Bonjour Friends!
Popping in mid-week on a sunny Bordeaux morning to share some tasty berry spring baking recipes with you. Warmer weather caught me by surprise this year with the 70F degree days in early March along with discovering fresh strawberries at the river market. Pretty sure its still freezing in Chicago. I even wore shorts to the park yesterday despite my new French surroundings, but tried to disguise myself as a runner. I think it worked.
As berry season approaches with full ‘printemps’ (spring) in swing, I hope you’ll enjoy these approachable fruit forward bakes.
If you’re not a fruit enthusiast, try my French Madeleine Recipe and dip a few in your coffee or tea.
Bisou!
