Peasant cooking is what people made when they had very little: beans, bread, an onion, a bone, a good fire and time. Fancy is what happens when someone who cares gets hold of it. This club is for the dishes that cost almost nothing and still taste like a dinner party. Anastasia posts her favorites with the whole recipe, photo included, and you cook along.
