Oh my. I will definitely make these while here on the island. I will need just a few things when going shopping on next island for groceries. Wow. I can't wait. Merci
Merci beaucoup for all your recipes! Your tarte aux poivrons looks absolutely adorable! (I love spicy food…) 😋 Would you recommend to put some garlic in?
That is blatant click bait. I was expecting to see some actual French tarts, you know, frilly dresses up over the head and all that. Cheers fron Down Under❤🐨❤🐨❤🐨
