Light and crispy filo pastry surrounds a delicious medley of healthy roast vegetables, lentils and feta cheese in this Mediterranean Filo Pie!
I don’t cook very often with filo (phyllo) pastry, but when I do, I always wonder why I don’t use it more often – it is beautifully light and flaky, yet delivers the most satisfying crunch. Working with the tissue-thin sheets of dough is also easier than is commonly believed, especially in the recipe I have for you today!…
An authentic French Cauliflower Gratin recipe with a deliciously creamy béchamel sauce. An indulgent side dish for a perfect winter meal!
Today’s recipe is another gem from my French in-laws and is one of those classic gratin dishes that the French love so much.

They think it is something complicated which requires hours of tedious work, standing at the stove, stirring, stirring, stirring until their arms fall off, so they assume it’s easier to buy those hideous pouches of ‘microwave’ risotto rice. Sadly, they soon discover these convenient little plastic packs invariably taste of, well, exactly that…plastic….

How do you like your sweet potato fries? Do you like them really thin and skinny or more chunky, almost verging on wedges? I’m firmly in the wedges camp myself. I definitely like a bit of substance to my fries. There are so many ways to season them too and sweet potato afficionados have probably tried most of the common seasonings already.
