Enjoying without shaming

Minty mango and melon gaspacho

3 November 2012 by vanessa 2 Comments

Even though the weather is more about warm soup, I couldn’t miss the last melons of the season, especially with this recipe which is a little bit unusual, so easy to make, and super tasty! Ingredients for 6 ramequins: 1 melon (about 400 to 500 g of flesh) 1 large mango (about 250 g of … [Read more…]

Fondant au chocolat

26 October 2012 by vanessa 4 Comments

Even if I try to keep it “healthy” to a minimum level, according to the name of my blog, I should have more recipes involving chocolate. This one for example, is one of my favourite, even though I really don’t do it often, or at least not as often as I would like, but that’s … [Read more…]

Spiced mashed carrots

22 October 2012 by vanessa 4 Comments

This mashed carrots is as tasty as colourful, and add an unusual touch to the side dishes, as we know them such as fries, salad, or mashed potatoes. The contrast between the taste of the spices and the carrots is surprising and the combination is very subtle. It goes particularly really well with chicken and … [Read more…]

Houmous

3 October 2012 by vanessa 7 Comments

What I love the most about Lebanese food is the concept of sharing. You order a mix of hot and cold “mezzes”, put them in the middle of the table and share them with the people around you. That allows you to try a little (or a lot!) bit of everything. Humus is one of … [Read more…]

Coconut sticky rice with pineapple

1 September 2012 by vanessa 4 Comments

I love Thai food, even though the only negative aspect of it, is that the desserts menu is usually as poor as the main dishes menu is rich. Having said that, the few desserts they have are worth it, especially all the “sticky rice” based ones, that I love as they remind me of French … [Read more…]

Last minute chicken, avocado and bacon salad

21 August 2012 by vanessa 2 Comments

This salad is really close to what restaurants call “cobb salad” in their menu, and is one of my favourite. Not only because I love (almost) all the ingredients in it (except for the tomatoes, but I try to eat them anyway), but also because it is the kind of ingredient I always have in … [Read more…]

White chocolate cheesecake

15 August 2012 by vanessa 2 Comments

  There are so many options when it comes to cheesecake: with or without eggs, baked or not. After trying out different recipes, I came up with that one, which is definitely my favourite ever! It is really to die for and there’s not one person who tried it who didn’t love it. Give it … [Read more…]

Tom kha gai or Thai chicken soup

7 August 2012 by vanessa 3 Comments

I tried Thai food for the first time during my trip in Thailand. I have never had it before that, as I never really liked spicy food. But unless I was willing to eat rice and fruits for 3 weeks, I had to make an effort and at least give it a try during my … [Read more…]

Marinated peppers and mashed avocado

4 August 2012 by vanessa Leave a Comment

One thing I love with my cooking blog is the interaction with other food lovers, and sharing tips with them. This recipe was given to me by Gene, who posted it as a comment under one of my recipes. I have done it a couple of time already, and I can confirm that it is … [Read more…]

Chocolate flavoured mini-madeleines

31 July 2012 by vanessa 4 Comments

After the blossom water flavoured mini madeleines, here is the chocolaty version of those typical French little cakes. But I really can’t make up my mind between the two options, as I found them both delicious, in their own way! 🙂 Ingredients for 72 mini-madeleines: 100 g of flour 50 g of soft butter 90 … [Read more…]
