Once in a while, I like to go through the kitchen cabinets and rediscover my kitchen tools and get inspired to bake. These madeleines au matcha were the result of yet another (re)-discovery episode Continue reading

Saint Pierre can be affordable

On weekdays, Saint Pierre offers good value set lunches comprising of either two, three or four courses, with prices ranging between an unbelievable $28 to $45.
