Les eclairs sans glaçage sont moche!
That’s what my French husband declaired while we were discussing about this Daring Baker recipe! And who can disagree with him? Sure not us Daring Bakers!
When I saw that this month’s recipe was Eclairs au chocolat I was absolutely pleased! And when I read that they were a Pierre Hermè recipe, well, I was in heaven! And I think I wasn’t the only one, right? 
The best part about a Pierre Hermè recipe is that they are absolutely infallible! It’s impossible something can go wrong: they are just perfect!
I’m in heaven… And my husband too!

This is my first visit to your new blog — it’s gorgeous. I adore the banner. I have been out of the blogosphere all summer but am getting back into it little by little now that I’m back in France.
Hope you had a great summer.

Hey, Sara!
I hope you don’t mind, but I thought I’d ask your readers for recommendations on trattorias, bakeries and gelaterias in Milan. My gf and I are going there on Saturday and as usual I’m in charge of everything food related. I know a few places from my previous visits to Milan, but I doubt they are the best and they are probably not even a tiny bit of all the places we should go! Please enlighten me
Oh, and are there areas where the locals go for aperitivos? When I was there as a student we tended to end up in places that served poor aperitivo food for rather high prices.
Anyhow, I’m grateful for all help I get

I can’t find them either!!!! This is the second time I struggle with that. I live in Cape Town and we have exactly one bakery that makes decent eclairs and poor Daniel is snowed under.
Thought I’d give it a try, even though I am no baker. Not really.
About the restaurants in Milano. You will really struggle to find a bad one.
