Roasted Pork with Potatoes and Onions, Seasoned Peaches, and Fava Beans
I didn't make an "original" meal tonight, opting to use recipes out of 2 French cookbooks.
I took the Roast Pork with Potatoes and Onions as well as the Seasoned Peaches recipes from French Farmhouse Cookbook by Susan Herrmann Loomis. The seasoned peaches recipe works quite well with any roasted meat (duck being my personal favorite). I use this cookbook quite often as a reference and just to give me some new ideas.
I took a simple fava bean recipe from In the French Kitchen Garden by Georgeanne Brennan. This isn't so much a cookbook, as a how-to on cultivating a potager, or kitchen garden. The same author has published a few French cookbooks, that I'm quite interested in getting. Most of the recipes seem to be straightforward and simple, letting the subtle flavors of the food speak for itself.
Both books deal more with the farmhouse style of cooking than haute cuisine, which means there's a limited amount of fussiness involved, but a big pay off in flavor!
