Out of France

We all know Jacques Pépin is the master of French cooking but he is definitely a versatile chef and he has a plethora of recipes from other cuisines in his repertoire.

So, this week at IHCC, we are headed...

Out of France!

If you missed our fun July Mystery Box Madness please click the link to read about how we chose our mystery ingredients and see how we used them in the challenge!

Note: This week's theme was supposed to be Avec des Glacons (On the Rocks) but we noticed there were only a small handful of drink recipes in Pepin's books so we decided to replace it with the soirée theme.  July's soirée theme was replaced with a new theme, Out of France. Please see sidebar for changes. We apologize for this error. We just assumed Pepin had cocktail recipes.

 Any White-Fleshed Fish Green Leaf Lettuce

Pine Nuts

Dill

Cheddar Cheese

Almond Extract or Liqueur

Blueberries
