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…]
I never was a big fan of butternut squash, or pumpkin, or any of those types of vegetables. Never tried it, never wanted to. It’s one of those things where just the look of it pulls you off. Until one day, my mother in law had prepared a pumpkin soup, that was it, I was … [Read more…]
That’s it, it’s mine! I hesitated for a long time and for many reasons: the price, the space to store it, etc., but what the hell, I bought it, and no regret! I know it sounds like I am talking about something super super large and worth a 4 digits price, but I am actually … [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.

Just the brainy look of this vegetable was enough to put me off for the past 30ish years, and that wasn’t … [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…]
I did that recipe for the first when we moved into our first flat in London. At that time, the size of my kitchen was less than 2 square meters. So cooking proper dishes was a big deal and required a lot of space management and organisation. A few years later we moved to another … [Read more…]
This soup is literally the first one I have ever made from scratch! Ok, nothing extraordinary about that, after all it is just boiled water and vegetables, but when you come from dried soup mixes, to that, it is a big step! 😛 You will need either a blender or a neck blender to mix … [Read more…]
