What great recipes. I live in rural France. lots of garden produce & neighbours always dropping round everything from Strawberries to marrows. Collect buckets of windfall walnuts in Autumn so great to find another walnut recipe.
Thanks for so many interesting recipes.

We too live in rural France, but have yet to find a French apple which equates to the sharpness of Bramleys.
have you any tips?

I'm afraid not – though there are several forum members from your neck of the wood who may differ. All french apple varieties seem insipid to me. Which part of France are you in? Could you grow bramleys?

French apples are lovely!!!!! You can grow Bramleys here, (Dordogne) my English neighbour has a tree.
French don't grow cooking apples as they'd just use any eating apple. I just buy whatever looks fresh and firm in the local market and use that and haven't had any disasters yet.
