Picnic like the French with a perfectly ripe Camembert, some garlicky sausage and a fresh, crusty baguette – eh voila! No need to go outside for a picnic, if the weather is inclement; enjoy a picnic in your kitchen at the kitchen table, or use the cheese platter as a centrepiece for parties, fêtes, cocktails or social gatherings! Lay a tartan rug on the table and use wicker baskets or a hamper if you wish………..be as “rustique” or as “chic” as you want to be! Great for Christmas, Thanksgiving, New Year, as well as for a summer picnics of course!
Serve this as an impressive starter or a light main meal – it has an unsusual combination of cheese, ham and potatoes. Soufflés are easy to make – honestly! The only real criteria is that they are served immediately and that the bowl used for whisking the egg whites is oil and grease free…..but even that is not that essential. I sometimes add bacon instead of the ham – just brown and crisp it up first, and then crumble it before adding.

This is one of my favourite vegetable recipes. It is a real indulgence, and one I usually use for special occasions. It originates from The Netherlands, and is a family recipe. It is so good! A tasty way to serve Belgian Endive, or “witlof”.
