I'm in awe of Julia's talent, and she/you have just inspired me to try again!

I got a kick out of your mentioning the kouign amann. A French bakery near us in Queens is run by a pastry chef who was born in Brittany. He refuses to bake it in the summer because he’s a stickler for a crispy sugar crusting and it’s too humid here to Cleo Coylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15557517506340986862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309470395783938361.post-52264788899523815662016-08-21T16:20:47.601-04:002016-08-21T16:20:47.601-04:00Making puffed pastry is so time consuming and havi...Making puffed pastry is so time consuming and having to keep refrigerating it is a pain so in my older years I now buy frozen Phyllo sheets and for mini tarts I buy the little puffed tart shells, and that just has to be good enough. People eat them so fast that I really don't think it matters that the dough is bought. I love to make Baklava so that is why I started making my own, but with ceblainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16192522179238414380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309470395783938361.post-80002982295815020192016-08-21T13:01:24.175-04:002016-08-21T13:01:24.175-04:00I made croissants once back in college.

This week, I was able to eat a croissant at the Park Ave Bakery in Helena that inspired the fictional bakery in my Food Lovers' Village series, and I'm always sniffing and peering at what's going on, so curious. Thanks for the inside view -- and what fun to catch a glimpse of your daughter!Leslie Budewitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11942314846112875042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309470395783938361.post-3090437742446804552016-08-21T10:28:31.517-04:002016-08-21T10:28:31.517-04:00Tell Julia I said hi!

I made the mistake of trying to make my own Danish with a misnamed "easy" recipe. I won't bother with that again! Some things are just better left to bakeries!Kristahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11002970043709820868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309470395783938361.post-15693403099982176602016-08-21T09:56:26.360-04:002016-08-21T09:56:26.360-04:00What a lot of work, but what a marvelous end produ...What a lot of work, but what a marvelous end product!<br />Wish her goodies were nearby.Libby Doddhttp://www.libbydoddart.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309470395783938361.post-62144226951275581032016-08-21T09:13:31.673-04:002016-08-21T09:13:31.673-04:00Fascinating! thanks.
