We can see all christmas decoration on the shops and christmas markets are opening filled with foie gras, oysters, mulled wine, …

Chestnut log recipe

I found this recipe on Saveurs magazine last year. I adapted it a bit to my taste, I hope that you will like it and give you the motivation to make your own logs this year. At the end, it’s not so difficult, however you have to plan ahead and why not froze them so you have enough time on christmas eve for the rest.
