  1. Nutella and an apple crepe for desserts
  2. Ham, egg and cheese for @Alleguede - chicken with creamed mushrooms for me - really crispy crepes
  3. Petite Bretonne - cider to start
  4. some pics from salon
  5. I might just add the 1% at a temperature lower than 33.5 and add the rest melted as you usually do. Although a little experimentation is clearly in order. The silk will temper the ganache as long as it's not too hot when added. You'll be able to cut sooner if it's a slab and back off very quickly if it's a piped piece.
  6. Yup - foie, rillettes and cheese with bread and Sauternes - life rarely gets better than this!
  7. Went back to venue and got more stuff done - then back home to enjoy our purchases There's baguette and Pouline bread to spread it all on
  8. I was thinking that today - nothing as exciting as the mixing bowl this time!
  9. It's everywhere! Half of the stuff that is there for demo purposes is bloomed - you would think they would change it regularly so it always looked pristine.
  10. Looking at that bloom - I would be embarrassed to offer these. What to do with all those molds that no one can sell anymore. Not just in Brussels!
  11. Chateau des d'Yquem and Chateau de Fargues - years back to 2006 - anywhere from 150 Euro to 950 Euro. The one in question was a Kenwood. And it says it can do to 180º C.
  12. Lunch at the food hall was outrageously priced - so we found a bistro croque monsieur for @Alleguede confit lamb shank for me - this needs to be done at home!
  13. The other food hall made in Canada! In US section
  14. Tried to figure out what was on the windows - @Alleguede recognized it as DNA
  15. This was the point at which the owner told me no pictures
  16. Out and about
  17. Same one @curls linked to above. @Alleguede and I were discussing the whole MOF thing as we walked yesterday - there are a lot of politics involved - some of the younger chefs are saying 'why bother' these days. 2007 saw the first female MOF ever, 2015 the second. Old Boys Club since 1924!
  18. It's the brand. Voatsiperifery (the wild Madagascar) pepper is just plain fabulous. I picked up a kilo of it several years ago and I use it where I want a complex floral pepper flavour. Mostly for a ganache and in various barks to replace other black pepper.
  19. Here and there - when I see it I buy it. I've seen it in clearance outlets, Marilu's market in Burlington carries it regularly. Damn you autocorrect - it's Cedarvale.
  20. I like the Cedardale horseradish here in Canada
  21. For some reason my answer didn't post - indeed I believe they were all savoury - but not sure what was what. Now my posts seem to have reappeared - sorry I've answered this twice.
  22. It was very good!
  23. We stopped in a boulangerie and picked up a baguette, then the grocery store for some foie, rillets, cheese and sauterne. Don't think we will be eating it anytime soon - still stuffed from everything else we ate and it's now 10:30 at night. Our counts today were only 17, 635 steps for 11.2 km and 17 flights of stairs - felt like more!
  24. I believe those ones were all savoury.
  25. Immediately upon leaving the place we had stuffed ourselves at lunch - we hit Yann Couvreur (the fox place). We tried their Kouign Aman (not great sadly) Mille feuille (recipe here) And profiteroles.
