"

J'écris en français. Je veux être en France pour visiter la foire d'antiquités à Béziers. 

1. Where are the best places to go antiquing in France? There are many places to go antiquing in France, and each of them have something for everyone. 
My favorites are the international antique fairs in Lyon, Beziers, Avignon, Montpeillier, St. Ouen, L'Isle Sur La Sorgue and the brocante in Vanves in Paris.
