Translating to rooster stewed in wine, coq au vin, a French classic was originally a peasant dish designed to make use of an old rooster that was too tough and sinewy to be simply roasted. It was a dish that was cooked low and slow. However, tough roosters have given way to tender roasting chicken in most recipes today. So it would be more accurate to call this Poulet au Vin. I wouldn't use chicken breast for this recipe as you can easily overcook them. So bone in thighs, drumsticks or whole legs are better to use for coq au vin.

The chicken drenched in a rich, creamy bacon and tarragon sauce is a delicious, budget-friendly and delicious dinner night option, made with skin-on bone-in whole chicken legs. You can of course opt for the chicken breast if that's what you prefer, but go bone-in, skin-on when you can. Skin helps to keep the chicken moist during cooking, and the bones add an extra layer of flavour to the meat.

This easy fig tart recipe is crustless. Whip up the almond frangipane, top with fresh figs, and pop into the oven for about 45 minutes. It is pure buttery decadence without refined sugar, naturally gluten-free and deliciously gooey.
Frangipane is a classic French paste for cakes, tarts, and pastries. It's made with butter, sugar or sugar alternatives, eggs, and ground almonds or other nuts. Traditional frangipane paste contains no flour, as it usually used as a filling for a pastry crust. Adding just a small amount of flour made this tart stable and it is able to stand on its own even without the crust.

Radishes dipped with softened butter and sprinkled with sea salt is a classic low-carb snack in French cuisine. The secret to this French canapé is in the quality ingredients. So use the best unsalted butter, fresh, mild radishes (I used tri-coloured radishes) and sea salt, like fleur de sel or herb/spiced salt. I used kala namak black rock salt because I love it. The butter really works to tame the pungency and peppery flavour of the radishes and, of course, a little salt simply enhances the flavour.

This creamy, rich tuna pâté, adapted from food&wine, is super simple and takes no time at all to prepare. They go well with raw vegetables, crackers or toasted baguette. It's a great way to turn a can of tuna into a healthy appetiser for entertaining, snack or a light lunch. My preference is for tuna in olive oil, but you could use the one in sunflower oil if preferred.

Anchoïade is a classic Provençale sauce made with tinned anchovies, olive oil, red wine vinegar and garlic. This version, adapted from Sitka Seafood, includes toasted almonds, flat parsley and chillie flakes, but its essence remains the same. Provençale anchovy sauce goes splendidly with a selection of vegetables, both raw and blanched, and seafood. It's also great on bread or as a salad dressing.

Beef bourguignon (aka beef Burgundy) is a traditional French dish of slow cooked beef in a red wine sauce, with pearl onions, button mushrooms and bacon lardons. It's traditionally named from the Burgundy region in France, where it originated. It’s cooked until the meat is falling apart, and the wine-rich gravy thickens slightly to coat the meat.
This version from Colin Fassnidge via DELICIOUS uses the same beef bourguignon flavour on beef short ribs to upgrade this timeless stew. Beef ribs Bourguignon is always better the next day or even a few days later. It really needs time to mature and have the flavours marry together. Serve with some crusty bread to mop up all the sauce or over some creamy polenta or mashed potatoes, and of course a glass of red Burgundy!

The sauce vierge (which translates to “virgin sauce”) is a classic tomato-based French vinaigrette filled with olives and fresh herbs that will go perfectly with many dishes for the warmer days. It can be served at room-temperature or warm and goes perfectly with fish and other seafood. It was created in 1976 by the great French chef Michel Guérard. The sauce is fresh, bright and versatile and can be prepared up to a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator. Allow the sauce to come to room temperature before serving.

Whet the appetite for the dinner party by serving your guests this rich pork terrine with Italian sausages, pistachio kernels and green peppercorns. It can be made up to two days ahead. I use spicy Italian sausages, but you can use regular one or any pork sausage of your choice. If you want to make it alcohol-free, replace it with apple juice or chicken stock. A terrine is always better served at room temperature or cold with crusty bread / crackers, pickles, mustard and fruit chutney or simply with a salad.

Deliciously studded with a mixture of fresh herbs (sage, flat parsley and thyme) and wrapped in flavourful and slightly salted prosciutto, this pork and veal terrine will make any occasion extra-special. I have chosen to omit the nuts in this recipe, but feel free to add a handful of pistachios, pine nuts or macadamias to the mixture. Or try this chicken terrine with pistachios.
