Caroline Mignot - L’atelier de Beurre

Yesterday I went to butter class 

L’atelier de beurre s’il vous plaît with Caroline Mignot. I got lucky 🍀 and won 🏆 a place.  Caroline is a delightful instructor. She is an expert at sharing the complexity of French flavors. She is, after all from Nantes, a vrai Nantais.

What I ate this week in Paris

 

Last night I did more dessert research 🔬 with Joyce (visiting from New York)

On Profiteroles. Joyce got a choux Chantilly, a simpler version sans sauce chocolat noir et glace 🍨 vanille.

Profiteroles I have eaten, Chez Clément Montparnasse

Last night with PBers Nicole & DeeAnn we had profiteroles for dessert 

At Cafe Varenne.

We left a little bit on the plate, the way you are supposed to in France 🇫🇷 OK not much 🙄
