Sugar Crust
I love this Sugar Crust (pâte sucrée) because it is so versatile and easy to use. Roll it out quickly to make a pie crust or cookies. If you like making individual tarts; buy yourself a mini tart pan and use this Sugar Crust dough to make tartlets. Fill them […]
Chicken Liver Pâté
My love affair with Chicken Liver Pâté began when I was a child. My parents enjoyed eating at French restaurants; and often took my brother and me with them. It was at those restaurants that my love of pâté began. It was such a treat to be served a slice […]
