Julien, merci beaucoup de nous partager la recette. Je veux te complimenter que ton anglais est super bien.

Please share about your life from France to England. Your English is so good, how did you go from fluent French to fluent English? Where and when was the starting point? I’m very curious. Because in the old days, like my French elementary school, English was barely taught.

Great video Julien. Really happy to see you using IRISH whipping cream 🤣. I’m going to France next week. Can I buy Praliné in the supermarkets?

Delicious!! You use 40% fat whipping cream aren't you? It is thicker then 35%
I had to laugh when you had no place for the bowl....the same problem overhere 🙈
Thank you very much for the video👍🏻🥇
