I know Garden of Eden [South End] is supposed to be lovely but your version certainly looks much cleaner, more inviting and welcoming.

Of course, I am not a fan of sweets and frou-frou things.

I am a Mauritian residing in Flroida. I miss my french pastries a lot and specially the Buche de Noel. I was looking for the origin of the logs when I came across your site. Thank you for helping me - I need this for my daughter’s school project.

Thank you Melissa! I had a look at the recipe and will be curious to hear your results with it. It always gives the cook a feeling of accomplishment when you bring la bûche de Noël on the table.

Thanks for posting this. I just watched a show today on Food
Network that featured the buche de Noel. I was inspired to try
one this year! I was curious about the origin of this tradition
so I went surfing the net looking for it and came across your blog.
I will have to check back to see what else you are posting. If
you want to see their log recipe here it is.

I quite like your latest entry-the part about logs per person is new to me.
Lovely dessert and although chocolate is divine, fun to experiment.

Lulu has a great recipe with fennel-
Baked Bream with Fennel pg. 156

We have done it a few times- very nice.
Get Bream from New Deal, our fish guy.

Thanks Bea!
