It’s finally here – release day! I know, I KNOW… it feels like FOREVER that I’ve been going on about this book (believe me, I know how long it feels, this process!) but today’s the official on-sale date (although lots of people have had their books shipped already)! Over the past couple of weeks, a […]
French Fridays: Almond cakes with browned butter from My Paris Kitchen
This week’s recipe for Cook the Book Fridays from David Lebovitz’s My Paris Kitchen was little browned butter almond cakes aka financiers. These are one of my absolute favourite “goûter” (tea time) snacks (so much so that I have a recipe for them in In the French kitchen with kids) so I’m always happy to […]
Les Petits Chefs make gougères from In the French kitchen with kids
We’re back! The Petits Chefs are back for the term! We had a huge amount of boys sign up (many many more than I can accommodate) which is heartening and hard at the same time. SO happy so many boys are interested in learning to cook, it’s hard because I can’t take everyone at the […]
Tuesdays with Dorie (Dorie’s Cookies): Devil’s Food Wafflets with Chocolate Sauce
I made this week’s Tuesdays with Dorie recipe from Dorie’s Cookies and completely missed the “chocolate sauce” part of the recipe. I KNOW, right – how does that happen? Dorie says: These wafflets can be either a snack or a dessert, but if you decide to serve them for breakfast, who am I to judge? […]
French Fridays: Roasted tomato quiche
Nope, it doesn’t seem I can seem to quit tomatoes – even when they are on their way out of season… This is a dish I made countless times over the summer when tomatoes were at their peak but I love that it works just as well with tomatoes that are not in season – […]
Devour Madrid: Tapas like a local
Many of you will know that this summer I walked my third stage of the Camino, my first year walking solo. Now, I love me some me time and this trip definitely gave me a lot of that but I did find that one of the most challenging parts about solo travel was meal times. […]
Tuesdays with Dorie (Baking Chez Moi): Basque Macarons
So, you think you can’t make macarons? Think again – this week’s Tuesdays with Dorie recipe from Baking Chez Moi is the ORIGINAL macaron that anyone can make! That’s right – the original macaron was not a pretty sandwich cookie, though the basic ingredients (egg whites, almond flour and sugar) are the same. If you […]
