Rachel khoo Superb post however I was wondering if you could write a litte more on this subject? Season, and if you feel so inclined, you can add a touch of nutmeg, or even a teaspoon of djion mustard, which Rachel indeed did, and turned out to be a lovely idea. Over six episodes, Rachel demonstrates her contemporary approach to classic French dishes, from light snacks to familiar favourites. In order to line the muffing tin properly you really need the square bread, and only mass produced non-french type breads come that way.


Last year's herb garden

We have been diligent in the garden today! The weather has been especially pleasant so it seemed like the perfect opportunity to clean up and prepare for sowing and planting. In the morning we drove to a beautiful green house in Flyinge here in Scania, and bought earth, a few flowers, potato seeds and herbs.

My herb garden last summer was abundant and fertile but unfortunately little survived the winter. Although, out of all the herbs it seems like the chives, estragon and thyme displayed the strongest will to live, and might just survive the season.

Organizing the garden for the summer is great fun. I intend to plant three types of potatoes; almond potatoes, Asterix and then Maris Piper.

I will also plant a few types of leafy greens, courgettes, among other treats.

Rachel cooks madeleines and lamb stew Croydon-born Rachel Khoo demonstrates her flair for the cuisine of Paris. I really must try this, especially when we have overnight guests.

I also bought loads of herbs; thyme, rosemary, sage, mint, and of course parsley, coriander and basil. There is something extremely satisfying about being able to leisurely strut into the garden and just pick the herbs you are going to use for dinner! The picture above was taken in early June of last year!

The following recipe I got from Rachel Khoo, a British cook based in Paris who has operated a number of home restaurants from her Paris flat.

Nanna Teitsdóttir, who runs the cooking blog site, eldar í vesturheimi - ,posted a link on Rachel's cooking shows which premiered on BBC2 recently and can also be found on Youtube. In the shows she cooks her own twist on classic French dishes and among them is this version of the legendary sandwich, Croque Madame! 


Rachel Khoo's Croque Madame: Open Sandwich, Muffins-Style, with Ham, Egg, and Bechamel Sauce

This is of course super simple, and making a savory muffin instead of the traditional sandwich is obviously quite clever.

Cooking channel rachel khoo recipes croque I was terribly impressed as I watched her take on Boeuf Bourguignon. And apparently a wave of muffins-fever swept the Icelandic cooking scene recently, so I am not sure if my contribution here manages to catch the wave at the right time, or whether this is in actual fact an anachronistic muffin.

And apparently a wave of muffins-fever swept the Icelandic cooking scene recently, so I am not sure if my contribution here manages to catch the wave at the right time, or whether this is in actual fact an anachronistic muffin. Let's see what happens.

making the bechamél

First you make the bechamel sauce, which is, as everyone should know, one of the mother sauces, and is, it goes without saying, very simple to make!

Melt 15 grams of butter in a pot, add the same amount of flour and stir vigorously. And there you have some roux. To which you add ml of milk, stirring throughout the process.

Once the milk boils the sauce will immediately thicken. Season, and if you feel so inclined, you can add a touch of nutmeg, or even a teaspoon of djion mustard, which Rachel indeed did, and turned out to be a lovely idea.


Bread placed snugly in to the muffins mold

Next step is to cut the crust off the bread slices and then flatten them out.

Brush with melted butter and place into the muffin tray, with the buttered side toward the tray, so it will be easier to remove once it is baked. I put a slice of ham into the bread fold, and added around a teaspoon or so of the bechamel sauce.


Beautiful organic eggs and bechamel sauce

Then break an egg on top (if the egg is big you can pour away a little bit of the white), followed by a topping of bechamel. 

Add cheese add alot of cheese!

Finally, the cherry on top, or rather, grate a generous amount of cheddar cheese over the lot and place the tray into a preheated oven, and bake for minutes at degrees. 
If this doesn't induce an healthy appetite, what will?

Served with a few leaves of rocket and diced tomatoes. 

In all honesty, this turned out to be so devine that I found it difficult to fathom, I was in tears!

Delicious savory treats
Bon appetit!
