Honey-nut squares
Fall is here with its share of comforting delights. I love nuts and I've probably come up with recipes mixing honey and nuts on my blog, but I always enjoy looking for new textures. Here, the dough resembles a shorbread, topped with a honey and semi-salted butter caramel, richly garnished with nuts. The texture is fantastic and these squares are very addictive! To be eaten in small portions...

Gluten and lactose free lemon almond cake
After this complicated period since the beginning of the year which unfortunately ended with what we feared (my previous post is quite explicit), I come back with an ultra simple recipe to make. I'm not gluten free or lactose free, considering the butter and flour I usually use! But from time to time, I find it interesting to look into it. I had tasted a similar cake and obviously wanted to make it again at home. The result is amazing and the softness incomparable! A great option when you're looking for a good recipe for your gluten-free or lactose-free friends, or for yourself to try out new textures.

Pistachio Lemon Cake
This time on my cooking blog, I propose a pistachio and lemon cake. Its texture is both rich and melting, soft and dense. I put a little lemon zest in the dough and bitter almond flavor. This gives a special flavor that highlights the pistachio. To finish, a fine icing covered with roasted pistachio powder that will keep this cake soft!

Homemade Honeycomb Silicone Mould
For those of you who own my book Scandalously Decadent, published by Flammarion last November, you may have noticed this recipe with a honeycomb wafer. I had mentioned that I would give the process on the blog, but I never found the time to do so. It's finally done! I'll tell you how I created my own heat-resistant, food-safe silicone mold to bake these pretty wafers in. Of course you can apply this method to other things than a bee frame! And for those who don't have it yet, the book is on sale at your local bookstore or online!

Bear's garlic pie
Last recipe with wild garlic for this year. At the moment I am publishing a little less, as I have just finished my 7th book which will be released in October 2021, and I also often go to Brittany with my family. This time I propose a tasty bear garlic pie, simple to make and very original. As soon as I can post a little more, I promise, I will! But you should know that I have a lot of new and amazing recipes in the next book.

Savoury bear garlic cake
A good friend gave me a huge bag of wild garlic freshly picked in the forest. Many thanks to Flore, I invite you to check out her Instagram page HERE! I took the opportunity to make three recipes, of which this is the first. I love wild garlic and it's not always easy to find it in stores. So I was over the moon to see what I could do with it. I propose you a very easy salted cake, with wild garlic, tomatoes and feta. Get your whips!

Chocolate, coffee, walnut and candied orange fondant
This is a very fondant cake, with nuts, coffee, chocolate and candied orange. The whole thing goes together beautifully. I also add a creamy dark chocolate ganache. The retro look reminds me of the cakes in the cookbooks I grew up with, but I like simple decorations every now and then, where only the taste matters. Plus, this cake is naturally gluten-free!

Milk chocolate, hazelnut and pine nut shortbread
Big, crispy shortbread with lots of milk chocolate, pine nuts and hazelnut powder. A real irresistible delicacy in my eyes. One will suffice. You can also slice them and freeze them raw, then cook them to order.

Spiral Marbled Shortbread
Funny shortbread with a nice spiral shape, all without any special utensil. You will shape them by hand. It's a bit of work and you'll probably start over several times to get a nice design. But it's pretty fun to do, especially if you want to introduce your kids to cooking. And what's more, they will be very good!

Jeannette's Hazelnut Cinnamon Spritz
This is the time of year to cook up some goodies in preparation for the holidays. A little while ago, I saw a picture of the shortbread from one of my Facebook friends. She shared lots of beautiful cakes, including these amazing, randomly shaped spritzers. I loved it right away. Delphine immediately agreed to share with us her recipe which is the one of her grandmother Jeannette. I really like their unusual look that makes you want to bite into them. A delight with a good hot chocolate, tea or coffee!
