Hmm, I know who plays the flute and the piano, but who plays the mandoline? :D
Magura :)

Th. is :)

Speaking of delicious....Can you recall the name of the dessert with apples that Miss T. is good at making?

Magura :)

I should know as they all learned from me, but in that case I don't remember :(...
You don't mean the apple pie (tarte aux pommes with pâte sablée), don't you ...?

I recall one visit to Macon where i had to be driven back, stretched out on the back seat, pants in emergency release position.
Staying there longer than a week is life threatening.

Thanks that you didn't post a pic ...

Same story happens to a german friend of mine who had that bad idea to eat some fish on Monday in a restaurant in Toulon (South France). Some hours later, driving the highway back to Frankfurt, he had to throw his desecrated pant out of the window ...

But speaking of cooking. I am looking for a good Mandoline (not for the music but for the vegetable)... Can you recommend a good one?
I was at Dehillerin in Parigi, and I saw this one from Bron which looks quite good ... What do you think?

I no longer use mandolines. I now prefer to use a rotary slicer. Quite a difference in speed. It's a fully stainless and chrome hand crank type with 6 different "barrels" for the different jobs. Slicer, small grater, large grater, crinkle cutter and two more that I'll have to go home and look as I can't remember right now. :D

Bron is the best, but including a protection tray accessory it'll likely do +150 €€ks.
Positive about (French) pro gear is that you'll likely be able to get replacement blades in decades from now, safer for fingers too.

(ordering a new bowl for my Magimix food professeur was easy peasy. cooking aid placed it too close to the gas, result in a melted edge)

Thanks for the link ... Nice thread, I was not aware of ... Kind of How to get fat in less than 10 dishes ...:D

I have sort of slicer but still prefer mandoline or hand cut. I don't know why but sharp cuts taste better (except for cheese) ...
