In reply to Isabella. Hi Isabella, I suggest you use quinoa puffs instead of the groats! I don't think oatmeal would taste as good and may fall apart

I'd love to try this recipe. I have all the ingredients except for buckwheat groats. Can I use coarse oatmeal instead? If not, what do you recommend? Btw, I was born, raised and lived a good part of my life in Montreal. I'm in the States now but I'm very much European. I'm excited to have found your blog and look forward to trying some recipes!

In reply to Rebekah. Sounds like a pot au feu! But I'm with you on the desserts front. The French sure know their way around the patisserie table ;)

This looks beautiful, Ksenia - I believe I know what my Thanksgiving contribution will be this year! My French dish repertoire is dishearteningly limited, but count me in for anything drizzled in Quebec maple syrup 😉

What a lovely giveaway! I am not sure what is my favorite French dish, because I mainly major in French desserts, lol! 😀 But my family and I make a dish that is similar to a french dish: beef with a rich tomato sauce and carrots, on top of mashed potatoes.
Otherwise I LOVE, love love eclaires, madeleines, Mille-feuille, crepes, creme brulee etc. etc. etc.

In reply to Sandra Furlotte. Wow, that's great! Sandra, I'd love to hear more about them - where are they from? Quebec, or somewhere else - Ontario, Manitoba, Nova Scotia? Sugar pie is absolutely awesome.

In reply to Jason Sandeman. Hey, if the child is really awesome... Just kidding! I like the way you think though: onion soup was the first dish I truly appreciated as a child, and one I took very seriously to mastering at one point in my life (using different types of onions, cooking them at an extremely low temperature, picking just the right cheese)... Ah, now I need to go make myself onion soup for breakfast.

In reply to Kathryn @ The Scratch Artist. Kathryn, that tart pan is from amazon and cost at most $15! It was really affordable, and I've been super pleased with it. And I knew you'd see eye-to-eye on the modifications - and though I didn't mention it in the text, I really just thought that a buckwheat crust would go well with a buckwheat filling!

my husband's family is French Canadian and I remember with great fondness all the dishes his mother used to make. Especially loved Sugar Pie.

My favorite french dish? That's like asking to pick one child from a group of 20 children LOL. Honestly? Foie Gras, or maybe torchon. Perhaps cassoulet is top on my list. Then there is consomme... or something more basic... a beautiful onion soup!
