Category: Food & Cooking

What was your inspiration?

I live in a smallish town in Canada and it is hard to find a GOOD croissant...that doesn't cost 5$, and a French husband that loves them :)

What are you most proud of?

I did it and they are excellent...buttery fluffy exactly right. This is an excellent course and if you follow her exactly you will have success!

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Watch the video as you are doing the course. Do exactly what Collette does...mix it the exact same amount of time, kneed it the exact same amount and you simply cant fail.

Kendahl, these look lovely. I can understand how proud you feel as I achieved a very similar result today after my first attempt. I think it's a good indication of how great Colettes' class is, that there are so many success stories here. No more shop rubbish for us now!

Oh, yum! Beautiful! They look so light and flaky! You have every reason to be proud. Croissants are not the easiest of breads.
