Carrots Vichy

Posted on October 30, 2010 by terry

Simple and OH! so tasty, I can’t imagine why this recipe isn’t better known; tho’ there is the whole WWII French Government during Occupation thing (watch Casablanca again, it’ll all become clear). Nazi collaborateurs aside, Vichy is also known for … Continue reading →
