French appetizers/36 recipes

An inspired and inexpensive seafood hors d'oeuvre.

Easy mushrooms stuffed with a simple savory, sour cream and bread crumb filling, baked in the oven until juicy and ready for guests in a flash.

This is a delicious brunch dish and is very good served with a broiled tomato, French bread and a fresh fruit compote.

What makes this appetizer stand out are the grains of glutinous rice (also called sweet or sticky rice), which turn a pearly color when cooked.

Cold soups make for excellent summer fare. The best vichyssoise I ever had in my life was at a French restaurant during a Montreal summer. Humor me. Try the soup in the traditional manner but then, if you must heat it up, (sigh), go ahead.
