Terroirs

October 28th, 2010 l Posted in Evenings Out, Girl Thursday Posts

Terroirs is in a great spot for all kinds of reasons. Bang in the heart of London near Trafalgar Square, but sufficiently tucked away down a little side-street.

Macaroons – again (sorry)

April 30th, 2010 l Posted in Gifts, Girl Thursday Posts, Home Entertaining

I swear that I’m not on a commission from the Great Macaroon Foundation.  It’s just that I love them and since I wrote last year about giving them as a hostess gift, I’ve had so many faithful Trufflers asking me for the recipe. I made them again recently and that reminded me to commit the recipe to Trufflebox.
