The apron of Grand’ Ma

Posted by Mr. Frog Wednesday, March 10, 2010 0 comments

An apron was primarily used by Grandmas to protect their dress, and in many cases was transformed into gloves to remove hot pans from the oven. Their apron helped wipe children’s tears and in certain circumstances, cleaned their faces.
From henhouses, an apron was used to carry eggs, revive chicks and sometimes carried cracked eggs that were immediately cooked on the stove.

The "unmissable" Cheese Soufflé

Posted by Mr. Frog Thursday, March 4, 2010 0 comments


Soufflés have always incredibly intimidated me. I have always been, you know, that kind of woman who did not like to take risks when cooking for her friends, always making "safe bets" so as not to disappoint her guests...and herself ! Soufflés, a "hit or miss" ?? Me, never ! And the worst part is, as you need to cook and serve them at the very last minute, when you realize that your soufflé is as flat as a pancake, it is too late and you feel very very frustrated ...
But things have changed and after having read a special issue of "Saveurs" Magazine on savoury and sweet soufflés, I felt adventurous and decided to make a 3-cheese soufflé. see following
