Candy cake for the #TelethonGourmand

Hey, it’s not often that we meet like this two days apart! But for a good cause, I’ve had to shake things up a bit. I’ve been asked to relay the Telethon on social networks. I’m really happy because it’s a cause that’s close to my heart. I’m extremely fortunate not to have any sick people in my family, but how can I remain insensitive to the families who fight the disease on a daily basis? So for the occasion, I’ve created this candy cake, which will be my contribution to the #telethongourmand. Continue reading “Candy cake for the #TelethonGourmand”

Giant Cookie (in 30 minutes)

I’m firmly convinced that no problem on earth can be solved with a pair of cookies (yes, in my house, just like shoes, cookies are one of those wonderful things that come in pairs!). I made this giant cookie during a weekend in Normandy. After a little swim (in 13° water, after all…), I had to find a comforting snack to recover, so I jumped at the chance! And I have to say, I wasn’t disappointed!

Soft chocolate crinkles!

As the weather is again a little gloomy today, it’s time to publish these little cookies with an INCREDIBLE texture. They’re melt-in-your-mouth soft and chewy, as if they were stuffed with powdered almonds, even though there’s not an ounce of them! I call them: chocolate crinkles!

Bernard’s atomic chocolate muffins

This weekend, I finally took the time to try out one of my Christmas gifts by testing Bernard’s famous recipe for atomic chocolate muffins. Yes, I know I’m not very early, but um… my colleagues can testify to the fact that I’m mad about the calendar this year… So I took advantage of a somewhat quiet weekend to test out my super new Wilton muffin tray, spotted at Bernard’s. I usually find that the baked goods we buy aren’t as good as the homemade ones. For chocolate muffins, on the other hand, I’d never managed to find a recipe with the airy, fluffy texture you’d find in the shops (so far, my favorite top recipe is Quick’s, although I must admit that Starbucks puts up a pretty good fight).

Mom’s chocolate cake: how it all began…

It’s never easy to get started on your first article. Finding the words, setting the tone and sharing your universe while trying to captivate your readers, is really not easy. To launch this blog, I wanted to start with the recipe that marked my childhood (long before the CAP, culinary challenges and recipes that require 3 hours in the kitchen …). I can quote this recipe with my eyes closed, even if I haven’t made it in 4 years. It’s foolproof, affordable and ready in 1 hour (including cooking time). I call it: Maman’s chocolate cake!
