Easy Bouillabaisse Soup Recipe
 |
The most famous fish stew of the Mediterranean is bouillabaisse, and its home is considered to be Marseilles, although it is made in every little port throughout the coastal regions of Provence. The word bouillabaisse was used in France as a term expressing the rapidity of the cooking of seafood in a stew with an unique flavoring derived from saffron, fennel seeds, and orange zest. |
French Macaroons
 |
Macaroons have been in the news lately or perhaps it was just me obsessing about them and seem to notice them everywhere. I believe it was Marie to blame, in the recent Marie Antoinette movie (starring Kirsten Dunst), where she indulged in these nutty, chewy morsels while sipping champagne or tea during her numerous splurges and living ‘la vie’. But whatever the reason, I set out to have my own little delectable feast so I decided to hunt down the perfect recipe to make these pretty cream-filled almond cookies. |

These ‘Time Crackers‘ are in honor of the Alice in Wonderland’s White Rabbit who always seem to be in a hurry and continuously mumbling: “I’m late, I’m late, for a very important date. No time to say “Hello.” Goodbye. I’m late, I’m late, I’m late”.

My daughter loved turning the apple peeler crank and seeing the tool automatically peel, slice and core the apples in a spiral. She gets a kick out of it and I get some help with making dessert! |
