I love creme fraiche. I use it to make a pasta sauce, warm on a low heat in a pan and stir through some chopped smoked salmon, lots of dill (I use dried) if you have some, lovely with pasta and garlic bread, I like to add a few drops of lemon juice too. Another favourite is fry some bacon cut into slices with some onion and mushrooms and then stir through creme fraiche on a low heat, a bit like carbonara and nice with spaghetti.

Our favourite is the creme fraiche/smoked salmon combo as a filling for gallettes, which are french savoury pancakes (I use the pancake recipe in the bero book, but I substitute the plain flour for buckwheat flour) fill with the creme fraice mixture and roll up. We had it in France on holiday and have been addicted ever since.

How about trying dipping strawberries into a bowl of creme fraiche for a fairly healthy snack? naughty but nice :-)

I bought a tub of crème fraîche for a cake recipe and have used very little.There's about 180g left.It's 35%.

It's not something that I usually buy.Can anyone give me vegetarian recipe suggestions?

Thanks.

I just use it in desserts that call for cream - add a bit of sugar if you feel it needs it. I am sure other will be along with more imaginative suggestions soon!

It's great anywhere you would normally use cream or yoghurt. I add some to cooked pasta with grated cheese to make a quick cheese sauce.
