Tuesdays with Dorie Baking Chez Moi When I told my husband about this recipe he joked, “you can’t mix apples and oranges”, well yes you can. I picked this recipe since my husband’s favorite recipe from Around My French Table is Gateau Basque. The crust, a little tricky to work with, is very forgiving and…

Sweet Potato and Marshmallow Pie Bars
Tuesdays with Dorie Out of the three desserts I have made this month for Tuesdays with Dorie this was by far my favorite. I did not grow up eating sweet potato pie so this was my first taste and I loved it. The base which is a little like Dorie’s sweet tart dough baked up…
Chocolate Cream Puffs with Mascarpone Filling
Tuesdays with Dorie Baking Chez Moi For this recipe I managed to get 23 cream puffs using a two teaspoon scoop. I think this worked in my favor as I was serving these for a crowd. I feared I would not have enough filling but I had exactly what I needed. I used dark chocolate…

Tuesdays with Dorie Dorie’s Cookies I host a friendsgiving every year. This year the magic date everyone was free was November 3rd, early in the month.

Bettelman
Tuesdays with Dorie Baking Chez Moi I have never heard of the dessert Bettelman but I do know bread pudding. This is France’s version of a bread pudding. Dorie says “Its texture falls somewhere between a cake and a pudding.” “…the egg whites are beaten until stiff and then folded into the mixture, so the…
Maple-Star Anise Cookies
Tuesdays with Dorie Dorie’s Cookies So if I named these cookies I would name them Orange-Star Anise Cookies. I couldn’t really taste the maple syrup. It is pretty hard to have maple shine through when orange rind and star anise are such strong flavors. We love sandwich cookies so I went that route. My husband…
