"Cerave" unscented moisturizer in large bottles at great prices at the Pharmacy at 26 Rue du Four (corner of rue de Four and rue Bonaparte) in the 6th just off of blvd Saint-Germain. Unfortunately, you'll have to leave the 11th but it is worth it. I shop there regularly.

She's getting up there in years, so she probably doesn't get out much these days.

Just curious--do you know my author friend Diane (Murray) Johnson? I have an impression that Americans in Paris get to know one another. She's a novelist and a great cook!

Hi, David. I'm at my aunt's in Sacramento. She has three lemon trees! We just moved her to assisted living, so I'm going to make her your pudding and take it tomorrow. Thanks! Constance

Made this tonight to eat after dinner of wine braised chicken and mushrooms (we’re in Montpellier). Easy and so delicious!!!

The way I now have an insatiable craving for this lemon pudding!! Saving for when I visit family in Arizona next month. I live in New York City and picking fresh lemons for this from their backyard tree will be a sure highlight of my trip.

When the memory of the butterscotch pudding I made last week (using Muscovado dark brown sugar) recedes, I will make this. I even have blackberries in the freezer. And raspberries . . . raspberry sauce or coulis could be gorgeous with it.

With a small household, I appreciate that the recipe makes four servings, since pudding does not age well.

David: To replace the white flour with tapioca granules or tapioca flour, would the amount be half of the amount of all-purpose flour in the recipe, as for cornstarch, as you say in your newsletter? Merci!

I have a Baerss lime tree full of limes. Can I substitute limes for the lemons in this recipe?

I just confirmed my reservation for five weeks at Ballymaloe next summer for their class for the serious home cook. I did not think I could be more excited, but now I am.

David, how do you think this recipe would work using Meyer lemons? They are available where I live, outside of Boston MA in the USA, in spring and summer.

David, would you think this could be baked in 4 or 6 ounce ramekins?

David, I love any lemon desert, especially tarts, but this tummy warming treat in cooler weather is just what the doctor ordered. Thank you!
