By popular demand, the C&Z desktop calendars are back! At the beginning of every month in 2014, I will be offering you a new wallpaper to apply on the desktop of your computer, with a food-related picture and a calendar of the current month.
As a new feature this year, the desktop calendar is now available in two versions: a US-friendly version that features Sunday as the first day of the week, and a French version that complies with international standards, featuring Monday as the first day of the week.
Our calendar for January is a picture of the fabulous sticky buns that are sold at Frenchie To Go, Grégory Marchand's deluxe sandwich place on rue du Nil.
The pastry chef there is my talented friend Camille Malmquist, who says, "I developed the recipe when I was asked to create a cinnamon roll for the breakfast menu. I've always loved the over-the-top-ness of taking a cinnamon roll and baking it, tatin-style, in caramel and toasted nuts. Fortunately, the chef agreed with me, and now they're one of our more popular pastries, even making it to the big leagues -- they've been on the dessert menu at Frenchie for the last couple of weeks!"
Instructions to get your calendar are below.
