La Briffe is such a delight. A question for my fellow readers: Am I understanding correctly that we aren’t going to bother coddling our eggs? That we’re going with cold and raw, not warm and raw?

That's my advice...

What a lovely Caesar Salad recipe, merci for that. I wanted to flag that the link to "printable recipe" is not properly working. Thank you, kindly.

The Good Earth article is a beautiful read. It would be wonderful to know if these farms and producers still exist.

Someone told me that Caesar salad dressing had anchovies in it. I would have never guessed it but it sure does taste good.

Oh my you are brining up some wonderful memories of cooking in LA in the early 80's. Patrick Terrial at Ma Maison getting foie gras smuggled in from France in wine crates. Patrick Healy walking in with a huge tin (1kg?) of Russian caviar he got from "some guy" off a ship. Farm to table wasn't even a dream at that point but it was coming. Thank you for these old articles!

Would love to make the salad tonight, but when I went to consult the printable recipe, I found it was "in the owner's trash." Could you restore it to active duty from your trash bin? Thank you!

Thanks so much for the Caesar Salad recipe. I feel I’ve been on a decades-long quest for a great Caesar, ordering one whenever it’s on a menu which usually turn out to be mediocre if not awful, with a few rare exceptions. Finally I can make a great one myself with your recipe! What a great gift. Thanks, Ruth.
