OLIVER, Jamie, Cook with Jamie: You can’t beat a classic French dish - and these all serve two so they’re perfect for Valentine’s night, The Daily Meal, February 11, 2012.



Abstract: In this article, Chef Jamie Oliver proposes different french recipes for Valentine’s Day.

Quotation:
“We’ve got some classic French recipes this week which are undeniably good. We’re definitely talking about food that makes you happy.
The beauty of these dishes is that they all serve two people, so with Valentine’s Day just around the corner, whether you’re out to impress a new or an old loved one, they’ll be sure to do the trick.
Ultimately, they’re going to serve you well whatever the occasion, but at this time of year it’s nice to embrace flavours that are fresh and exciting, but also near to home and close to your heart.
We’ve gone old-school Parisian with the perfect steak frites. Traditionally this would be served with béarnaise sauce, one of the cornerstones of French cooking.
However, in the interests of giving you a sauce you can cook on a more regular basis, I’ve swapped in a tarragon aioli recipe with the same sort of vibe. Béarnaise is gorgeous, but is so rich it’s not something you can afford to indulge in too often.
In my opinion, the French are one of the world’s salad masters. This Lyonnaise salad with crunchy, smoky bacon lardons, fresh and slightly bitter frisée leaves, delicious croutons, a perfectly poached runny egg and a kickass dressing is not just a salad, it’s a feast. And last, but not least, is a dish that has scared cooks for years – the soufflé. [...]
