This is one of the best French fry spin-offs I’ve found, thanks to the incredible za’atar spice blend. Za’atar is a Middle Eastern staple consisting of sesame seeds, thyme, oregano, marjoram, sage and sometimes mint.

Vichyssoise is one of the Grand Dames of chilled cuisine, and one of the tastiest, most satisfying of all cold soups. This version marries puréed leeks, onions, potatoes, cream, and chicken stock to create a thick, delicious soup that is certain to please.

Steamed mussels are a French favorite!

In France, shops that serve mussels in broth with pommes frittes, or french fries, are ubiquitous. Mussels are delicious, nutritious and quick and easy to make. They go great with fried potatoes and a good gluten-free beer.

June 22nd is deemed National Eclair Day. I grew up eating home-made eclairs, and I sure miss them now that I am gluten-free. This is not  a tricky recipe to pull off, but it is time consuming. However, if you can pull it off, you will not regret the time you spent trying.
