When I first saw the photo I thought this was a very bacon forward recipe! Looks delicious and can't wait to make it when I'm on a break from the post-holiday baking diet!

Hi Susan,

I had an epic fail with tempering chocolate and thought I had remembered you sharing a video demo. Is that somewhere in your archives? Thank you!!

Just search for it. Most recent version was with the Ginger Date Hobnobs. I have not done a video yet, but maybe I should. What went wrong? It takes a little practice but it helps if you know what to look for.

Thank you! Will search…

I would love a video on tempering.

I am determined to succeed at madeleines dipped in tempered valrhona Dulcey. The cakes were supposed to pop right out of the pan after ten minutes in the freezer.

Not only did I waste perfectly baked madeleines, but 225 grams of good chocolate as well. 😑

I had batter left over and tried again today without success.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated!!

These look so delicious and after making your caramelized onion galette twice during the month of January, I know we will be trying this recipe! Would leaving the bacon out be a problem when cooking for vegetarians? Thank you.

Not at all. Just skip that step and cook the leeks in olive oil. (about 2 tablespoons).

Looks delicious. Leek tutorial is locked 🔒 so mine will likely be gritty 😉

These look great, thanks! I’m not a pastry maker (love cooking) but told myself I would try making pastry and bread in 2024.

It's really not difficult! This forgiving dough is a great place to start!
