Broccolis lovers: this one is for you! And if you are one of those who for some don’t like broccolis, I’d better warn you: be careful if you decide to try this recipe… you might change your mind and join the green side! No oil or dressing of any kind here, the smoothness of the … [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…]
