Lara’s Olive Oil and Lemon Ice Cream with Rosemary Cornmeal Shortbreads is as pretty as a picture. Heidi churns up a batch of frozen yogurt that rivals Pinkberry’s. (Hey…what’s a ‘pinkberry’?) The Food Geek ain’t such a geek when it comes to churning up batch after batch. Michael Ruhlman finds my Malted Milk Ice Cream makes him feel like a kid again. (Then I wonder…
[Update: In 2018, new owners took over Blé Sucré. Some of the items have changed and these madeleines may no longer be available. You can find my Lemon-glazed madeleine recipe here.] The best Madeleines in the world are right here in Paris. Well…duh. You don’t need to visit my blog to know that, do you? I’ve never been one of those people who waxed poetically…
Sorry to see all the long faces out there. And I’m not talking about all the Celine Dion billboards around town promoting her upcoming concert. Which I am sorry to have to see. (The billboards, I mean…not the concert.) Anyhow, to cheer you up about me not coming to your town, or to prepare you if I am, here’s a post from my archives that…
Ok, here they are! I’ve finalized the dates for my US book tour in June, including lots of demonstrations and cooking classes where I’ll be baking up everything from Parisian chocolate desserts like Chocolate Chip Choquettes and refeshingly-icy Mocha Sorbet to my favorite summertime ice cream recipes including ice cream sandwiches with Peppermint Patty Ice Cream (with homemade peppermint patties) and Profiteroles with Roasted Banana…

And although I thought I’d never say this—I think I’ve had enough chocolate for…
Here’s my response to Sam’s query about giving her a peek into my unedited fridge. Since I’ve got plans to dine out all week for lunch and dinner, which means my refrigerator’s never been cleaner or emptier—I’m up to the challenge! Starting from the top (in no particular order): Presure: Liquid rennet from when I made my own cottage cheese. Which was pretty cool to…
I’m in the middle of leading a week-long Paris chocolate tour with Mort Rosenblum. So far, we’ve been enjoying… …the buttery-smooth caramels of Jacques Genin, studded with exotic Iranian pistachio nuts… …fluffy, bittersweet chocolate-covered marshmallows from Pierre Marcolini… …a delicious grande aïoli at Susan Loomis’ country home… …almond-rich, tender financiers from Eric Kayser… …briny oysters and cool rosé at La Coupole… …and Patrick Roger’s luscious…
I am definitely French. Today I went to the bank to deposit 134€ to make a payment. I had 135€. The bank teller told me, “We don’t have any change.” And the funny thing was—this didn’t surprise me.
