She is the liquid princess – Brioches marbrées au thé matcha

[Matcha green tea marble brioches]

With no rational reason except that those brioches looked terribly good, I decided to venture into the realm of feuilletage.

Now, this might be a common statement, but I haven’t spent much time in a home kitchen – let alone made pastries in a home kitchen – for the past eleven months.

In fact, I’ve never been so smitten with it as I am right now. It’s just that I get to have my daily fix every day, at the pâtisserie Lac [...]
