Craving French food after watching Emily In Paris?

You’re not the only one. Searches for French recipes have skyrocketed since December. Coincidence? We think not.

Fancy your own foray into French flavour? Then these are the recipes you should cook this week. I can vouch they’re all rich, sumptuous and true examples of la bonne cuisine. Pair with a glass of crisp Chablis, and consider your next Netflix night in sorted.

Cheesy Mushroom & Spinach Savoury Pancakes

First stop, the nearest crêpe stall for a creamy veg-packed pancake. This recipe calls for our pizza base mix, but plain flour works just as well. It’s a great one for Shrove Tuesday too.

Coq Au Vin-less

Some classics don’t need improving. The Gousto chefs have one trick up their sleeves though – using vinegar instead of wine, so everyone can enjoy it. But… if your hand happens to slip, and a slug of vino tumbles in, I’ll keep it between us.

Fish À La Meunière

This dish is all about simple flavours at their finest. Crisp golden fish, atop garlicky mash, doused in a zingy lemon and caper brown butter sauce. And you know what they say: mo’ butter, mo’ better.

French Mustard Chicken & Lentil Tray Bake

As timeless as it is tantalising. The amount of mustard may seem a lot on paper, but it gives the lentils that delicious je ne sais quoi. 

Creamy Bacon & Caramelised Onion Tartiflette

And for the pièce de résistance, a skier’s delight usually found on the Alps. This one’s loaded with Rablochoix cheese – which, since it left the menu two Christmases ago, I can’t find anywhere. Know any French cheesemongers? If not, gruyère works great.
