About

If there is one thing the French are proud of, it’s the baguettes and their cooking culture, putting aside the Béret and the stinky cheeses of course ;-).This food blog is just a recollection of my attempts, (mostly) failures and (few) successes, to live up to our reputation.

Although I’d rather eat salty meals, I tend to prefer baking pastries. Don’t be therefore surprised if most posts are about pastry recipes and techniques. I hope you’ll enjoy them and I’ll try my best not only to transcribe recipes, but also to pass on the tips & secrets I learnt along the way, in spite of my tiny Parisian kitchen, and which are often lacking from traditional books.

Feel free to comment or drop an email if you have any questions or if you want me to give a try at your favorite recipe.
