Those little pies will definitely give a really nice touch to your appetizers and impress your guests. They are also a good alternative to the peanuts/chips and other blood vessels corks. Plus, they are super easy to make, give them a try you won’t regret it. Ingredients for 30 mini tarts: 1 short crust pastry … [Read more…]
I have some courgettes left from the ratatouille I did a couple of days ago (I can never get it right, always too much of this or of that). And I wanted to do something a little bit different than cooking them either in a tart, or a flan, or in a ratatouille! So I … [Read more…]
Even though the mascarpone is one of the most calories loaded cheese I know (with 410 cal per 100 g), it has become one of my favourites and I am always looking for different ways to incorporate it in new recipes. And this one is definitely one of the best ways I have found so … [Read more…]
Usually not a big fan of the sweet and sour mix, I was yet curious about this recipe so I tried it. It was good, I wouldn’t have it everyday, but from time to time why not, it’s a bit different than the traditional way of cooking chicken. Ingredients for 4 portions: 4 chicken breasts … [Read more…]
I never really liked chicory, I have never even tried to taste it to be honest, it just doesn’t look appealing enough for me. But I decided to give it a try with this recipe, as I am a soup lover, so maybe that could be a way for me to get used to this … [Read more…]

I love feta cheese, even though for some reasons I rarely use it in my kitchen. I received a series of small but inspiring books for my birthday last year, and this recipe was one of the first (but not the last!) I tried. I hope you will enjoy it as much as I did. … [Read more…]
At first, this recipe looked boring to me, but the more I was reading, the more I was « mmh actually why not? ». For once there’s not mayonnaise involved in the avocado/prawns mix. And the « piment d’Espelette », the finest French chilli must be the little something that is needed to spice up this recipe. I tried … [Read more…]
I have never used mascarpone before this recipe. I even have no clue of its texture as the only dessert I know with mascarpone is tiramisu and I don’t like it. There’s a first time for everything, and this recipe really inspired me. The ingredients included only mascarpone, but I found it way to heavy … [Read more…]
I never was a big fan of butternut squash, or pumpkin, or any of those types of vegetables. Never tried it, never wanted to. It’s one of those things where just the look of it pulls you off. Until one day, my mother in law had prepared a pumpkin soup, that was it, I was … [Read more…]
