Tuesdays with Dorie (Baking Chez Moi): Chocolate Cream Puffs with Mascarpone Filling
This week’s Tuesdays with Dorie recipe from Baking Chez Moi was a recipe I made four years ago when Baking Chez Moi first came out. Profiteroles are always a good idea and Dorie has the brilliant idea to make this chocolate version which appears in Baking Chez Moi. I’ve made these a number of times […]

It’s an appalling statistic but did you also know there is an organisation dedicated to disaster relief working hard to help, all over the world? Have you heard of ShelterBox ? When people […]
French Fridays: Orange pound cake from My Paris Kitchen
This week’s recipe for Cook the Book Fridays from David Lebovitz’s My Paris Kitchen was actually a Bay Leaf Pound Cake with an orange glaze but I opted for a plain orange pound cake that David suggests. The bay leaf version involved infusing butter with bay leaves for a while and I thought that apart […]
