I made this cake for the first time 2 years ago for a birthday. That was my first « nice looking » cake, with chocolate sauce and decoration. I remembered this cake as being hard to make because of the frosting, but decided to give it another try anyway, and it actually, wasn’t that bad. I guess … [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…]

Il reste du saumon d’hier soir. On s’était fait une orgie de toast beurre/saumon fumé et on a eu les yeux plus gros que le ventre, comme d’habitude… J’aimerais trouver une recette originale, une association différente. J’ai déjà testé le saumon avec les poivrons et les carottes et je manque d’inspiration en ce moment. Je … [Read more…]

Why not trying them with something a bit different… a few clicks to help stimulate my inspiration and here are my small spinach, shrimps and blue cheese flans Ingredients for 2 portions: 2 … [Read more…]
When I found that recipe of curry cakes, I couldn’t not try it ! So here we go, I have tried them and I quite enjoyed them. You can really taste the carrots, a bit less the curry, but just enough to spice up those delicious little cakes! You will need a food processor for this … [Read more…]
