Everything about this cookie dough makes us happy: roasty, toasty notes from the browned butter, rich Hazelnut flavor and a satisfying salty crunch from Sel Gris. Whip up a batch or two and tuck it in the freezer. It’s the perfect base of lots of mix-ins…dark chocolate chips, toffee bits, crushed malted milk balls or walnuts. The possibilities...
This compote might be quick and easy on the front end, but it's rich and complex on the spoon.

Strawberries can be a bit of our tough customer when it comes to getting their flavor to shine in cold desserts.

In our adaptation of Dorie Greenspan’s beloved cookies, we used a slightly heavier hand on the salt. Dorie tells a wonderful story of her neighbor who after eating one of the chocolate shortbread cookies surmised that if everyone had one of these treats, there would be world peace. We agree.

This traditional cake is taught by French grandmothers to their grandchildren. It’s a simple recipe that young, novice cooks can easily navigate. Adorable yogurt “pots” are the measuring device. It’s a one-bowl, stir-and-bake cake that’s simply delicious. We’ve included a darling illustration from French Studio for a great visual guide. We’ve also listed both the...
We love this cake for dessert – or breakfast! Pure Vanilla Extract, Pure Almond Extract and Orange Blossom Water all work to pull all the subtle flavors from the honey and almonds.
