In reply to Diane.

Honestly, Diane, corn isn’t often found here either in recipes. And you’ll most often here of corn being used the same way way here (for animals). We actually just returned from Italy, and my husband’s uncle had some ears of corn I thought were going on the fire… But no, they were for the pigs!

That said, certain areas and certain people will use corn for themselves as well… But it’s much, MUCH less common than I found it in North America.

I was very surprised to see corn in this recipe. My Italian grandmother used to say that corn was feed for pigs and, therefore, she never served it. As I recall, it was only used, in its dried and ground form, mainly as the basis for polenta or in baking. Has it always been a part of French cuisine? Just curious.

In reply to Rob N. Thanks for reaching out, Rob. Happy to hear the base was used as inspiration to make this dish with what you had on hand (and wanted to add), and love the addition of buckwheat. Fruit galettes are a wonderful next step. Enjoy the recipes!

I made this with 20% buckwheat flour (as we enjoyed often in Normandy). I used the vegs that I had on hand, peas, corn, tomatoes, and thinly sliced Yukon potatoes. Although I usually cook and bake vegan, I used butter in the crust as directed, and added grated cheese as directed. And for more balanced macronutrients, I added meatless soy « meat » crumbles for protein. Really happy with the outcome appearance, taste, and flaky crust. Fruit galettes are next. Thank you.

Delicious and very easy. The crust was so simple and rolled out beautifully. Again fresh garden tomatoes really make it and your carrot salad was a perfect side.

In reply to Maureen Deeley. Hi Maureen! Sorry to hear this recipe didn't taste how you wanted. This galette is all about letting the seasonal tomatoes shine, but there are many ways to spruce it up to better fit your taste (galettes are great for that!): add more cheese or a different kind of cheese (smoked cheddar?), add dried herbs, add salty fixings on top (ie. anchovy fillets, olives, etc.) or even some drained, canned tuna flakes. I hope this helps!

Not a fan – pretty lackluster in taste. Used fresh corn and tomatoes – really needs a bit of zip – more cheese, Dijon brushed on crust???

In reply to Jill. Hi Jill. You can substitute the 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise by 2 extra tablespoons of butter. Happy cooking!
