How to Make Moroccan Pastillas at Home

April 13, 2020

Pastilla is a typical Moroccan dish, which we learned to make on our last culinary adventure to Marrakesh.

Recipe for a Classic French Apple Tart

April 10, 2020

There is something je ne sais quoi about a classic French Apple Tart, actually that is not true. I know exactly what it is about this French dessert that is so attractive.

Tarte Tropezienne a Delicious Recipe for Serious Bakers

April 8, 2020

Tarte Tropezienne is a slice of French Heaven. Personally, I am a Tarte Tropezienne "Super Fan" and have made this pastry for 12 years. This long-time dessert favourite has been around for over 60 years. Brigitte Bardot made the Tropezienne famous by when she first moved to Saint Tropez. To create this amazing dessert, there are three separate parts to the recipe: the brioche, the pastry cream and the whipped cream.

April 2, 2020

I remember the first time I experienced a Pan Bagnat – I was a student in France and had taken my first trip to Nice.

Spiced Duck Breasts – Magret de Canard aux Épices

April 1, 2020

My inspiration for Spiced Duck Breasts was a recipe in Food & Wine. The dish is an international fusion where a Mexican spice blend meets a French-style magret de canard. The blackberry-balsamic reduction adds a touch of sweetness offsetting the spice. The result was delicious despite not quite following my ...
