Would You Like to Join Me In Paris?
The next trip is October 24-November 1, 2026- (almost sold out!)
We’ve added an extra day so you’ll have all day Saturday to take in markets and the sights before returning home on Sunday.
Spaces are still available. Please contact Lauren at Burkhalter Travel to register.
The itinerary has culinary adventures, time to roam and take in the city.
Stayed tuned for Spring 2027 dates!
Are you going to Paris soon? In the About section, you’ll find my Paris Notebook and Paris Adventures. I’ve been keeping lists and ideas of things I’ve done and hope to do. I hope you’ll find this section helpful.
Let’s Bake Together!
David Lebovitz just released a new cookbook, The Great Book of Chocolate, Ten Speed Press, New York.
Starting May 22, we’ll start with the first recipe Chocolate Cherry Buttermilk Scones.
Here’s how it will work. Purchase or check-out a copy of the book. Prepare the recipe then find your way to the BLOG section of this website. You’ll find a post for the recipe. You’ll see my photos, thought and tips for the recipe. After the post, you’ll find the Comments sections for the post. Add you comments, photos or links to your own blog post.
No pressure! If it’s too busy to make the recipe, jump in at another time. Or, add your notes when you’re able. If it’s a recipe you don’t feel like making, stop by and read others notes and cheer them along.
Here are some of the sites where you can find the books. You may also be able to find/order copy at a local bookseller.

I’m Still Loving my Bosch and Kenwood Mixers
I’m excited to let you know I’m working with Bosch to offer the great Universal Plus Mixer and wonderful attachments. I’ll be demoing the mixer on social media so you can see how it works. I’ve been really impressed with the power and the size of the bowl. It easily made six loaves of bread with ease. There’s a link below to explore the Bosch website. The available mixer attachments include an ice cream maker, food processor, mixer, juices and more.
The Kenwood is a stand mixer with super power and a large bowl. I like it a little better for cakes and more delicate recipes. It’s not too heavy and it’s pretty!
