[...] kóstolta, de a mai napig nem igazán tisztázott hogy a franciáktól vagy az olaszoktól ered. Az általam talált recept szerint 4 nap kell az elkészítéséhez, úgyhogy inkább körülnézek hol lehet kapni itt Pesten. [...]

marron glace=holiday feasting.I’d love to make this from scratch one day — but for now will go to my favourite Italian deli at Five Dock for a delicious treat!

wow, I will have to try this recipe! I have a recipe for chestnut ice cream from Maison du Chocolate, and it calls for marron glaces-and at waaaay too much a can, I’d rather slave for four days to make my own! I’m the guy who once made Maida Heatter’s eight hour cheese cake, so a 4 day recipe??? No biggie

Hi Angela-Thankyou I know, I never realised the work that went into them but I guess that’s why they’re so expensive. And how hard it is to get a whole one

And we thought that the chestnut puree was madness!

The maron glaces look wonderful. I never realised that they were made by absorption of syrup. Now that’s interesting! I may have to give these a try in winter.

Hi Maria-Do let me know what you think of it! Have some crepes and whipped cream at the ready, that’s how I like the puree best or just a spoon, it’s so yummy. I think I read too much food porn I’m sure I’ll run out of things though.

Every time I see a tin of chestnut puree I can only think of you Lorraine because you first brought them to my attention I’m yet to buy a can and yet to make anything of course.. but I plan to because you’ve convinced me that they must be delicious!

Your recipes and posts are so far from boring.. how do you keep coming up with all of this food uniqueness?! Marron glace’s.. how intriguing!

Hi Patricia-Thankyou! Hehe yes that’s what I love about you food bloggers, you don’t look at me like I’ve lost my mind when I take 4 days to make something

Lorraine, your chestnuts recipes are always winners. And we, food bloggers, are a different kind of human being, definitely.
