Provencal Baked Carrots and Fennel

By roasting the carrots and fennel, you get these wonderful caramelised vegetables, which make you wonder why you ever boil or steam vegetables when you have a bit of time to prepare them.
Cream Puffs with Almonds and Speculoos Cream
Here we have cream puffs which are filled with a mixture of cream and Speculoos paste. This paste is an influence of Belgian cuisine and used often in French desserts.
French Lamb Shank Bourguignon
Lamb shanks are a tough cut of meat, yet very forgiving, so they do need to be cooked slowly. Herbs de Provence give this particular dish an amazingly tasty flavour. I use herbs de Provence in a number of dishes, and nothing quite compares with this combination of herbs. If you can, make yourself a mixture of these herbs to use when needed, and you will be surprised how often you will use them once you discover the flavour they produce. For those who missed the edition where I gave out the recipe for herbs de Provence, I will include it at the end of this recipe.
