Vanilla Mango Panna Cotta
I love mango and think everything goes with mango but sadly my family does not share my love affair with this fruit. This week on Tuesdays with Dorie we are making Vanilla Mango Panna Cotta on page 370 of Baking Chez Moi. I have never had or made a panna cotta before so this was all…
Apricot Raspberry Tart
When voting time came up on Tuesdays with Dorie, I wanted to make all the recipes with summer fruit. I just love summer and its bounty of fresh fruit. The group voted for Apricot Raspberry Tart page 145 from Baking Chez Moi. Dorie’s Sweet Tart Dough is flawless and I can get it to come…
Strawberry Shortcakes Franco-American Style
One of the great things about being part of a baking group is that I do not need to think about what to make for the next holiday. I informed my husband we were having strawberry shortcakes for Father’s Day. The only decision he had to make was plain or roasted strawberries. He went with…
Chocolate-Cherry Brownies
Brownies, dark chocolate, dried cherries what’s not to like? Our baking assignment this week on Tuesdays with Dorie, chocolate-cherry brownies from Baking Chez Moi page 322.

Crispy-Topped Brown Sugar Bars
This week on Tuesdays with Dorie we are making Crispy-Topped Brown Sugar Bars (page 324) from Baking Chez Moi. Dorie’s cookbook states “This is what Rice Krispies Treats would have been had they been born in France.” My son still likes the original the best. Dorie gave the option of making caramelized Rice Krispies (page 428)…
Pink Grapefruit Tart
This week on Tuesdays with Dorie we are making Pink Grapefruit Tart page 138 from Baking Chez Moi. I voted for this one because my husband loves grapefruit and I thought it sounded different.
