Well-thought-out recipes for a large tribe.
The choice of products
Seasonal products; legumes; vegetable proteins; chicken ; sardines; tuna; rice ; pasta, and various cereals, constitute an ideal base for cooking this season, without exceeding the budget. Between squash, sweet potatoes, endives, leeks, cabbage, celery, apples, potatoes, and even chard, there is bound to be one or the other winter vegetable that will delight your world. Even cauliflower or spinach can find favor in the eyes of the most recalcitrant, it is often enough to find the right preparation/cooking.
Citrus fruits too – table oranges, blood oranges, lemon, grapefruit, or clementine – allow us to add vitamin C to our recipes.
Eggs are also an inexpensive source of protein. Most ? They are infinitely adaptable. Cheese scramble; spinach omelette; soft-boiled egg to slide into a creamy velouté; or deviled egg with tuna, are just a few ideas among many others.
Good recipes
When you cook for a large number of people, you have to think smart. For this reason, XXL dishes are perfect. Winter quiches and tarts; seasonal shepherd’s pie; large format pizza, and many others are time-saving options. Delicious family dishes that simply need to be cut into pieces, directly at the table.
Another perfect solution for families, slow-cooked winter dishes that you forget on the stove for many hours. This method also works wonderfully as a dessert, like Norman teurgoule, which takes a lot of time to reveal its best.
Also, all variations of rice, risotto, and pasta are easily possible. Whether you add cheese, vegetable or animal proteins, or seasonal vegetables to these products, they can easily be adapted to all tastes.
