  1. This couldn't have come at a better time – I have lots of vegetables to use up and didn't know what to do with them. I'll be makeing the pepper and onion tarte tonight, thanks.

  2. I came for the recipes and left with a treasure trove of cooking tips and secrets!
    I plan on making one of these this weekend!

  3. Oh my. I will definitely make these while here on the island. I will need just a few things when going shopping on next island for groceries. Wow. I can't wait. Merci

  4. Merci beaucoup for all your recipes! Your tarte aux poivrons looks absolutely adorable! (I love spicy food…) 😋 Would you recommend to put some garlic in?

  5. That is blatant click bait. I was expecting to see some actual French tarts, you know, frilly dresses up over the head and all that. Cheers fron Down Under❤🐨❤🐨❤🐨

  6. Do let me know if you enjoyed this video! It was the first of a new ' French Cooking' playlist I'm starting. I'll still be making my usual videos though, all about living a beautiful life…inspired by the French.
