Back to work after a 2 month break in Europe, and feeling fully recharged!
Spending time with family and friends was wonderful!
Our escapades took us to various places in France and Italy. We enjoyed the cities, small villages, landscapes and of course the culinary delights from various regions! It was hard to make a selection but here are a few highlights of our trip!

2024 edition of the Epiphany organized by
at the alliance Française Minneapolis St Paul
We celebrated the tradition with la « Galette des Rois » (Kings galette)! A delicious puff pastry filled with a frangipane cream.
A heartfelt thank you to Aurélie for baking these scrumptious galettes and leading our small team in the kitchen while I was working on another project!
If you missed the event and would like to order a galette, we will be baking some more the week of January 15th for a pickup on January 18 (send us a direct message to order)
And if you’d like to learn how to make them, Aurélie will be teaching a class at the Alliance Française Minneapolis St Paul on January 9th.
