| Caramelized Puffs |
Inspired by Royals | Lorde Want a little bit of general truth? It’s fucking freezing. Want some more? Everybody likes cream puffs, and they are easy to make! So yes, it’s simple, whenever you come home pissed off, caught in a wintery depression you can either go down and eat shit or you can take care of […]
| Eton Mess |
Inspired by Strawberry Fields Forever (cover)| The Beatles As soon as the sun makes it appearance during winter after a long absence some start getting excited and see spring on the corner. Calm down : we still have to survive through february and march! Nevertheless, I don’t wanna be a party pooper. I just came back from […]
| Passionbread men |
Inspired by La Redécouverte | Yann Tiersen Gingerbread Men are for sure delicious but pretty boring. As the holidays approach we find them everywhere we go… I had this idea of rediscovering this holiday classic improvising with daring ingredients : try them out without spices but with passion fruit instead !

| Double Chocolat & Raspberries Fondant |
Inspired by Over and Over | Hot Chip This recipe is the result of many failed attempts at that traditional “6 pack Summer Project”. You’ll soon understand why. We’ve all tried many different kinds of gooey fondants – some really are melt in the middle ones, others are just brownies disguised by a fancy name. However […]
| Brigadeiros (do Brasil) |
Inspired by Brasileirinho | Ramilson Maia Remix They’re actually just called brigadeiros, but I know how much you love (& we brazilians hate) saying “do brasioou”. Let’s delve into the history of the brigadeiro whilst listening to the drum and bass version of the great classic Brasileirinho remixed by Ramilson Maia. According to legend several versions exist but everything seems to […]
