Fruit and nut croquants are everything my husband loves in a cookie; orange, almond and raisins. I used all the optional ingredients in this cookie; orange rind, nutmeg, almond extract and cloves. I took Dorie’s advice “go heavier on the nuts than the fruit” and added 5 ounces of whole almonds with skin and 3…

Chocolate Pot de Crème
Tuesdays with Dorie members were tasked with making Tea and Honey Pots de Crème this week. Since I have not been fond of our latest tea flavored recipes I thought I would make one of Dorie’s Bonne Idee. There were three to choose from; vanilla, chocolate and caramel and I chose chocolate. As expected these…
Martine’s Lemon and Apple Tart
I am posting late this week, Thursdays with Dorie?, because I wanted to make this tart for my anniversary which happens to be today. This monumental year of 2020 is having me celebrate all kinds of milestones at home. I can also see my planned vacation, a cruise, vanish before my eyes. But on to…
Green Tea Sablés
We have made several sable recipes over the years from Baking Chez Moi and this will be our last. The basis of this cookie is like most; butter, sugar, flour, salt but the secret ingredient is green tea leaves. This recipe is different from the rest as it does not have an egg which made…
Speculoos Panna Cotta
We enjoyed last weeks Nutella-Banana Panna Cotta so much that I decided to do Dorie’s Bonne Idee of Speculoos Panna Cotta. I had a package of Lotus Biscoff cookies that I knew would be the perfect crunchy accompaniment. I waited in a long line at Trader Joe’s for my Speculoos Cookie Butter, as well as…
Nutella-Banana Panna Cotta
This is our third and final panna cotta recipe for Baking Chez Moi and this happens to be my favorite. I really enjoy Nutella and this dessert hit the spot. There were few ingredients but each required a separate dish so this was a dish plenty recipe. Gelatin was bloomed in one dish. Milk and…
Coco Rochers
Having just finished Lavender-White Chocolate Pots de Creme, which required 4 egg yolks, I had 4 egg whites to make these cookies. These are really for the coconut lover. I had to go out and buy unsweetened coconut for this recipe, Dorie says “sweetened coconut won’t give you the right texture.” This is a simple…
Lavender-White Chocolate Pots de Creme
This week at Tuesdays with Dorie we are cooking from Baking Chez Moi. Our final lavender recipe from both books, some in the group are very happy. These pots de creme were a big hit in my house. This was a rich and delicious dessert that I served with a dollop of whip cream and…
Carrement Chocolat, The Simple Loaf
We are a chocolate loving family and I knew this loaf cake would go over well. My son asked if there was any ‘funny’ stuff in it and I said nothing but chocolate. This cake is made very different from other cakes, a food processor is the main piece of equipment. Softened butter, eggs and…
