i’m very confused about the à vs de usage with ingredients. do you have any more examples? a chocolate chip cookie, for example… bisquit aux pepites de chocolat? chicken broth: bouillon au poulet?
Chocolate chip cookie = un biscuit aux pepites de chocolat, because chocolate chips are only one of many ingredients.
Chicken stock = bouillon de poulet, because you basically make it by boiling a chicken, that is the sole or primary ingredient.

hello miss lawless.
thanks so much for this post.
I had some troubles understanding why they use ‘à’ for ‘salle à manger’ and I asked it in duolingo and my friend there linked me to your post. so great that you had the exact example here.
