Gaston Lenôtre

Pages dedicated to Gaston Lenôtre, the famouse French pastry chef, who sadly died in 2009, and who taught many of the best pastry chefs around today. Unshakable master of old style patisserie, I learned all the basics from his 3 books, especially the first one "Make your own patisseries", see the best addresses page, in the books section.

Hervé This

How can we talk about cooking without mentioning chemistry professor Hervé THIS ? Impossible of course... If you want to understand what's going on in your pan or your oven while you cook, understand what a mayonnaise or a Chantilly cream is, find out whether you should (or not) salt meat BEFORE cooking, then you should read his blog.

Hervé and chef Pierre Gagnaire are associated in a real friendship. You can find explanations by the chemist alongside recipes by the chef on Pierre Gagnaire's website.

Blogs

Whit's blog

See how Whit's write, so well, about coooking and DIY on her blog: Amuse Bouche (cute name n'est ce pas?).

Annie's recipes

I like Annie's blog for the recipes and content of course, but also for her description of "special operations" like pyramid of macaroons. Don't forget to see the kitchen photos, the sink is gorgeous.
