A recipe by Prisca Leclerc. I was totally taken while looking at Prisca preparing this wonderful dessert. The smooth movements of caramelizing the apples, and the texture of it, made me even more eager to wait and see the final result. So happy to have this opportunity to share this recipe with you. WHATCH THE…

Feeding Bébé .. Yeah right!
There is this expression in French “la pomme ne tombe pas loin de l’arbre” which neatly translates to “The Apple doesn’t fall far from the tree”. As a parent, once I came to term with the fact that my picky eaters were probably just taking after me, it made it much easier to relate to them and…
Nostalgia, Shakshuka and a French Loaf
February is here… Around this time I usually start to feel a bit homesick. The winter stretches to no end, and our spring trip to France feels still far away… Luckily on the way from work I can stop by Anton & Anton and shop around for “fancier” ingredients to spice up the daily routine.

Delicious Quiches
As a rule of thumb, one should always have a few ready-made savory pies pastries in the freezer. Yes sure, it’s as nice to make your own, but by all mean, no one will ever know the difference so think twice because by the time they are defrosted, you can prepare the filling & get your oven to the…
