La vie est pleine de contrastes – Salade de lentilles et saumon fumé It’s quite a fun way to eat lentils…lentils are very versatile and I think not popular enough especially since they’re highly nutritious. I have rarely seen them in restaurants other than in soups. In France they’re considered [...]

Ca sent l’automne – Saumon aux raisins blancs Grapes for me is the fruit that symbolizes fall, probably because of the harvesting of the grapes in France (vendanges).  Today, I wanted to feature a very simple French dish using grapes and combined with salmon, and this one turned out much better [...]

Un petit air asiatique – Crêpes à la noix de coco farcies aux crevettes, champignons noirs et épinards What I love most about those crêpes is the color, and no it’s not a corn pancake, the deep yellow color comes from turmeric.
