What is your favorite dessert? Mine is Crème brûlée. Image then you launch search in your city for restaurants which make such a delight and endeavor to review to each other the delightful dessert on a different date each week. Once you have fully exhausted the area restaurants make that delight in your own home and strive to mimic or better the recipe! Please feel free to invite me over to sample any Crème brûlée. That creamy, pudding-like, baked custard with a brittle top of melted sugar that cracks when you gently tap it with a spoon in my Achilles heel!
