Roland has tried to explain to me why creme fraiche is so special and that often, it's been a challenge to find the real deal.  I didn't get it until after I had some and, it's marvelous!!  It is so versatile and can be incorporated into many things from desserts to the main dish.  Creme Fraiche is a mainstay in many French dishes. 

I guess I thought of it more like a sour cream but, in actuality, it's something quite different.  I have included some different articles that will give you a taste of what creme fraiche is all about and some sampling of the different ways it can be used.

Bon Apetit!
