This week we bring you a sneak peek of our monthly recipe and wine, which means that you get to see them before anyone else! And this month we are inaugurating a new recipe queen. Camille Malmquist has sadly become too busy to stay with us, working as a pastry chef at the newly opened and gigantically successful resto  Blend. Blend offers vrai American burgers and awesome desserts, like whoopie pies, speculoos cheesecake, cookies and brownies (delicacies from the United States that you can't easily find in Paris), made by our former recipe writer extraordinaire. She will be missed!

Enter stage left, Katia Grimmer-Laversanne from Australia, who is married to a French man and has been living in Paris for more than 10 years. She is half of the very successful weekly Katia and Kyliemac podcast and, not surprisingly, she likes to cook. (Katia is on the right.)

Her first recipe for us is a mouthwatering and oh-so-French appetizer.

Warm Goat Cheese and Smoked Duck Canapés

With spring in the air, windows have been thrown wide open and partygoers are spilling out on balconies all over Paris, and you need something light and easy for the spontaneous get-together. With only a small amount of preparation involved in this little canapé, it's the perfect French appetizer, which means you'll be able to join your guests on the balcony in no time! Read more.
