My DH's favourites include Coq Au Vin (chicken in redwine glaze-style sauce). He loves rustic old-fashioned cooking... and is very grateful when I cook any recipe from his collection of Elizabeth David country French recipes. During the last cold snap I made Gratin Potatoes from ED's book and he loved it... Gratin is very thinly sliced potato fanned out in layers and cooked in a cream cheese sauce... he adored that... he has Irish blood though and have a love affair with the potato!
