French Fridays: Madeleines from My Paris Kitchen
This week’s recipe for Cook the Book Fridays from David Lebovitz’s My Paris Kitchen was madeleines – and, in fact, I made madeleines twice in a day – once with a parent-child cooking class and once making David’s recipe.

My favourite version comes from Stohrer in […]
