Another dish from Henry Harris' The Racine Effect: here's the Tomato Salad with Cream Dressing and Goats Cheese. The recipe calls for Sarriette de Banon but we substituted Chavroux. As it includes fresh mint, I added a few mint flowers for garnish, since they are so pretty.

Ahhh, my son’s girlfriend gets a banon for me every time we visit, such a beautiful cheese. That looks delicious.

Very good and extremely transportive, like the bavetteand cheese sauce.

Is the book very cheese-heavy?

No I don't think so, though I appreciate we did cost two cheese ones to start with! ❤️ But let me look through tomorrow and send you more of an idea. ❤️ There are dishes that are too many steps for us but they are also loud that we are keen to try.

I don’t often cook with cheese, I tend to prefer it as it is. It’ll be interesting to see what else is in the book as I don’t really own anything stylistically like it.

I've loved reading the semi-autobiographical parts so far. I'll ping you tomorrow or day after.
