This recipe is from France , Normandy.
This is a homemade French Galette des Rois cake but with a little change added in the filling. It has the traditional almond filling but with saffron as well. The cake is to be served on epiphany day the 6th of January. Every child is hoping to get the figurine hidden in the cake, so he or she will become king or queen of the day.
This is a dish made with camembert cheese, potatoes, onion and bacon and fits perfect on a cold winter day. The original dish tartiflette is made with reblochon cheese instead of camembert cheese. It’s a heavy dish so a green salad and a French baguette is all you need on the side.
This is a popular variation of the traditional tarte flambée, you add some cheese on the top to give it a grated taste, and is usually served as one of the last one of the meal. Tarte flambée comes in many variations but the most popular ones are the classical one, forestière and the gratinée.
