the roux brothers know their techniques. the recipes are perfected. they tend to be a little retrograde considering current dietary knowledge - rich butter, a lot of sugar and white flour recipes. then again, a small slice of gâteau has got to be buttery, fat and sweet. they are indulgences! and good ones, at that. les meilleurs recettes!
