A traditional French Provençal stewed vegetable dish. Easy to make. Usually served as a side dish, but can be served as a meal on its own with pasta, bread or rice.

Biscotti are Italian twice-baked biscuits. They are quite dry and crispy and are a perfect accompaniment to dunk into coffee, crème brulées, mousses or pannacottas. Again these make a very tasty edible Christmas gift and look very attractive packaged in a jar tied with ribbon.
