My thoughts exactly!! ❤

Rosalind D- Greetings from our farm in Central Lakes ⛵⛵ New Hampshire! - We border Canada and I wish we were closer to an Amish store. Actually, we are not close to anything! Nearest Cosco is hours away. I have to stock up our two farm properties to last for long periods. My best friend lives in Maine, just over the North Conway, N.H.border. There is an Amish store near her that I buy from when visiting. At least my neighbors make maple syrup. We buy honey from a neighboring farm, as well as organic chicken, pork and eggs. We raise grass fed beef and have organic gardens. A challenge with a zone 4B growing season. I can't wait to try Kevin's cake! ~ Diane

The Mennonite store looks wonderful! I live in a small country town in the UK and we are lucky enough to have two small shops selling a good many interesting spices, and types of flour, etc. but nothing on the scale of your General Store. I used to visit the NE London area of Stoke Newington/Clapton quite regularly where there are a number of Turkish families and some similar stores specialising in their favoured products as well as day go day items, their bread being particularly good. Recently you posted a recipe for tomato pie which I hope to try, having found a recipe for buttermilk biscuits. I do however make something similar for which I invented the recipe, having bought some very tasty little tartlets, which later seemed to be unavailable. This is what I call Mediterranean Tart which I make in pie plate on a thinnish crisp pastry base (using an egg) topped with ratatouille chopped quite small and not too moist and covered with a mixture not unlike the mayonnaise & cheese but made by mixing yoghurt, grated cheese and egg together. This has always been well received and the recipe requested. It needs really the best olive oil you can find and/or afford! The pastry recipe can be found in Elizabeth David's Quiche Lorraine in French Provincial Cookery. I don't have many tea parties these days and don't have much of a taste for sweet things, so I have yet to try the chocolate mayo. cake which sounds lovely. Your serene videos are just a pleasure in themselves but keep coming up with your healthy and inventive receipts.

In my experience, mayonnaise in France is a lot more savoury than in other places. Maybe due to it containing lots of Dijon mustard. I wouldn't use such strong mayo for this recipe

🤣🤣🤣

Try not teary🤪

I read cookbooks the same way that you do -- as riveting novels!
