Brioche, most definitely. So many memories of my childhood in France.
My friends and I always say that there is no worries that an oven warm brioche and a handmade hot chocolate (milk in which you melt real Valhrona chocolate) cannot fix.

Yes, at Sauce at the moment (French cooking and baking), and looking at more options.
Alos teach French classes through Bonjour Toowoomba, which I also own.
