The Most Romantic Dessert for the Most Romantic Day


Bonsoir,

Valentine’s Day is tomorrow, and as a French woman, I feel it’s my duty to remind you that France is, obviously, the most romantic country in the world. And let’s not forget that French is la langue de l’amour—even our desserts are irresistible!

I am obviously joking as I don't want to start an argument with my husband who will dispute that Spanish is 😊. (we have 3 languages at home)

So, if you want to add a little je-ne-sais-quoi to your celebration, my Decadent French Chocolate Tart or Tarte au chocolat is the dessert you need to make. It’s rich, velvety, and effortless—just like true romance.

For this recipe, I walk you through the steps to make your own sweet pastry crust, you'll see, it is pretty easy.

Special ingredient of this recipe: a break! Moi aussi... It’s Thursday, I’m tired, and there’s another dinner to prepare. And as I write this? Frozen pizzas are in the oven. Because tonight, I just don’t have it in me and that’s okay. I used to think every meal had to be homemade, balanced, and just right. But you know what I’ve learned? Some nights, the best thing you can do is… not cook at all. Yes, we could push through, but—doesn’t our body and mind deserve a break? I think yes. Here’s...
