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…]
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…]
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…]
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…]
This salad is really close to what restaurants call “cobb salad” in their menu, and is one of my favourite.

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…]
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…]
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…]
The cucumber/avocado mix is always a winner. That’s why today I am experimenting with this mini smoothie with avocados and cucumber. For once we have a warm weather here, and it is the perfect timing to try those fresh and healthy little glasses. As a appetiser, or a light starter, they are refreshing either way. … [Read more…]
