More puffs.......













One of my earliest recollection of French pastry was.... the classic marbled millefeuille!!  Din and Moira had the (good?) fortune to taste it last weekend during they trip over here.  Sorry for the rest of the guys, it should be consumed within a day for better taste!  Another variation is the hazelnut praline type.
Next, chocolate souffle with orange ice-cream, and a type of brioche popular in the south of France in replacement of northern France's King's cake, eaten during Epiphany, which you see here in a golden disc of puff pastry with crème frangipane (almond and pastry cream) -Pithivier.
