Eclairs mirabelle

Eclairs On My Mind

Everybody loves choux these days. At first I wasn’t a fan. Not until I tried choux with the modern, crunchy craquelin, which transformed choux buns and eclairs from soft and neutral to crumbly, textured and sweet.

Sticky Vanilla and Coconut Rice

It’s been a crazy week ten days. Totally crazy. Jennie and I are working hard on our dream project, and we’ve been off to a good start.

Poached Pears in Red Wine

There are some things that are so easy to make, and yet look and sound incredibly fancy.  Poached pears fit right into that category. With a bottle of Merlot and happy looking pears at hand, I set out to make some poached pears. Within minutes, the whole place was filled with the aroma of cinnamon […]
