Food IS love made tangible... it is a gift that meets the needs of the soul as well as the body. I have found that preparing and presenting food with great care is worth the effort....creating an atmosphere that warmly invites guests to linger. As Julia Child said, "Nothing is too much trouble, if it turns out as it should."

French Toast


This French Toast is really sweet. Use fresh nutmeg, grated. The topping is chopped walnuts and dried cranberries, gently toasted in olive oil on the stovetop, with a bit of Cabernet Sauvignon. When the toast is ready to serve, top with the cranberries and walnut mixture and a bit of pure maple syrup. If you want a few more calories and sweetness, add a few dollops of whipped cream. Slices of a very tart apple complement this dish well.
