my news? gnocchi week

Hello! My news? I am back populating this blog with recipes.  This week is gnocchi week.  And no, I did not stop cooking, more that I did not have the time to organise the photos and write up of the recipes.  Today baguettes and chicken liver pates are flying out the door.

And we are on chocolate hangover (for a few days at least) a bit before Easter due to family birthdays.

This one below was a trial from Pierre Herme’s book  “Le Larousse du Chocolat“.

It is an hazelnut daquoise (i.e.hazelnut meringue biscuit) with a rich chocolate filling.

Our finding: very good albeit in quite small quantities. The filling was too much chocolate to our taste. It looked good anyway!
