When I posted a few weeks ago about going to Camp Cassoulet, there was a frenzy of messages and comments from people; “I must have one! Where can I get one of those gorgeous cassoulet bowls?” Well, good things come to those who wait. And since you’ve waited, here’s your big chance to get an authentic cassole shipped right to your front door, along with…
Did you know that this Friday is the closing day for Menu For Hope IV? So far, we’ve just about rounded passed the $30,000 mark! I know many of you are angling for the deluxe KitchenAid Artisan Series Mixer, ice cream-making attachment, and copy of The Perfect Scoop that I will personally deface for you with my John Hancock (EU17), which I’ll spell a little…
Think it’s easy to self-publish online? Two new options from Heidi and Elise that do make it easy to create compilation cookbooks. Paris’ chic-est pipi palace. Chocolat v.1.0 (beta) Were these all the cutest moments of 2007—or what? (I watched it twice in a row on the plane! Too cute…)
Just a quick note that I’ll be a guest on The Daily Buzz Friday morning, December 14th. Click for showtimes and stations. No one told me the show starts at…gulp…6am, so if I look a little bleary…c’est comme ça! I’m not much of a morning person. In fact, I’m kinda mean at that hour. So it might be worth tuning in just for that. (Speaking…
As an avid baker, the one kitchen tool I rely on more than anything else is my KitchenAid mixer. And now you can have one in your kitchen too as part of Menu For Hope IV, raising money for the UN Food Programme in Lesotho. Through the generosity of KitchenAid, here’s your chance to win a brand-new KitchenAid Artisan® Series Stand Mixer. With the included…
This is the post I never thought I’d write. I never wanted to tackle madeleines. I thought they were something that…darn it…you just needed to eat when you’re in France. Like hamburgers and bagels, I didn’t think everything translated cross-culturally. If you wanted a madeleine, darn it, you came to France to have one. I mean, did you ever have a bagel in Banff? Do…
I don’t care what everyone’s saying about the decline of French culture. Doesn’t croustilles maïs soufflé fromage sound better than ‘cheese doodles‘?
That’s okay. I really didn’t want to make a batch of ice cream tonight anyways. (Although I really didn’t want to spend the next forty-five minutes on my hands and knees with a sponge and a bucket either.)
One of the best restaurants in Paris is one that I have a hard time recommending. It’s not that the food isn’t consistently very good-to-excellent. Nor is the service anything less than friendly and sincere. One problem with L’Entredgeu is that it’s way up in the 17th, pretty much away from everything else. That’s relatively minor, though. The big problem for me is the name;…
