Lee, I very much appreciate the kind words – they mean a lot. A lot of work goes into these recipes, so it’s nice to know they’re doing what I’ve intended for them

Thank you so much for the support, Alastair. Between the book and this blog you’ll find countless recipes of interest, if you’re into rustic French cuisine. Hope you enjoy!

Thank you so much for the kind words! Sorry to hear about the cheese twists, and I wonder if slightly pressing the shredded gruyere onto the pastry before twisting would have helped. Many premade sheets are already “sticky” by nature which helps the cheese stick (and some falls off too which makes for a crispy bottom), but perhaps your sheet was well floured so the cheese didn’t stick? Just a guess!

You’re very welcome, Lisa. I am so glad my recipes have found their way into your home and I hope you get to continue enjoying them in the New Year. Thank you for the support!

Chelsey, oh how I love me some buckwheat chocolate chip cookies… And I can honestly say I just made some a few days ago, and they disappeared very quickly. I hope you and your family can continue enjoying these cookies, and hopefully some other recipes as well in the New Year. Take care and thanks again!

This made me smile, Heba! Thank you so much for the very sweet words, and I am honored that I got to open your mind (and tastebuds) to French cuisine. Happy New Year!

So happy to hear this, much appreciated. Everyone has their own little take on French recipes, so I’m glad this one stoked a wonderful memory for you. I am also so happy to hear that the Apple Cake turned out well even with a reduced amount of sugar. Enjoy!
