France Cooking Recipes
Although ultimately a victor in World Wars I and II, France suffered extensive losses in its empire, wealth, manpower, and rank as a dominant nation-state. Nevertheless, France today is one of the most modern countries in the world and is a leader among European nations. Since 1958, it has constructed a presidential democracy resistant to the instabilities experienced in earlier parliamentary democracies. In recent years, its reconciliation and cooperation with Germany have proved central to the economic integration of Europe, including the advent of the euro in January 1999. Presently, France is at the forefront of European states seeking to exploit the momentum of monetary union to advance the creation of a more unified and capable European defense and security apparatus.

France is slightly less than twice the size of Colorado. It generally experiences cool winters and mild summers, but has mild winters and hot summers along the Mediterranean.

Cheese Fondue - Starter

Cooking Recipes Ingredients:
12 oz. Emmental cheese, shredded
12 oz. Beaufort (or other Gruyere) cheese, shredded
12 oz. Tomme cheese
6 glasses dry white wine
1/2 glass kirsch liqueur
1 clove garlic, peeled and crushed
white pepper
1 or 2 loaves French bread, whole-wheat or white
1 egg

Cooking Recipes Directions
On the day before or the morning of the meal, cube the bread, and leave it out to let it dry a little. Rub the bottom and sides of an earthenware pot or cast iron saucepan with the garlic. Pour wine into pot and place on stove over medium-high heat. Bring wine to boil, add cheese and stir slowly with a wooden spoon. Before cheese is fully melted, take pot off the stove and place on a lighted fondue burner. Season with pepper and add kirsch while stirring. Once cheese has entirely melted. Serve with bread and fondue forks, stirring occasionally. If cheese bubbles rapidly, turn down heat. When cheese is almost gone (maybe 3/4 cup left), break a raw egg into the pot and stir rapidly with the cheese. After a minute, dump remaining bread into pot and stir together with cheese and egg. Then turn off the burner and enjoy what's left.


Cherry Cake - Dessert

Cooking Recipes Ingredients:
1-1/2 cups milk
4 eggs
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 to 3 cups fresh black sweet cherries, pitted; or
drained, canned, pitted Bing cherries; or frozen
sweet cherries, thawed and drained
confectioners' (powdered) sugar

Cooking Recipes Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
To make the batter in a blender, combine the milk, eggs, flour, sugar and vanilla in the blender jar,and whirl them at high speed for a few seconds.
Turn the machine off and scrape down the sides of the jar with a rubber spatula, then
blend again for about 40 seconds.
To make the batter by hand, stir the flour and eggs together in a large mixing bowl, and slowly stir in the milk, sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat with a whisk or a rotary or electric beater until the flour lumps disappear and the batter is smooth.
Pat the cherries completely dry with paper towels, then spread them evenly in a shallow, buttered baking dish or pan that holds 5 to 6 cups and is about 2" deep. Pour in the batter. Bake on the middle shelf of the oven for 1-1/2 hours, or until the top is golden brown and firm to the touch.
Dust lightly with confectioners' sugar, and serve the clafoutis while it is still warm.
