French cooks have always been noted for their resourcefulness. Not only do they cook with a wide range of culinary herbs, but they also use unusual leaves and flowers to flavor foods. In this recipe peach leaves are used to give a delicate custard a gentle, almond-like taste. A fig leaf also gives a unique flavor to crème anglaise.
