This posting of Tuesdays with Dorie is bittersweet; we have come to the end of Baking Chez Moi. My husband said, “well start from the beginning again” which does sound like a good idea. I am not sure who has had more fun in this journey, me or my husband. This is the first Dorie…

Parisian Macarons
My first turn at Parisian Macarons and I thought they turned out rather well. I went with pink and salted caramel filling. These were beloved by all and I think I will make them again with a new filling. Admittedly, I did not wait 24 hours before trying one:) I made the full recipe and…
Olive Oil and Wine Cookies
I made these in January 2017. Here is what I had to say back then. Olive Oil and Wine cookies from Baking Chez Moi (page 315). Dorie says these are from the Languedoc-Roussillon region in the south of France, a non-butter region. The cookies are usually made with Muscat de Rivesaltes but I just used…
Caramelized Cinnamon-Milk Chocolate Tart
I have been looking forward to this tart for a very long time and I was not disappointed and neither was my family. Armed with my cinnamon from Costa Rica, one of my friends bought for me, I delved into this recipe. A quarter of a cup of sugar is caramelized with two cinnamon sticks….
Double-Mint Milk Chocolate Mousse and Gelee
Mint is not my husband’s favorite flavor, he prefers I not use fresh mint in dishes and mint chocolate chip would not be his ice cream of choice. On the other hand my son and I love all thinks mint so I jumped into this recipe from Baking Chez Moi with both feet. I don’t…
Canistrelli
Another non-sweet wine cookie from Baking Chez Moi. I remember the Olive Oil and Wine Cookies we made in the past, they were not my favorite. I was willing to buy the white wine for these but not the Pastis which is an anise flavored liqueur. Steph helped me pick Limoncello from my available liqueurs….
Merveilles
We have another fried dessert on Tuesdays with Dorie. Merveille means miracle and it is a miracle that I made this recipe. The dough is soft and requires two chillings. It is supposed to be rolled until it is paper-thin. My dough kept either sticking to the cutting board or getting holes in it before…
Tropical Tartlets
This month on Tuesdays with Dorie we have had a tropical theme; mango, lime and coconut. Given that none of us can travel beyond our own backyards we are traveling with our food adventures. These tropical tartlets from Baking Chez Moi live up to their name. The filling is comprised of mango, eggs, sugar, coconut,…
Crème Brûlée Tart
Another fabulous tart on Tuesdays with Dorie. We are down to the final tarts from Baking Chez Moi. Taking a traditional creme brulee filling and putting into a tart is tasty. I used the optional extracts of vanilla and chambord which I am not sure I tasted. I put in a half a cup of…
Ladyfingers
When these ladyfingers were assigned for Baking Chez Moi I knew I would be making something with them. I picked Raspberry Tiramisu en Verrine from Around My French Table. This is a layered dessert a verrine (short glass). Ladyfingers are brushed with kirsch, framboise or creme de cassis or in my case Chambord. The raspberry…
