And I made a few culinary trips :

To Brazil

++ Pão de queijo

To South-East-Asia

To Sweden

To France’s countryside :

I experimented a few pretty desserts :

apple pastis

pon de rin and millefeuilles

Croustade ou pastis, apples in froufrou

Some call it pastis, others say croustade, and it’s the prettiest apple pie.

The apples are longly macerated in rum and vanilla…

Isn’t it cute ? And it’s too delicious to take many photos…

And with cuts bits of dough, and leftover apple, there is a next day party :

A l’Est : la pichade

Pizza ? Nearly. It’s a red pissaladiere.
You have seen the white version last week. Then I wanted a red one.

If you love tomato, onions and bread, that’s the best thing under the sun and on the beach.

It’s little name is pichade (say “peesha”).

You can’t see the anchovies. They melt in the sauce.

I love the crust, so I trimmed it all around… later I reheated that square.
