Teatime in Paris cookbookBorn in Scotland, Jill Colonna moved to Paris with her husband over 20 years ago. She realized she not only needed to learn the language, but that her baking skills needed upgrading. Jill learned how to make macarons, which led to a cookbook (Mad About Macarons!). She has expanded to other French patisserie recipes in her second book, Teatime in Paris! Learn more about her experience living in Paris and writing the cookbook in our author interview.

We’re delighted to offer 10 copies of Teatime in Paris! (Contest is limited to EYB Members in the US, Canada, and UK. Five copies will be given to  Members in US & Canada and five to Members in the UK.) One of the entry options is to answer the following question in the comments section of this blog post:

Which French patisserie treat are you most interested in learning to make?

Please note that you must be signed into the Rafflecopter contest before posting the comment or your entry won’t be counted. The contest ends June 29, 2015.

    I would like to learn to make puff pastry because it is so versatile. Learning to make puff pastry with fabulous butter would be a springboard to making so many French desserts.

  • Jaiputra  on  June 27, 2015

    I love baking and having lived in France remember that my ultimate favourite decadent indulgence was a Gateau au Chocolat. It was a dense, dark and delicious confection with a very different texture to a chocolate sponge cake as it contained very little flour. find me the recipe please!!
