Petite leçon de cheesecake
Petite leçon de cheesecake Aujourd’hui, point de recette mais un concept. Vous avez noté que je frôle l’obsession avec les cheesecake… Parfois je me demande s’il ne faudrait pas que je me fasse soigner ! ;) Mais c’est comme ça : j’ai toujours de nouvelles idées, de nouvelles envies… et comme mes amis sont généralement d’excellents cobayes en matière de cheesecake, qu’ils vont jusqu’à m’en demander « Encore ! En fait, le truc, c’est que le cheesecake, une fois que l’on a compris le concept, c’est déclinable à l’infini. Ce que je veux dire c’est que l’on n’a pas besoin de recette en tant que tel pour faire un cheesecake : il faut juste les notions de base et l’imagination du moment… Ce post sera sans doute inutile pour les personnes qui ont déjà fait un cheesecake et qui maîtrisent la recette, mais comme je reçois régulièrement des mails-questions au sujet des cheesecake... ça servira peut-être à ceux qui souhaitent se lancer... Préambule : Cheesecake, qu’est ce que c’est ? Le Saint Môret®.

Homemade Graham Crackers
It's not that I make everything our family eats from scratch, but I do try to make as many of the sweet treats my kids eat as possible. I recently realized that Kenya had never eaten a graham cracker before. How is that possible?! Graham crackers are like a total cookie rite of passage for kids! It's not that I'm against pre-packaged cookies or crackers (I've definitely bought a few boxes in the past two years), but it's so much more fun to make them with your kids.
