Jacques Pepin walks us through a classic recipe from the French countryside: moules frite, or mussels with french fries. But first, he kicks off the episode with dessert by introducing a rich caramel custard au lait (1:00). Next he demonstrates how he likes to prepare French fries (3:55) for moules frite (10:53). Artichokes stuffed with mushrooms and breadcrumbs make a perfect side dish, rich in potassium. (5:44)
