What a busy couple of months it's been! Over the past couple of months I had a great time testing (& tasting!) new recipes and I can't wait to share them with all of you.
Ok, so back to business!
A couple of days ago I made some pretty badass croissants/pain au chocolat from Thomas Keller's Bouchon Bakery. I encourage you to break out your French butter, rolling pin, and flour, and patience (this is key…trust me, folks) because it will be soooooo worth it in the end.

Oh yeah!!!!!!!!! Last month I visited my family in New York, which meant a trip to Dominique Ansel Bakery. I still cannot believe I visited! You have no idea! This man is my inspiration! And yes, the 2 hour wait for the Cronut™ was so worth it. If you're ever in Soho, check out Mr. Ansel's place, s'il vous plait.

We got there around 7 am. Soho is so charming in the morning |
