  1. I’m not an english native speaker and I didn’t quit get that last sentence “Place ramekin…”, so please Mr Paul can you re-explain it to me, I would be really grateful !
    Merci pour votre bienveillance 🙂

    1. I hope this is not a spam message, which I pretty much think it is 🙂 but if it isn’t, here is what I meant: Place the ramekin (a ramekin is a porcelain container used for different preparation, like creme brûlée. The water bath is usually a container (bigger than the ramekin) and partially filled with water. The ramekin should be placed in this container, and the whole thing goes inside the oven. This method of cooking is called, baine marie.

      1. Thank you very much for taking the time to replay, I get it better now ( actually the “bain-marie” made it crystal clear to me).
        Ps: I honestly don’t know what made you believe that my comment was a spam, but I can assure that it is not ! In fact I’m a 23 yo moroccan that enjoy discovering other cooking culture 🙂
        Thank you for sharing these amazing recipes !

        1. 🙂 Im really glad you are real 🙂 Lately, I’ve been getting hit by a lot of spam comments, so apologies for having doubted you and thank you for your wonderful comments. Your feedback is very welcome!

      2. Indeed, I’ve just tried TODAY your recipe for the fish croquettes (which I was looking for, btw, for a really long time) and they turn out amazingly delicious !

        1. excellent!!! So glad they were delicious. I don’t make them very often because as you can see, they take some work and the kitchen can end up like a battle zone, but they are so worth it. I grew up eating fish croquetes very often. Half of my family is from Spain 🙂
