Summer Reads: Dirt by Bill Buford
This is part of my Summer Reads series where I’ll be reviewing a series of “not just cookbooks”. Today’s Summer Reads book was a LONG read (976 pages on my e-reader and over 15 hours long as an audio book – with quite possibly the longest subtitle ever – Adventures in Lyon as a Chef […]
French Fridays: Dinner in French
Hello and Happy French Friday! Today I’m looking at Melissa Clark’s latest, Dinner in French; ostensibly a cookbook but also a lovely way to bring a little bit of France to your home this summer when most of us won’t get to travel there. From the publisher: Just as Julia Child brought French cooking to […]
Tuesdays with Dorie (Dorie’s Cookies): Parm Toasts
This week’s Tuesdays with Dorie recipe from Dorie’s Cookies was another savoury cookie – this time made with Parmesan cheese.

French Fridays: Making croissants with La Cuisine Paris (virtually)
Ok, so we all know Paris will see fewer visitors this year due to travel restrictions. I’m sure if you were planning a trip there this summer, you’re pretty sad to not be able to go. But the good news is that, thanks to the magic of technology, if you have flour, butter, yeast and […]
Tuesdays with Dorie (Baking Chez Moi): Merveilles
This week’s Tuesdays with Dorie recipe from Baking Chez Moi was another fried dough (not a doughnut but tasting a little bit like one!). “Merveilles” means “miracles” and Dorie says: Can sweet, brandied egg dough, fried until puffed and then sugared until it poses a threat to shirtfronts, be anything less than a miracle? The […]
