Valentine’s Day Noms!

By André on 6th March, 2010 | No Comments

I finally got some time to post about the treats I made for Valentine’s Day. It began with two types of brownies: first, some square shapes brownies, with chocolate–espresso ganache, and the second are über moist heart shaped brownies. Next, I put on my chocolatier hat for the first time to make very simple chipotle-sea salt chocolates. The only molds I had were hearts and plus signs! I also made yummy heart–shaped sugar cookies. I frosted some, and used sugar crystals on others. I completed the day with homemade oreos, which were fun and easy to make.

Nuit De Français

We had an impromptu French themed night! It began with French onion soup, followed by my own quiche recipe and boeuf au vin. It ended with Pow Pow’s proud attempt of chocolate strawberry macarons.
