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 [...]

Un cucchiaio o due – Zabaglione con pere caramellizzate We are still in Italy with this dessert and it’s one of my favorite, I love anything creamy with vanilla but still light.

Charlotte sometimes – Charlotte au chocolat blanc et framboises I bought a nice charlotte mold from France last summer, I wanted one so bad, then I got it, and since then, I barely used it. It’s the second time in one year that I made charlotte. What a shame…I am just not a sweet tooth, but there [...]
