That soup recipe is really similar to my first vegetable soup. I just removed/added some vegetables to change the taste a little bit, but other that that it is the same kind of easy and quick recipe. The main difference is the celery (which is one of the many vegetables I use to dislike… a … [Read more…]
March is cold, very cold. It ‘s raining, sometimes even snowing, it is dark, let’s just say I don’t cope well with winter. All I can think about is the warmth of a sunny island, Maldives? Mauritius? … or not. At least not for now, but I can always comfort myself with some good food … [Read more…]
You can’t go wrong when you mix chocolate with fruits! Any fruits! But some work better than other, and among my favourites (after banana and strawberries of course!), come the pears. I have this recipe from a small chocolate themed recipe book that my friend offered me a couple of years ago. I hope you … [Read more…]

Especially this creamy soup, it is really worth trying it, trust me you won’t be disappointed! Ingredients for 5 portions: 600 g of butternut squash flesh 20 … [Read more…]
There are so many different versions of the chocolate mousse recipe that one can definitely not try them all. The differences lie mainly in the texture: either fluffy, or dense, or creamy, depending on the ingredients you use (cream, butter, sugar etc). I usually don’t like it very sweet as I think it kills the … [Read more…]
If I have one advice to give you: never go shopping on an empty stomach! Having said that, I didn’t do too bad this time, as I ended up with radishes instead of the “bad” stuff I usually am so tempted to buy when I am hungry. I usually don’t really like them, but now … [Read more…]
