J’aurais aimé savoir nager – Nage d’opah avec fèves et carottes Opah or moonfish is found in Hawaii and has a fatty flesh, somehow like tuna and salmon. It’s a unique fish due to its flat and round shape and color. I really like its texture and you can prepare like you would any fish with that [...]

Vous fumez? – Cigarettes aux poireaux, crevettes et champigons shiitake   I am a heavy smoker of those cigarettes! The excitement is more related to the feuilles de brick (the wrapping sheets, literally translated into “sheet brick”) than to those cigarettes themselves. I used to bring feuilles de [...]

Une salade Niçoise pas comme les autres – Salade niçoise avec brochette de saumon grillé, et tartine de tapenade à l’oeuf poché When you eat out, salades niçoises are always more or less the same, with minor variations from one restaurant to another…and often a little on the boring side.

Aumonières aux écrevisses, poireaux et tomates cerises, sauce curry I am back in the US and I did not post anything while in France, simply because I had no time to cook – I think I prepared lunch for my parents twice, the rest of my stay my mom cooked and we had guests so no time to shot [...]
