Dessert Easy difficulty Proust wrote three thousand pages about a cookie. He was right. Brown butter, an overnight rest, and the famous bump explained once and for all.
Dessert Hard difficulty The original macaron: flat, rustic, no filling, no colors — just almonds, sugar, egg white and time. Two nuns, one recipe, a Revolution in the way.
Entrée Hard difficulty Marinated pork and veal sealed in pastry, from a recipe older than most countries — a 1392 manuscript, Lorraine claims. And dares you to argue.
Plat Easy difficulty Bacon, cream, no cheese — and yes, Lorraine will fight you on this. An honest quiche: blind-baked crust, a custard that shivers, zero myths.
Dessert Medium difficulty The golden plum that only exists in Lorraine, briefly and gloriously, baked in neat circles on a buttery shell. Six weeks a year, no exceptions.
