J'y suis, l'odeur acidulé, sucré de la framboise, j'ai l'impression d'être à la campagne, le vent, l'air chaude et fraîche a la fois, sublime. Quelle belle présentation. Bravo!

Beautiful lesson of making jelly jam and illustrated with very fine pictures.

I'm never ceased to be amazed by your culinary skills, nor the way you present them in photographic recipes; you should make a book :)

Du très bon travail soit dans la création, soit en cuisine.
Marie-Luce est une jeune femme ravissante et elle sait aussi faire des confitures.
Pensez-vous qu’elle acceptera de m’épouser ?

Everything in this page is of very good taste, the presentation, the photos and the jelly.
