FFwd: Eggplant “Tartine” with Tomatoes, Olives, and Cucumber

Wow! Well, I think I have found my most favorite French Fridays with Dorie ever! And that's so surprising because I didn't think this would be anything special at all.

FFwD: Peach Melba

This week's French Fridays with Dorie was Peach Melba, which I didn't really know what it was before I made it. Does it involve toast? No. Not at all.
