L’espace d’un moment – Une semaine de printemps
[Spur of the moment - A spring week]
J’aime: fudge-like cocoa brownies, pretty fabrics, roast pumpkin soup with lots of chili pepper, blooming flowers, perfect macarons, finding the perfect shop for kitchen tools, bright pink rhubarb, sharing a cheap Chinese take-away with Guillaume, polaroid pictures, waking up early, and dark chocolate with maldon sea salt.
Le must: coming up with the most reliable recipe for macarons; after weeks of research. It feels like finding out you had had a treasure lying in your attic for ages.
I’m super happy because these cute little guys are so going to be part of the book I’m – deceptively slowly – trying to write (not this picture though, it was just a mere snapshot taken tonight, on the floor of our bedroom with a table cloth suspended in between two chairs to reduce the incoming light).
I will definitely share some more pictures later this week (or perhaps, more realistically, month) after I post the recipe for the most delicious brownies ever and the funny story that goes behind them.

Can’t wait to hear from you each week – yes! I’m completely hopeless at macaroons (but then I blame my gas oven ;-)) but can understand people’s fascination with them and yours look oh so pretty. Spring makes us feel so inspired, thanks for the stunning pictures.
Oh and I must try that chocolate with maldon sea salt, especially as I’ll be in the UK next week.
Make sure you get some maldon sea salt. It’s lovely. For the chocolate bar, I simply tempered some dark chocolate and sprinkle a little salt while the chocolate was setting.

Pretty picture! What is the red stripe n the macaron?
You’ll find out more about this soon, but it’s just a brush stroke made with food colouring before the shells go into the oven. x

it’s been such a long time that I last posted a comment on foodbeam or petit navire!
I’m looking forward to having the recipe from your fantastic brownies! and I so understand the feeling of discovering a treasure with your macaron recipe…
my latest crush is Pommes d’amour, I’m hunting them down (even in yoghurt!).
have you seen Oh Joy’s last post on polaroid scarves? I immediately thought about you when seeing this.
Take good care,
L.

Fanny – I love your impromptu “lightbox” ideas; first the books while you were on vacation and now the tablecloth between the chairs! Ingenious! Of course, the macarons are beautiful too ;)
