For anyone that knows me, I'm not a big cook. Between being a student, living in 12m2 and always being out and about, it's just never something I've had a lot of time for. (However, I am quite lucky to have many foodie friends, so I still manage to eat quite well!). So as a non-chef, I was a bit intimidated when
Leela Cyd first invited me to participate in the
Breakfast with a Blogger series on the
Apartment Therapy The Kitchn blog. But as soon as I realized my favorite food in France - butter with chunks of sea salt - my challenge was solved, I would share a "recipe" for a tartine. While I still laugh that I'm essentially sharing how to make toast, albeit with a French twist, hopefully my tales of French living and observations from spending a summer in France will help spread the joy of the tartine to all. These are my amateur pictures below (my friend Angie took that picture of me on Christmas from the
chambre de bonne she rented next door), but Leela beautifully recreates the recipe.

Boarding Pass feature! Instead of asking for wedding presents, she and her husband asked for money and traveled the world for a year!

Sounds (and looks) delicious!
ReplyDeletewow, traveling the world for a year .... I'm so jealous!
ReplyDeletethe butter...between Nicole and you I am going to have to get my hands on some...;)
ReplyDeletelove that photo of you!
Such serendipity indeed! I just found "creamy honey" at Trader Joe's here and thought of you (and chez madame balsan) instantly. I've also been trying my hand at making baguettes lately, so needless to say, I'll be having your tartine au miel a la matin, bien sur!
ReplyDeleteYum!
ReplyDelete(kind of similar to my breakfast now...)

ReplyDelete'...not a big cook...' hooey! You don't have to be a Michelin chef to make something really tasty. Your little tartine is destined to be my go-to breakfast. Thanks!
