La petite tornade: March 2010
http://frenchtornado.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
My friend's 2 year old daughter has a higher sensitivity to gluten and dairy but also has a sweet tooth, knowing that I have modified a recipe I had to accommodate her restrictions and it was a hit. Now every time she visits she asks: "il y a du gâteau? Gâteau noix de coco - Coconut cake. A 9" / 23 cm square silicon mould. 4 Tbsp coconut flour. Vanilla bean paste (a little goes a long way). Whisk egg yolks, sugar and vanilla until mix becomes whiter. Add 2 Tbsp coconut flour. Add remaining coconut flour.

La petite tornade: Gluten free, dairy free, egg free bread
http://frenchtornado.blogspot.com/2010/01/gluten-free-dairy-free-egg-free-bread.html
Gluten free, dairy free, egg free bread. When looking for gluten free breads it seems there is always eggs and milk added, to me these ingredients mean making a cake not a bread, so I decided to try creating a new GF bread without eggs or dairy and the final product turned out really nice and tasty, like real gluten bread. The bread got eaten before I had time to take a picture! Gluten free, dairy free, egg free bread. 15 gr Flax seed grounded to a fine flour (it is better than buying it already grounded).

La petite tornade: Fruit crisp
http://frenchtornado.blogspot.com/2011/01/fruit-crisp.html
Here is a simple, healthy and tasty dessert to make on cold winter nights that will get the thumbs up from everyone. 1 1/4 cup rolled oats. 1 cup packed Brown sugar. 3/4 cup all purpose flour. 3/4 cup almonds toasted and roughly chopped. Fruits of your choice. I like using apples and pears cut in small chunks, blueberries and raspberries picked in the summer time and frozen. Mix and spread the fruits evenly into an oven proof serving dish. Bake in pre-heated oven at 375 F for 45 mn. WA, United States.

Here is a lighter brioche that can be enjoyed with sweet or savory food in-lieu of bread. It is best to make this over 2 days, day one prepping the dough, day 2 shaping and rising. Alternately you can prepare the dough in the morning and shape, rise and bake in the evening. 30 gr fresh yeast / 15 gr. 75 gr / 1/3 cup heap sugar. 525 gr / 3 and 1/3 cup bread flour. 255 gr / 2 sticks and 2 Tbsp unsalted butter at room temperature. 43 mini tartlet molds. Let the dough rest for 15mn in the bowl. Let them rise...

Mardi Gras - Part 2 - Crêpes / Crêpes Suzette. While the galettes are savoury the "crêpes" are typically sweet, served with a sweet filling. Here is a recipe that I modified to make it lighter. For about 20 crêpes 9” diameter. 1 ¾ cup All Purpose Flour 250 gr. 2 cups Milk 500 ml. 1 Tbsp Sugar 1 Tbsp. Flavour with 1 Tbsp Rum or Kirsch or Orange flower water or/& vanilla. Substitute half of the milk with a light blonde beer, it will make for lighter crêpes. Then add the sugar, salt and flavouring of choice.
