Butter Free - Choux a la Creme

Butter had been short these recent months. I was wondering what sweets I can make without using butter and there I found a recipe using olive oil instead; choux a la creme!

I forgot to buy fresh cream so served with vanilla icecream. Cocoa powder can hide their irregular shapes. It can be replaced with a frost of icing sugar.

Mother's day

A present for Mother's Day. I did not have any idea as usual till I passed by Decadence du

Chocolat in Shibuya to see a friend who works there. As a chocolate lover, I could spend hours in this shop glancing at chocolates surrounded by a bitter sweet smell... There, a lovely box made from chocolate (plus, containing 6 pieces of gorgeous chocolates...) jumped in my sight. It was a special box for Mother's Day and decided to buy one.

It took a while for my parents to realize that the whole thing was made of chocolate and that it was edible. I wonder when would they break the box and finish them all...
