Crème brulée
Crème brûlée (burned cream) is quite easy to prepare: it's a simple egg-cream dessert. The only difficulty is in making the delicious crunchy caramel layer on top. The perfect crème brulée (for me) is a cold and soft cream, with on top a nice hot caramel crust. This is a completely new version of the former recipe, with video.

Fruit salad
To make a good fruit salad, there are three important points:- Choose fruits that go well together (avoid putting soft pears with crunchy apples for example).
- Remove absolutely all skins and seeds.
- Bring it all together with a good home made sugar syrup added to the fruit juices.
