"I live in a very rural part of Idaho, and finding some of the ingredients listed is sometimes really difficult, so I have found that making these things myself not only tastes great and is economical, but very satisfying. Creme Fraiche is a delicious tangy creme used in soups, sauces and as a condiment."
