25 French Country Dishes Under $5 That We Have Forgotten

Colette's book, The Old French Kitchen: https://oldfrenchkitchen.pages.dev/ A pot of soup for four dollars that lasts until Thursday. Colette's granddaughter lifted the lid and asked if she was all right. These are the dishes that fed French country families for generations, made from stale bread, a few eggs, an onion and whatever the garden gave. Some of them you'll know under another name, from your own mother's table. One of them an American bestseller once told grown men they weren't allowed to eat. And one was so plain that Colette's grandmother apologized every time she served it. Which dish from your grandmother's table haven't you tasted in years? Tell Colette in the comments. The ones that come up most are the ones she'll cook next. #FrenchCooking #FrugalRecipes #ForgottenRecipes
