Ouh la menteuse, elle est amoureuse – Granola aux noix de pécan, sirop d’érable et banane

[Oh the lier, she has a lover* - Pecan, maple syrup and banana chips granola]

Do you remember when, a couple of days ago, I told you that 1) I had no recipe to share, and 2) Jamie’s chicken is the base of our food diet?
(I made sure to quote the two facts above so it’s [...]

Le concorde, un entremet tout chocolat – Aller simple pour Londres

[Concorde, an all-chocolate entremet - A one-way ticket to London]

Strangely enough, the past couple of days have – unlike the thousands that came before – felt soothing.
Almost like a slow motion picture.

In fact, this has sort of become a common fact. Every day spent in Entrevaux – a small village surrounded by mountains, and where [...]

We’d lie around in bed all day – Tarte à la citrouille

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 [...]

Tellement simple, mais terriblement bon – Le fondant au chocolat

[So easy, yet terribly good - The ultimate chocolate fondant cake]

Apparently, I told you I was going to come back with something glamourous. Pardon me if I’m mistaken, but in my world, a light cake topped with a delicate mousse feels glamourous.

A fondant au chocolat just doesn’t. It’s plain. It’s dark. And it’s damn good.

So good in fact, I had to write about it right away. Just a couple of hours after I hade made it, as a matter of fact.
If this doesn’t convince you to rush to your kitchen and make this fondant, please do listen carefully.

I made a cake. Took pictures. And blogged about it. In less than twenty-four hours [...]
