French food alphabet advent calendar |
Welcome to my French Food
Alphabet Advent Calendar. Between now and Christmas Day I will be working my
way through a selection of delicious food posts; some will be regional
specialities, some are my personal favourite foods, some posts will include
recipes, but all will be linked to French food and drink. I hope you enjoy your
virtual tastings.
It’s the 2nd December
and B is for Bûche de Noel
The bûche de noel
or yule log is a traditional French Christmas dessert. It is a genoise sponge
that is filled, rolled and iced with chocolate buttercream and decorated to
look like a log. I gave this a go a few years ago and if you fancy a chuckle
you can read all about it here, let’s just say it wasn’t as easy as I thought but at least anything covered in chocolate always tastes good.
If you missed my previous
post you can catch up with A here. Don’t forget to pop back tomorrow for the
letter C, it’s going to be one of my favourite treats.
