I had those roulades for the first time at my in-laws, a couple of years ago. For a long time I was hesitant to try to cook them myself as they seem quite complicated to do until one day I just threw myself in the water, and the result wasn’t actually too bad. Meat lovers, … [Read more…]

I mentioned previously my trip to Cancun. I had this dessert in one of the many restaurants of the resort we were staying at: “Kampai restaurant”. As the resort was huge, we had to walk 15 minutes to get there, but it was so worth it, even under 35 degrees! Ingredients for 4 portions: 400 … [Read more…]

A few years ago, I went to Cancun on a last-minute-completely-unexpected-trip! (which are usual the best ones!). During this trip I had the opportunity to try a lot of typical dishes, from the most known to the most “I-have_never_heard_about_that_thing” ones. Obviously the guacamole belong to the first category, but still, I felt this recipe had … [Read more…]

Carrot cake always sounded funny from the other side of the tunnel. So I couldn’t fit 100% into my new culture if I didn’t at least give it a try myself! It is like going to France and not having cheese and wine at least once! 😛 After some research and some tests, behold my … [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…]

Me? Cooking scallops? It never crossed my mind before, as I always considered them as one of the hardest things to cook. But since I became open minded with food and started to learn how to appreciate some ingredients and recipes I have never thought I would, I decided to step up and to learn … [Read more…]

I love that recipe as there is absolutely no butter in it, and the texture of the soufflés is so fluffy and light that you don’t feel you are cheating on your diet while eating them! And, if you are not already convinced, think that you are eating one of your “5 a day fruits/vegetables”, … [Read more…]
