    Jim, we really miss the chevre-spinach croquettes with tomato and caper sauce on the menu at Cafe Presse.

    Is there any possibility you would be willing to share the recipe? I’ve scoured your blog, but am unable to find it.

    We adore your restaurant and all best!

      Hello Kim;

      Thanks so much for your kind words about Café Presse. I am in France right now (!!) but will definitely get you the croquette recipe as soon as feasible. It may be a few days but not to worry and thanks for your patience.
