French Recipes

There’s something so cozy and timeless about French cooking (I may be a little biased here, as I was born in Paris). Whether it’s the creamy sauces, buttery potatoes, or simple herbs that make everything taste fancy, these recipes bring those French flavors straight to your kitchen.

If you need some help, my Easy Chicken Cordon Bleu is guaranteed to impress! How about an American dish with a french twist? My Creamy Garlic Mashed Potatoes are made with crème fraîche (basically sour cream’s fancier, richer cousin) and they go with just about everything. People always ask me how come my mashed potatoes are so creamy? And of course we can't talk about French with some delicious Crepes!

Hi, I'm Lola

Just your not so average girl next door who loves all things food. I was born in Paris, France to a tribe of women who love to cook and bake! I bring you quick and easy recipes from all over the world, but my heart (and taste buds) belong to Mediterranean cuisine. As a mom and stepmom to four kids, quick and delicious is my goal!
