There was a dramatic change in weather out here while I was in vacation for just a week. Ratatouille is a perfect dish on summery days, served either warm or chilled.
It is delicious on its own but also goes well with sautéed chicken, grilled fish, omelets, pasta, etc.
Bûche de Noël is a traditional Christmas dessert in France. The word itself translates as "Christmas Log" and is meant to look like a piece of wood ready for fire used in the ancient fire-festival of the winter solstice.
Today my excellent Sous-Chef, 6-year-old daughter, tested this recipe. The traditional Bûche tastes great, and this easy version, too!
