Item Open Access Pralines des Voyageurs: An Iconic Intercultural Food(Cuizine : the Journal of Canadian Food Cultures) Bouchard, Valérie; Charbonneau, Patrick; De Valicourt, JustinePralines are well-known French and New Orleans delicacies, making them synonymous with both refinement and high-calory count. In the 18th and early 19th centuries, the confection also had a rougher edge. After substituting almonds and refined sugar by indigenous ingredients—corn and maple sugar—it became an iconic travel food for explorers and traders of the North American continent.

We also attempt to reconstruct a contemporary equivalent to the historical recipe.Item Open Access Sugars: Soft Caramel and Sucre à la Crème--an Undergraduate Experiment about Sugar Crystallization(2021) Charbonneau, Patrick; Altan, Irem; De Valicourt, JustineA comprehensive reference to molecular gastronomy, this book highlights techniques that have enabled chefs to achieve new and better ways of preparing food.
