“Gratienne no longer cooks, but if that were the case and if I were a director, I would ask her for her recipe for floating islands! It's really this recipe that springs from my childhood memories, when, for her, cooking was part of our family rituals. And then, maybe there was less desire on her part: the dessert for our family meals became a mint-chocolate or vanilla-chocolate Viennetta. This year, on the occasion of Christmas, my sister had hoped to make this family Viennetta herself! It's off to a late start. Maybe we will manage to do it for Gratienne's 86th birthday, which we will celebrate together in March! To bear witness to our special bond with my grandmother and to keep track of our family history, I created the blog www.lamaisondegratienne.fr.” - Magalie
