Thanksgiving (The Food Edition)

Sorry the posting has been so light around here lately! I've been a bit preoccupied with Thanksgiving (obviously). Hopefully these photos and recipes can make up a bit for my lackluster recent blogging.

Before you get upset at the lack of turkey and stuffing, I should acquaint you with our Thanksgiving tradition; for the past few years (4? 5?) my mother has hosted a Thanksgiving brunch. It's kind of the most perfect tradition, with everyone being able to attend before their usual familial obligations. Plus, my mother makes her famous, homemade croissants. That's a big, big plus.  

• Sweet Corn Madeleines with Caviar and Crème Fraîche
• Caramelized Onion and Apple Tarts with Gruyere and Thyme
• Chevre Devils

• Pear and Smoked Gouda Dutch Baby
