The first time I was trying to make pate brisee, I was scared to death. As I have told you before, I have a thing with dough, any dough for that matter. It is kind of awe, mixed with fear that I will be a total failure. It is the same feeling I had during...

Sticky Cinnamon Buns
This recipe caught my attention because it included two magic words to me: no knead, very fast. I am truly sorry, but I am a working mother and as much as I wanted to do complicated and sophisticated things, usually I do not have the luxury of time. My daily schedule is so full that,...

Old-Fashioned Chocolate Cake
Going back to my recipes I fell into this one. It really captured my attention, because it said old-fashioned. I did not know how old fashioned cake was in the States, so I thought I should give it a try, plus the fact that I have never made frosting in the past and I’ve seen...

Éclairs
Before I begin my posting, I must tell you that after completing this recipe, I felt really happy. Perhaps it is because, I consider, making such sweets, to be very demanding. Perhaps it is the fact that, I am totally self-taught and when I succeed in making such a venture, I believe that I can...

Chocolate Cake
I am sick. I have a bad cold. My throat aches and my nose is as red as a tomato. My husband is also sick. He is also having a fever. This is awful. The outside temperature is 27° C and we are sitting here wiping each other’s nose. Anyway, I hope by tomorrow, we...

Citrus Pulp Cake
As I was surfing through my favorite food blogs, I came across this cake. What intrigued me the most was the fact that, it contained whole boiled fruits. This was the first time I made a cake like this. The taste of lemon and orange is very intense in this cake. If you like these...
