Funnily enough, nine out of ten people really like chocolate and the tenth one according one theory is a liar. After all, who [...]The post The easiest chocolate cake you’ll ever make appeared first on Gourmantine's Blog.
Coq au beer
In case you?re wondering, I didn?t misspell the title of the post. The fusion of French and English was very much on purpose.

Le Goûter
There are still rest a couple of hazelnut bags in my cupboard and the orange season has not yet given way to colourful berries of the spring. So much choice of what can be done with the beautiful ingredients at hand, yet few options can warm a heart like a luscious cake. I call it [...]
Sweet beets
?Your assumptions are your windows on the world. Scrub them off every once in a while, or the light won’t come in.? – Isaac Asimov I believe we most of us (all?) have memories of eating certain foods which may have inflicted long term damage to opening eyes and taking a creative and unbiased [...]
Hazelnut time
?Training is everything. The peach was once a bitter almond; cauliflower is nothing but cabbage with a college education.?
