Tuesdays with Dorie Baking Chez Moi I am just back from a whirlwind three week vacation. I am getting used to this time zone and the inter-workings of my kitchen again. I wasn’t planning on making this recipe as I wasn’t sure my brain could handle it after vacation but cherries were on sale so…

Vanilla-Bean Sables
Tuesdays with Dorie Baking Chez Moi Greetings from the Netherlands! I had a chance to bake these off prior to leaving on vacation. These are the second sables we have made and we have more to come. I am so happy how these turned out as my cookie dough logs were not round. I used…
Classic Fruit Tart
Tuesdays with Dorie Baking Chez Moi The perfect summer dessert, classic fruit tart. Made with Dorie’s flawless sweet tart dough, vanilla pastry cream and a bounty of summer berries. I glazed my berries with raspberry jam as that is what I had on hand. This was a delicious way to end a meal on a…
Black-and-White Baked Alaska
Tuesdays with Dorie Baking Chez Moi This wonderful baked Alaska was the dessert for our Father’s Day celebration. The base is a flourless chocolate cake described as “fallen souffle with a brownie-like texture”. It was the perfect base because it did not get too hard in the freezer. I made anise ice cream from The…
Cowgirl Cornmeal-Pecan Financiers
Tuesdays with Dorie Baking Chez Moi Our second Financiers from Baking Chez Moi. This southern take on a French dessert is made with ground pecans, cornmeal and butter, lots of butter. This is quite a rich dessert and one was quite satisfying. My mini-muffin pan made about 24 with a tablespoon and a half scoop….

Apple Matafan
I have never made or tasted a matafan. Dorie describes it as a large apple pancake. In the division of labor in my house, pancakes come under my husband’s job description. I gave him the recipe and said “you’re in charge”. Good timing too as I ended up sick this weekend and probably would not…
Viennese Sables
Butter, sugar, flour, the perfect trifecta. These simple butter cookies are my first try at Viennese Sables. When I soften butter for cookies I usually get it too warm but in this recipe it worked. Very warm softened butter is creamed with confectioners’ sugar which was easy to do by hand with a spatula. Additional…
Pailles
Tuesdays with Dorie Baking Chez Moi I had one sheet of puff pastry in my freezer so that was my motivating factor in voting for this one. Also, my husband loves anything with jam. I am a novice when it comes to puff pastry and I think it showed in this dessert. Dorie’s directions were…
Apple Weekend Cake
Tuesdays with Dorie Baking Chez Moi According to Dorie this recipe is from the Normandy region of France. For this cake she suggests using sweet, juicy apples so I went with Jazz apples which are a fusion between a Royal Gala and a Bareburn Apple. My notes for this recipe were moist, delicious, easy and…
