J’inaugure aujourd’hui une nouvelle rubrique sur mon blog. Je ne sais pas si elle aura du succès ni à quelle fréquence elle sera alimentée, puisque ça ne dépendra pas de moi mais de vous. La semaine dernière j’ai reçu une photo intitulée « un diner Légumes et Chocolat », envoyée par Aurélie qui avait préparé une salade … [Read more…]
A few years ago, I went to Cancun on a last-minute-completely-unexpected-trip! (which are usual the best ones!). During this trip I had the opportunity to try a lot of typical dishes, from the most known to the most “I-have_never_heard_about_that_thing” ones. Obviously the guacamole belong to the first category, but still, I felt this recipe had … [Read more…]
Carrot cake always sounded funny from the other side of the tunnel. So I couldn’t fit 100% into my new culture if I didn’t at least give it a try myself! It is like going to France and not having cheese and wine at least once! 😛 After some research and some tests, behold my … [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…]
I love marshmallows!

I know. It sounds stupid now, but a decade ago it didn’t, at … [Read more…]
After I made a tart Provençale this week, I had some courgettes and tomatoes left over, and as I hate wasting food, the obvious quick, lazy but still healthy choice was to make an omelette out of it. So that what I made with my left overs, but you can add anything you want in … [Read more…]
I used to make my own short crust, two at the time so I have always one spare in the freezer for emergencies. I had one frozen for sometimes now, and thought it might be time to use it before it becomes inedible. I am more into savoury tarts, so vegetable tart it will be! … [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 love that recipe as there is absolutely no butter in it, and the texture of the soufflés is so fluffy and light that you don’t feel you are cheating on your diet while eating them! And, if you are not already convinced, think that you are eating one of your “5 a day fruits/vegetables”, … [Read more…]
This is a typical Lebanese recipe, and it is really dear to my heart as it is one of my grandmother’s signature dishes. It is one of my favourite as it reminds me of my childhood and my summers in Lebanon. But no matter how many times I have tried it already and even if … [Read more…]
