Inspiration


And so casse croutes begins...devoted to an intense passion for the things that inspire me...food sits at the forefront but I also adore design and all things French. This blog will track the musings about my favorite things - constant and ever-changing. How better to star than with a perfect french snack?




casse-croute: (noun) casse-croute m.
Snack or light meal taken between larger ones. The food that makes up that meal, usually quite portable.

The photo above features one of my most memorable meals in Paris (believe it or not) featuring a mere four ingredients of the finest quality.... baguette, gruyere, ham and butter. Ahhhh there is something to be said for simplicity.  Not to mention, I had the most enviable spot at Les Deux Magots in St. Germain - absolutely perfect for people watching.
