We met a friend for lunch on a really cold day. Once inside we found a quaint French bistro with a fireplace burning and warmed up quickly. Normally I post about dinners but this lunch was exceptional. It is also worth noting the owners, the Forman Wolf Restaurant Group, will close Petit Louis Bistro soon to do a brand reset and remodel. The new restaurant will be a more casual Italian space called Lupa.

My Chocolate Mousse with Espresso, Grand Marnier, and Lace Tuile was amazing. It was smooth with just the right chocolate taste.

I’m not sure how much longer Petit Louis Bistro will be around but if you are in the area and have a chance to get lunch before it closes you won’t be disappointed.

Easy Garlic Knots

These soft, garlicky knots taste just like your favorite pizzeria’s garlic knots, but made from scratch using my easy yeast-free bagel dough recipe (just flour, Greek yogurt, baking powder and salt). Easy Garlic Knots No need to wait for the dough to rise, no fancy mixer required, just mix it, roll and bake, they are so good fresh out of the oven (or air fryer)!

When Mary Berry announced in 2016 that she was leaving The Great British Bake-Off , but that Paul Hollywood was staying, it felt like The Beatles were breaking up.
