Toasted Brioche with Lemon Cream and Raspberries

11.08.2008 Baked

I love "last bite," the very last page in Food & Wine each month, and often look there first, wondering what I’ll find.  Most of the time, it’s something I can’t wait to try myself, and have with great results.  Other times, I’m fascinated, and just keep the page open, wondering if I should give [...]
