About me

I am Laure-Sophie, French/Belgian kind of expatriate living in the Eternal city…Roma, with my son Giacomo born here and his dad,  A. : le centurion. I am passionated about cooking, chocolate, pastry and I just get crazy on crockery (but unfortunately, fortunately for my bank account, my small kitchen prevent me to buy a lot). I love cooking for family and friends and share new recipes with them. I started to do a foodblog to save my recipes on something else than papers or napkins. On and on, I was spending so much time on it, that the centurion offered me this domain. I made the challenge to do it in French and Italian for the recipes and English as the main language.

Why Croissant & Parmesan? well, it was quite difficult to find an original foodblog tittle. I finally ended up to pick up a name that reflects (food talking) both my french origin and where I am starting up my new life, although I feel more liégeoise than french (Liège where I spent 13 years, losing myself  in long long really long biology studies). Anyway Croissant as one of the cliché about the french gastronomy abroad and Parmesan, because it is endemic of Italia and it sounded better with Croissant than pasta…

And yes! all the pictures here are done by myself (unless specified). I might have to specify that the only contribution of A. (for anyone knowing him) in that blog is tasting (not always permitted) the recipes…but I have to admit also checking at my italian (when he has some time)!
