The end of 2018 and the start of 2019 saw a new trend rising in the pastry world – going back to the roots of pastry, using the best ingredients available and focusing more on quality and not quantity. I saw viennoiserie rise incredibly, but I also saw pastry chefs bringing baking more into their…
French Desserts
French Desserts for thos loving the French cuisine.
{Chocolate Eclairs} – Eclere cu ciocolata
If there is anything that my little family loves a lot in terms of flavor, that has to be chocolate! Chocolate in any shape or form is always a hit! So much that they prefer to eat a tablet if they don’t have a dessert that they like more! So from time to time I…
