Good food is good mood

Aubergines and yogurt, or “fattet batenjen”

22 September 2016 by vanessa Leave a Comment

This recipe was inspired to me by another Lebanese recipe. My version is a much lighter one though, as the original contains deep fried bread (which I rarely add when I do it at home). But stil, it is very tasty without it. Don’t get me wrong I love the traditional one, but wouldn’t (and … [Read more…]

Raw courgettes and tomato salad

28 July 2016 by vanessa Leave a Comment

Depending if they are cooked or not, courgette’s taste can be completely different, and that is true for this veggie even more than for any other. This salad was a complete improvisation, and ended up to be a good one! I can never get bored of the crunchiness of the raw courgettes! Ingredients for 2 … [Read more…]

Minty mango and melon gaspacho

3 November 2012 by vanessa 2 Comments

Even though the weather is more about warm soup, I couldn’t miss the last melons of the season, especially with this recipe which is a little bit unusual, so easy to make, and super tasty! Ingredients for 6 ramequins: 1 melon (about 400 to 500 g of flesh) 1 large mango (about 250 g of … [Read more…]

Marinated peppers and mashed avocado

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…]

Curry tuna and olives terrine

21 July 2012 by vanessa 4 Comments

That recipe is one of my secret weapons that I like to bake when I am running out of time, but still want, or at least try, to impress my guests. You can really play with the decoration (lemon slices, olives, salad) to make it look waw, with a minimum of effort. Ingredients for 6 … [Read more…]

Cucumber and tomato tartare

10 July 2012 by vanessa Leave a Comment

I never ever liked tomato, especially after being forced to eat them when I was a kid. Those things stays 😛 I still try to find tricks though to eat some from time to time as they are very beneficial for the health. This simple (but efficient!) recipe did the work. I won’t have it … [Read more…]

Chicory and pecans salad

31 March 2012 by vanessa 2 Comments

I stole this recipe from my father-in-law, last time we went over to visit them. One more thing that I learnt to like: the chicory. I knew I liked it mixed in a soup, but didn’t like them in a salad. I changed my mind though, after trying this one, which became one of my … [Read more…]

Smoked ham and cauliflower soufflés

31 January 2012 by vanessa 6 Comments

I had this recipe for ages, but haven’t done it for a while now. I remember the first time I tried it, I didn’t find it waw, but maybe that was because I wasn’t a big fan of cauliflower. But, things change, and I have grown up since those days 😛 So I decided to … [Read more…]
