After the massive success of those biscuits during the last Christmas holidays, I gladly “had to” share the recipe on my blog! According to some feedback I had when I baked them the first time, they are “absolutely divine”! Do you think you would like them too? Ingrédients for 16 biscuits: 110 g of flour … [Read more…]
A super busy week, an improvised diner for 8, less than 3 hours on D day to prepare everything, but no stress, I have everything under control! It has been a long weekend, frankly, I am a little bit tired, and have no energy to go into details as I usually try to do when … [Read more…]
An unexpected journey to Lyon, a cooking magazine bought quickly at the station right before the train departure, a craving for fish, and more particularly salmon, and here is the “Salmon blanquette” recipe that I found in my magazine!

I haven’t done any soup for ages! I haven’t done a lot of cooking generally speaking full stop actually. Which is a shame as I had that recipe for a while now, and have done it a few times already, and it is the same success every time. I hope you will like it as … [Read more…]
« Loubieh bi zeit », means literally “beans in oil”, even though there is not so much oil in this recipe, or at least not in the way I do it. I have to say it is not my favourite mezze, but still, it is an easy one to do, and typical from the Lebanese cuisine. I … [Read more…]
