Encore, s'il vous plait

Comeback


 After a two year hiatus, I'm ready to start posting again, except this time I might open the scope to beyond Indian cuisine.  I have in the meantime married my beautiful Tunisian/second generation French wife in the last year and now have a greater appreciation of the two cuisines.  Hopefully I can show you why!  Starting with some pictures of this French dessert, called fraisier.  My mother-in-law made this delicious cake during a visit and it was incredible from presentation to the last bite.



Fraisier cake
Although this cake is far too advanced for me as I have no real skills in baking other than licking the spatula clean, I will hopefully show you an easy creme brulee recipe and maybe my wife will be willing to share her recipe for canelĂ©, a Bordeaux specialty.  It's no wonder France is at the center of the culinary world when it comes to desserts!
