As a brunch lover and historical Simmer, Laura Hannoun, Parisian food entrepreneur and co-founder of brunch restaurant, Immersion Paris, in 2020 is known for her Instagram accounts @lesparisdelaura and @instabrunchparis. She now runs three brunch restaurants serving dishes inspired by different cultures.

We worked with Laura to offer Simmers the chance to discover some of the game's recipes IRL. From December 14 to January 28, players had the exclusive opportunity to taste a selection of The Sims dishes and drinks at the Immersion Sentier in Paris. Laura revisited some of her favorite dishes from the game and incorporated them into her menu, such as the heart-shaped berry waffles from The Sims 4 Home Chef Hustle Stuff Pack.

“Since 2016, brunch has become a passion for me, said Laura.” “Whether in Paris or around the world, I can't resist discovering new places and flavors. I love brunch so much that I co-founded Immersion establishments, with our motto being 'For the Love of Brunch! Today, I am proud to have had the opportunity to bring the game's recipes to life at Immersion Sentier, our third Parisian establishment.”

Laura showed us her recipe for the Berry Waffles. In the game, they are served with red fruits, but at Immersion, she has decided to add her own little touch with a Dulce de Leche chocolate ganache.

Heart-Shaped Berry Waffles Recipe by Laura Hannoun (Inspired by The Sims 4   Home Chef Hustle Stuff Pack)

Servings: 4 servings (4 small waffles p.p)

Prep time: 10 min

Refrigeration time : 3 hours min.

Cook time : 5 min

Ingredients:

250g Flour

60g Sugar

3 Eggs

70g Melted butter

11g of Baking powder:

7.5g Vanilla sugar

35cl of Milk

Berries of your choice

Maple syrup

Directions:

• Mix the flour, sugar, baking powder and vanilla sugar in a bowl.
• In another bowl, whisk the eggs with the milk. Add them to the first bowl and mix. Add the melted butter. If there are any lumps, mix with an electric whisk.
• Cover the bowl with cling film and leave to rest in the fridge for at least three hours.
• Once the waffle batter is ready, bake it in a lightly buttered waffle iron - in the shape of a heart, because it's better!
• Arrange four waffles on a flat plate. Add seasonal berries: raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, strawberries. Drizzle generously with maple syrup.
• For those with a sweet tooth, I recommend dipping the waffles in dulce cream and adding coconut shavings!
