Une ancienne tarte – Tartelettes sucrées au pavot This tart is an old specialty from Lorraine, to be more precise, the city of Toul (a very small town near Nancy), which no one in the US probably knows where it is nor how to pronounce it…nothing wrong with it, since most French people don’t know [...]

Pour faire vivre les traditions – Gâteau au chocolat de Metz I doubt that anyone living in the US knows the city of Metz (pronounced Mess, even the majority of French people pronounce the “T” which is incorrect)…I know it because I went to school there and it’s located 50 km from Nancy where I [...]

Le petit croustillant du lundi – Croustillant chaud de mangue, banane et ananas, crème au mascarpone I adore filo dough but never use it. Do you believe it? I can drool over appetizers and desserts made with filo dough but when it’s time to buy it, I always forget or buy something else. So people [...]

Una fetta, due fette, dieci fette – Fettine con mandorle della Signora Lucia That is a traditional Italian “dry”cookie, maybe what is called in the US, “biscotti” – Biscotti in Italian literally means cookies, and is more a generic word for cookies than for that type of sliced bread shape with [...]

Douceurs blanches dans un pot – Yaourts Figues-Vanille et Pomme-Kiwi I have been back to the US since last Friday and one thing that I already start missing is the yogurt. If you haven’t tried homemade yogurts, you haven’t tasted the goodness of what a real yogurt can be. I have always been [...]

Simplement Irrésistibles – Bouchées à la noix de coco ou macarons? The weather is getting a little warmer than the past days and the snow is melting which did not prevent me from going shopping today for warm clothes since I realized that my suitcase is filled with summery clothes. Eh oui, [...]

Une ancienne tradition – La galette des Rois Yes, it’s this time of the year again. Every January 6, in France we celebrate La Galette des Rois (rois = kings), for the pleasure of kids and adults too. I haven’t met anyone who doesn’t like Galette des Rois. It’s this sweet thing that even non-sweet [...]

Une simple histoire de pommes – Flan vanillé aux pommes Not sure what I like best, vegetable flans or fruit flans… The French love flans, for the simple reason that they’re just too good. I bought too many apples and needed to do something with them. The thought of more apple cakes, apple [...]

Aussi jolies que des perles – Crème de tapioca à la noix de coco et compote de mangues I was reading a French Elle magazine, I like Elle because they always have a great food/recipe section at the end called “Elle à Table” with fresh and modern recipes and tons of flavors. I got stuck on a tapioca [...]

Pom pom pom, envie de pommes – Tarte aux pommes aux raisins secs et calvados There are as many apple tart recipes, than there are people…I bought tons of apples for my parakeet Pepita (it turned out she is a girl) but then I have ants all over the place, that drives me insane and they go all over [...]
