Cooking is too much fun to risk making a full-time job out of it.<BR/><BR/>I bought more endives this week so I'm looking for some more original recipe ideas. Gratin d'endives (au jambon) is always good. And endive salad with red beets or toasted walnuts (or both). What else? Back to the books for ideas.Ken Broadhursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04430899802705818716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-1133819635767929912005-12-05T22:53:00.000+01:002005-12-05T22:53:00.000+01:00Un p'tit truc que tu dois connaître...

Voir "Le Grand Robert" : "2. Régional (Belgique). Endive (dite aussi chicorée de Bruxelles ou Witloof)"<BR/><BR/>Ta recette est originale ! Quand ouvres-tu un restaurant ;-) ??? Bises.

They're much better that way, and they hold their texture anyway.<BR/><BR/>The weather here has turned much warmer, finally. Today we had wind and rain, but it was nearly 20 degrees F warmer than it had been for weeks.<BR/><BR/>KenKen Broadhursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04430899802705818716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-1133554552066681112005-12-02T21:15:00.000+01:002005-12-02T21:15:00.000+01:00Hi Ken...

A little trip to the produce market, a little trip to the fish house... a little glug of wine for the endives, a little glug of wine for the cook... Yep, a fine Saturday evening coming up!<BR/><BR/>EllenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
