If I have one advice to give you: never go shopping on an empty stomach! Having said that, I didn’t do too bad this time, as I ended up with radishes instead of the “bad” stuff I usually am so tempted to buy when I am hungry. I usually don’t really like them, but now … [Read more…]
I had this recipe for ages, but haven’t done it for a while now. I remember the first time I tried it, I didn’t find it waw, but maybe that was because I wasn’t a big fan of cauliflower. But, things change, and I have grown up since those days 😛 So I decided to … [Read more…]
Me? Cooking scallops? It never crossed my mind before, as I always considered them as one of the hardest things to cook. But since I became open minded with food and started to learn how to appreciate some ingredients and recipes I have never thought I would, I decided to step up and to learn … [Read more…]
I have this recipe since 2002 or 2003 maybe, one of the first I have ever made and one of my favourite too! Inspired by the French chef Joel Robuchon, it is so simple to make and yet, so delicious! Ingredients for 2 portions: 300 of cucumber 50 g of cream cheese 1 tablespoon of … [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…]
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…]
Recipes are like shoes in a way, we go through different phases: the flats, the flip-flops, the high heels, the sporty ones, etc. I am the same in my kitchen, and at the moment, I am in a « terrine » mood. That’s probably because of my last trip to Harrods food hall, where there are all … [Read more…]
I try to add carrots from time to time in my diet, as they are rich in Beta-carotene and a good source of antioxidant agents. Most of the time I have them as appetizer with salt and lemon juice, but not tonight. Tonight I want to spice up a little bit my carrots and for that, I … [Read more…]
One of the first « posh » recipe (or at least at that time that was my level of « poshiness ») I have made since I moved to the UK. It is one of my favourite as it always has this « wow » effect on people, and it is so simple to make. Ingredients for 4 people: 2 large … [Read more…]
Il reste du saumon d’hier soir. On s’était fait une orgie de toast beurre/saumon fumé et on a eu les yeux plus gros que le ventre, comme d’habitude… J’aimerais trouver une recette originale, une association différente. J’ai déjà testé le saumon avec les poivrons et les carottes et je manque d’inspiration en ce moment. Je … [Read more…]
