Un gateau tout doux – Moelleux à la rhubarbe avec miel et farine de marrons I love baking with chestnut flour, it has such a wonderful smell, and its taste is so refined. When you start baking with all kinds of flours, such as quinoa flour, chestnut flour, coconut flour, etc… white flour seems so [...]

Plaisir d’été – Salade de fèves, poivrons grillés, feta et menthe sur carpaccio de tomates It looks like summer is coming…at least in San Francisco, it might be a false alarm, but I am in such a summer mood those days.

Pas si nature que ca – Taboule aux pistaches, airelles et menthe sur portobello grillé I made this taboule as an accompaniment to a Tagine, so why not stuff some portobello with it.  I used portobellos just because I bought  five of them for a dinner party, and I ended up not preparing them, so [...]

Trop chou!! – Velouté de choux de Bruxelles aux cocos et thym Brussels sprouts are round, small and cute, and many people find them heavy to digest due to their high content in sulfur. They tend to have a strong flavor, but I think that’s what makes them particular. They are from the cabbage [...]

Ca sent la cocotte – Oeufs cocotte aux fanes de moutarde, crème et lardons Another traditional French dish…cocotte has different meanings in French but is used in our modern slang, calling someone “ma cocotte”  is somehow like “honey” or an endearing word. It probably goes back to last century [...]
