Moules à la Marinière Recipe
January 27th, 2008Recipes, Non-Asian Recipes, Recipes, Travel17 Comments
Bonjour.
I came all the way to south of France to eat these–Moules à la Marinière, or French/Belgium-style mussels cooked with white wine, onions, and parsley. Not that I can’t get mussels in California, but eating these mussels right here in a Mediterranean coastal town just adds to the authenticity and–most importantly–the flavors.
While I am here, feed me more pots or pails or buckets of Moules à la Marinière, please…
Note: Pictured above is 1 kg of pure mussel goodness…I think I might not want to go back.

To me, shucking oyster is…

Garlic Knots
Even since I saw the garlic knots on Just a Taste, I have been wanting to create those cutesy bread in my kitchen. When it comes to baking, I like recipes that are simple to make, and hopefully with store-bought ingredients.
