Simple salade de salsifis You probably don’t care about salsifis and there is nothing extraordinary about the recipe. It’s all about the salsifi.

L’été vient de commencer à San Francisco  - Salade de mâche, fenouil et oranges à la vinaigrette d’agrumes I was wondering why americans are not too fond of fennel and anis, liquorice, etc…Maybe it’s a flavor they were not used to growing up. I don’t know. The first time I tasted a mango, a [...]
