How to Shop at a Paris Market & Cook a Simple Cozy French Meal | Leek Gratin & Breaded Veal Chops

Food

Morning at Place Maubert, tucked into Saint-Germain-des-Prés 🤍 I begin at the market, gathering fresh leeks, Gruyère, and milk before stopping at my local butcher for beautiful veal rib chops. Back in my tiny Parisian kitchen, I’m making a simple, cozy French classic: Gratin de Poireaux avec Côtes de Veau Panées (Leek Gratin with Breaded Veal Chops). Sweet, slow-cooked leeks baked in cream and nutmeg, finished with melted Gruyère, served alongside golden, crispy veal cooked just slightly pink in the center — the way it’s traditionally done in France. This is the kind of quiet French home cooking I love most — seasonal ingredients, a morning at the market, and a comforting meal made in a small kitchen.

Love to watch your videos and at 68 I’m trying new recipes I find from watching videos such as yours. The leak and béchamel sauce recipe seems so delicious that I must make it today! Everything you make is amazing. Keep them coming.

You need a benchtop with selves on wheels that you can move around for more workspace, like a timber chopping block but bigger 😀
