Matcha Sable Viennois (Pierre Herme)

 

Christmas baking season is about to start for me. I was looking around for a cookie recipe and found this recipe at My Kitchen Antics. It is a recipe by Pierre Herme. I added 1 teaspoon of match powder to the flour before sifting and transformed the cookies into matcha sable viennois.

Mango, Pear and Parsley Salsa

This simple salsa is a great side dish to a meal that consists of roasted meats, such as a roast beef or roast rack of lamb (which was what I made as a side for). It refreshes the palate in between eating the rich, tasting roasted meat.
