Damn it. I should be in France a second time since covid-19 quarantined the whole world back in March. Like many of you trapped in your homes around the world, I started letting my tastebuds take me on the ultimate staycations around the globe. Today I am sharing 5 of my favorite French breakfast/brunch dishes to remind me of life in a Parisian cafe watching the world pass by.

1. Bostock (toasted almond brioche)

Learn how to make Bostock (or Bostok), or toasted almond brioche in English. In my recipe, the crunchy, golden-brown slices of rich brioche generously slathered with raspberry jam and velvety almond cream (frangipane) are topped with toasted almonds and fresh raspberries. Alternatively, you could smear with a spoonful of Nutella and top it with toasted hazelnuts. This is the ultimate dish for a quick and easy breakfast or brunch dish that is guaranteed to impress your guests.

My earliest attempt at cookery began with the filleting of my sister's goldfish at age 2 and cooking my pet rabbits by age 7. Life has been downhill ever since.
