Best reward ever!👨🏼‍🍳🙏

Hi Francois,
Ida and I (from yesterday's class) just wanted to send you this picture of our first attempt at making macarons. We used an Oreo cheesecake filling. Thank you for the great tips, it made the whole baking process a lot easier.
Thank you!
From Ida and Hannah

Have you heard of the Baba dessert? Baba is a classic and traditional pastry made with a soft brioche dough, which is then soaked in a light syrup, usually flavored with brown rum (although it can be replaced with other alcohols, like limoncello, as I did today). A few seasonal fruits and chantilly, and that’s it!👨🏼‍🍳🇫🇷😋👌

A Taste of Alsace: The Iconic Kugelhopf 🇫🇷

Have you ever tasted a Kugelhopf? This beloved Alsatian cake is more than just a recipe, it’s a centuries-old tradition!
Soft, lightly sweet, studded with raisins and almonds, and baked in its beautiful fluted mould, Kugelhopf is enjoyed at breakfast, afternoon tea, or with a glass of Alsace wine.

In Alsace, every family has its own version, passed down through generations and there’s nothing quite like the aroma of a freshly baked Kugelhopf filling the kitchen.😋

✨ Le Saint-Honoré : Le Roi des Desserts Français ✨
Today I made a Saint Honoré, the patron saint of bakers and pastry chefs, the Saint-Honoré is one of the most iconic and elegant desserts in French pâtisserie a true celebration of craftsmanship, texture, and indulgence.
Here’s what makes it so special:
A crispy puff-pastry base
Golden, delicate, and buttery, the foundation of the dessert.
A crown of choux pastry
Small cream-filled choux are dipped in caramel for that perfect shine and crunch. They form a ring around the base, giving the dessert its unmistakable look.
The famous Chiboust cream
A light, airy cream made from pastry cream and Italian meringue, silky, cloud-like, and absolutely irresistible.
Caramel & whipped cream
A final touch of whipped cream (traditionally piped in spirals with a Saint-Honoré tip) adds height, elegance, and pure indulgence.
The result?
A dessert that is crisp, creamy, airy, and caramelized, a harmony of textures that makes the Saint-Honoré one of the most loved pastries in France.
So yummy. 🇫🇷💛

The Alsace region may not be the most famous in France, nor as well-known as Provence or the French Riviera, but it is one of the top regions for its culinary traditions and experiences. From mid-November through December, families prepare Bredeles, some using secret recipes passed down through generations. In my family, despite living far from our homeland, we still cherish this special moment to make these delicious treats. Other traditional delights await, such as the Manala on December 6th, celebrated with Saint Nicholas, the patron saint of children.
