Crème Fraîche image

Crème fraîche can do anything sour cream does, more elegantly - serve it with caviar, drizzle on tacos, or dollop on berries. In fact, it's better than sour cream because it doesn't break at high temperatures: whisk a little into simmering sauces and soups to add tangy richness.
