Prunes pochées dans un sirop épicé de thé à la menthe-verveine This post has been long overdue…I made those plums in fall, so when they were in season, then never got the chance to post it.

Simple et traditionnel – Flans de semoule au caramel   Some people call this gâteau, it’s more like a flan to me than a cake, no matter how you call it, this is a very traditional French dessert.

De saison – Tarte à l’abricot et romarin I love summer, partly because I can eat peaches and apricots sans limites! My two favorites fruits are in season, and I only wait for summer to come, just to indulge in juicy peaches, nectarines, and apricots. My friend Simon in France asked me why I was [...]

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 [...]
