The pastoral countryside of Normandy, full of orchards and stunning villages, is famous for the “four C’s” Cream, Camembert, Cider, and Calvados. In this edition of our Exploring France series, Marie Rutherford will take you on a trip down the coast to make agneau vallee d’auge (braised lamb ribs with Calvados, leeks, and creme fraiche); celery root gratin with camembert and hazelnuts; and cabbage with apples, green onion, and horseradish vinaigrette. And since no dinner in France is complete without a bit of sweetness, you’ll finish the meal with classic far normand (apple and Calvados custard).
