Gâteau au Yaourt, Mascarpone et Framboises, coulis de FramboisesRaspberry and Mascarpone Yogurt Cake, Raspberry coulis I know no one around me who does not have a sweet memory linked to yogurt cake made with his/her mum or his/her Granny.

Panna Cotta Framboises, Litchis et RoseRaspberry, Litchi and Rose Panna Cotta This is not exactly the recipe I wanted to share today. Actually, it was supposed to be a panna cotta, but topped with a decadent orange and passion fruit compote, recipe of Pierre Hermé. But, to my big surprise and disappointment, I could not find passion fruits in my local market. In order to keep my recipe with a Pierre Hermé’s touch, I have decided to make a Ispahan version with raspberries, litchis and... [Lire la suite]
