Dramatic tides make a mysterious disappearing act out of France’s moules de bouchot.
THE BAY OF MONT SAINT-MICHEL divides Normandy and Brittany on France’s northern coast. Twice a day, the bay rises as much as 50 feet and then slinks away. At low tide, one might meander through the exposed mussel farms more than 100 yards out to the looming medieval Abbey of Mont Saint-Michel. As the tide creeps back in, the shell- covered pillars vanish under the water’s surface, and the abbey appears to be stranded at sea.

Our All-Time Best Recipes
If anyone should know if a recipe’s a keeper, it’s the person tasked with making sense of the original instructions—from the far reaches of Sri Lanka, say, or a famous chef who measures nothing. This might explain why many test kitchen staffers named favorites that their predecessors had tested and recommended. (Though a couple put forth recipes they developed themselves.) And while Saveur never shies away from the oddball authentic ingredient, the fare on the following pages is the stuff we cook at home, over and over again. Consider it global comfort food.
