What are pommes columbine?

Question

Does anyone have a recipe for these? Not sure if the spelling is 100% correct.

Unfortunately I dont have any more info. My friend is doing a chef course and that is what she is making next week, she was just trying to do some research on it, but its not in her text book!

Answer 1

pommes is apples in french..pommes de terre in french is potatoes...pommes frites is french fried potatoes in french..so pommes could refer to potatoes OR apples

....columbine may be a restaurant in new york?

I am thinking Columbine is a type of flower...that could be used as a food dye or as an edible garnish... look about 1/2 down the page about columbines, then blue and cornflowers..

here is a description with pics of columbine flowers..on henry fields..not sure if edible or not...maybe they want him to make up a recipe for blue(?) apples or blue(?)potatoes using essence of flowers or pureed/liquified flowers as a food coloring or apples or potatoes with candied columbine flowers as a garnish?

then here is a hybrid of columbine called "green apples" for its color..

Here is something about crimson columbine flower essence is good for ADD disorder...so probably can buy the flower essence in health food stores and maybe recipes there also..may add a flavor and a coloring to apples (or else it is the candied green apple columbine flowers alone)

Answer 2

Pommes in German means fry. Columbine is a plant . There is a Deli in Manhattan named Columbine that serves
Pommes Frites or homade french fried potatoes. Are you looking for recipe to tell you how to prepare potatoes like they do?

Answer 3

I think your friend may have the wrong name for the dish.

I have a course book from my Uni days and the potato section has 51 pommes dishes, none being columbine.

If its Pommes:

a la creme, a la neige, amandines, allumettes, Anna, au four, au lard,
bataille, berrichonne, biarritz, brioche, Byron,
champignol, chateau, cocotte, cretan, chips, croquettes,
dauphine, Delmonico, duchesse,
en robe de chambre,
fondantes, frites,
galette, gaufrettes, gratinees,
Lorette, lyonnaise,
Macaire, maitre d'hotel, marquise, mignonettes,
nature, nouvelles, nouvelles rissolees, noisette,
pailles, parisienne, Parmentier, persillees, Pont Neuf, puree, puree au gratin, puree a la creme,
rissolees, roties,
sautees, sautees a cru,
vapeur,

I can help, but if not, sorry. Show list to friend & see if they recognise the name. I can help you then.

Good Luck & hope they taste nice!
