Considering how often I’ve eaten this week’s French Fridays with Dorie recipe, Cherry Clafoutis, it’s rather a wonder that I’ve never made it before myself. This dessert was quite the hit in my family some years ago and was made … Continue reading →

breton strawberry shortcake

Posted on 20/06/2013 by oneexpatslife

I have a love-hate relationship with German Sundays. On the one hand, I love the fact that all of the shops are closed and one is rather forced to take the day off and relax. Seriously, you couldn’t run errands … Continue reading →
