Recipes and Stories by Beatrice Ojakangas

  • Fougasse

    Fougasse is the French version of focaccia, the Italian yeasted flatbread flavored with herbs and drizzled with olive oil. From start to finish, this bread takes less than 2 hours, very little of it active time. It's best served straight from the oven. Herbes de Provence is a classic mix of dried herbs commonly used in its namesake locale. It is available in most grocery stores, or you can make your own using the recipe in the box on the opposite page.
  • Old-Fashioned Grilled Cheese, Apple and Basil Sandwiches

    Slices of crisp fall apples and fresh basil leaves lend a whiff of the season to this classic sandwich.
  • Easy Cream of Tomato Soup

    There's nothing quite as homespun as a bowl of tomato soup with a classic grilled cheese sandwich.
