Simple et traditionnel – Flans de semoule au caramel   Some people call this gâteau, it’s more like a flan to me than a cake, no matter how you call it, this is a very traditional French dessert.

My two favorites fruits are in season, and I only wait for summer to come, just to indulge in juicy peaches, nectarines, and apricots. My friend Simon in France asked me why I was [...]

Coppa di fragole, con crema al mascarpone e coulis di lamponi I was not sure how to translate coppa in English other than use the word cup…I am pretty sure there is a more accurate word for it…but nothing better came to my mind. I realized today that my English is getting worse while we were at a [...]
