Punctual Picks #5

The fifth Punctual Picks, with everything that has crossed my path lately…

Mövenpick Double Cream & Meringue

Among life’s little pleasures, ice cream holds a special place. One of my favourites comes from Mövenpick, many of whose flavours are excellent. My big favourite is the Double Cream & Meringue. In a small tub in front of a film or in a large size to share with friends, there is always some in my freezer. The smoothness of the cream and the pieces of meringue hit the spot every time.

Cupcake Jemma

There are hundreds of thousands of YouTube channels devoted to cooking. I admit I spend a considerable amount of time watching them and picking up recipes. One of my favourites is without doubt that of Jemma Wilson, aka CupcakeJemma. She shares recipes for cakes, cupcakes and other indulgent pastries. With its colourful staging, it is a whole world that I love. On Patreon, a subscription gives access to exclusive PDF recipes and behind-the-scenes content. Jemma has also gathered many of her recipes in a book, featured in my article on English cuisine and British books (in French).

Mapiful Map

While redecorating my living room, I wanted to hang a few pictures on the walls. On one side, a pretty photo of Scotland to remember my road trip in Scotland (in French). On the other, a personalised map of Lausanne, the city where I live and which is so dear to me. After several attempts online, the Mapiful website perfectly met my expectations. It lets you customise your map down to the smallest detail. It now hangs on the wall, and I never tire of it.

Rose’s Marmalades

A food lover with a sweet tooth, I fell for the English brand Rose’s. Its marmalades smell wonderfully of fruit and citrus. It is a real pleasure to spread them on a slice of buttered bread. I have even added some to cakes, and the result was a real success.

Coffola

It is a dark brown, rectangular bar that melts under your fingers. At first glance, you might think it is chocolate. And yet, it is actually a coffee bar. For a sweet tooth like me, it was a nice surprise. I eat less of it than chocolate, I admit. But when I feel like biting into “something else”, I turn to Coffola. An original treat I really enjoy.
