Here are a couple of French recipes to celebrate Bastille Day, France's National Celebration (La Fête Nationale) and what was the start of the French Revolution. Where would we be today without French cuisine?

Based on the classic French recipe, these madeleines are much more flavorful with hints of ginger, cinnamon and cloves, orange zest, and honey.

Go to the recipe for Honey Spiced Madeleines.


A common Niçoise street food, the name Pissaladière is derived from the word pissala, French for anchovy paste. This pizza-like treat is simply delicious with anchovies, sauteed onions, Niçoise olives and herbs.

Go to the recipe for Pissaladière .
