Cucumber Sandwiches III
Really great appetizer for the summer or anytime. Every time I have served these everyone wants the recipe...and they're so easy! Just be sure to refrigerate the cream cheese mixture overnight!
Poulet de Provençal
This chicken poulet always reminds me of an aromatic day in Eze, France.
Chef John's Classic Beef Stroganoff
This classic beef stroganoff recipe is a fairly lean version, as most recipes call for more cream. This is something you can easily adjust to your tastes. I like a little thicker version, with just enough sauce to coat the meat. Serve over buttered noodles.
