Mmm… a good croissant
It is this Saturday, June 10 that we celebrate for a 12e time one of our favorite pastries: the croissant! Created in 2012 by Franck Dury-Pavet, head of Fous desserts, and now led by the team that manages Burger, Poutine and Pizza Week, the Croissant Festival celebrates the know-how of bakers. Or, more precisely, their mastery of the good croissant, made with real butter, rolled by hand and fresh daily. Throughout the day, in the four corners of Quebec, in town and in the countryside, 67 artisans offer their croissants at a low price ($1.50). Enjoy!
Explosion of flavors in Sherbrooke
From June 8 to 11, gourmets are invited to the 10e edition of Sherbrooke t’en bouche un coin, a four-day festival devoted to the pleasures of eating well, drinking well and having fun, which will be held on the site of the Marché de la gare. The program includes a non-stop component offering to taste 25 bites in as many kiosks, concocted by 25 chefs using products from 25 producers in the region. Wine and spirits tasting workshops, cooking demonstrations on the barbecue, attractive activities, such as an initiation to yoga session accompanied by a glass of mimosa, as well as a large lamb barbecue are also On the menu. Enough to tickle the taste buds this weekend.
Culinary Gifts for Dad
Father’s Day is coming soon and you don’t know what to get yours? If it’s a barbecue or cooking enthusiast in general, we have ideas for you. First of all, did you know that this year the trend is for planchas, a healthier and more versatile outdoor cooking plate than the usual grills? Well, BBQ Québec has created an extra stainless steel plancha, with handles and a grease reservoir, which can be placed on a barbecue. Pizza ovens are also very popular, although they are often massive. But that’s not the case with the Ooni Karu 16, which is both compact and lightweight, and cooks professional pizzas in 60 seconds (at a temperature of 950°F). It is even recommended by the AVPN (Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana)! Finally, as any self-respecting cook must have, in addition to a good chef’s knife, a good thermometer to cook meat perfectly, we suggest the MEATER+ wireless smart thermometer. For what ? Because it is wireless and it calculates and monitors the cooking all by itself thanks to an application that has a range of 50 meters.
