Culinary Challenge Week 24

Oh man! I knew French cooking would be fantastic, but I didn’t realize how absolutely amazing it was going to be. Without further ado, here is French Week.

Honey Brioche Bread 100 out of 10

Umm this is probably my favorite bread ever- it’s flaky, buttery crescent roll layers just got better and better as the days progressed. It tastes amazing with soup, jam and of course all by itself! (And as you will see later it makes great French Toast as week)

French Onion Soup 10 out of 10

I also think this may be my favorite soup ever! This is absolutely fantastic! I literally could eat it every day and not grow tired of it.

Croissants 1000 out of 10

I did it!!!! I made buttery, fluffy, heavenly croissants!!! I laminated the dough and everything! I am so, so, so, so, so proud. And yes they were totally worth the work of two days. And I would do it again in a heart beat.

Ratatouille 10 out of 10

Not the first time I have made this veggie delight(my mom and I used to make it often) and it will definitely not be the last. I was fortunate to use veggies I bought at the local farmers market. Making to taste infinitely better.

Pumpkin Spice Soufflé 8 out of 10

If I was scoring this dish from a technical standpoint I would say I did an amazing job! And while

Pumpkin Spice French Toast 8 out of 10

Yes Deuxie thought the French toast it was good too! Made for a very yummy Monday morning.

Yummy!
Pumpkin Pecan Madeleines 8 out of 10

These were the perfect balance of nutty goodness and sweetness. I could make madeleines all the time. These delicate French pastries were a huge hit with everyone who tried them.

French Market Salad 8 out of 10

A very yummy and easy to make salad. Would make again for sure.

French Hot Chocolate 9 out of 10

And we finished the week off with a very sweet and rich treat one chilly fall night. We both agreed we could get used to finishing everyday with a pipping hot cup of French Hot chocolate.

And that is it! It was a beautiful and delicious week. I am going to say it again… Probably my favorite week so far. (Lol) So I am out of town this next week and therefore will not be cooking. Just digesting and remembering French Week.

Lots of love,

Tally
