I am thrilled to introduce my first vegan recipe, a vegan tofu and vegetable curry!! I first tried this recipe last year, just after coming back from a summer holiday in Mexico. My darling and I happily enjoyed tacos and other delicious Mexican dishes such as the carnitas over a few weeks. A decision was […]
The shakshuka, a Middle Eastern ratatouille with eggs, is a simple and quick recipe to prepare. The shakshuka original recipe is made with red peppers and tomatoes, and I like to add some courgettes. For seasoning, I use Ras el hanout, a mix of spices from Morocco, paprika and cinnamon, but you can also use cumin, […]

This cooking appliance allows you to cook the ingredients over a very high temperature, evenly, […]

To roast the vegetables gives them a nice smoky taste and make them much nicer to eat than boiled vegetables.After the roasted root […]
Why are root vegetables such as carrots, potatoes, parsnips, turnips, celeriac, rutabaga etc. such a powerful source of nutrients? Because they are grown into the ground, far away from any natural light, and for this reason they store inside themselves the vitamins and minerals necessary to their growth. Furthermore the root vegetables naturally carry few […]
After Christmas and its huge meals, we generally appreciate a few weeks of light, healthy and easy to prepare food to sweep away the previous excesses, which makes soup a very successful option. My favourite winter soups are the pumpkin curry soup with sweet potato and the sautéed vegetables soup but I always like to […]
This lentil salad is surprisingly fresh and spicy at the same time, thanks to the herbs and seasoning which blends perfectly with the mildest flavour of lentils. Cardamom seeds are commonly used in Asian cuisine, especially in India where they come from, and they bring a lemony hint to the salad. This recipe comes from […]

Sprinkled with basil and seasoned with the honey and mustard vinaigrette, the result is very surprising. […]

Chicken breasts are cooked with toasted sesame seeds, which […]

Apart from a good olive oil and balsamic vinegar, the most important thing is to add ingredients that provide a strong and sweet touch at the […]
The French ratatouille is a vegetable stir-fry, typical of Mediterranean cuisine and ideal to accompany any kind of grilled meat or fish. This dish is very healthy because of the vegetables it has, but it also contains a significant amount of olive oil so it is not really “light”. Making a good French ratatouille is […]
Although winter is now over, I want to share one of my favourite winter recipes… How to make a good soup? This sautéed leek soup is quite traditional, with potatoes and carrots. I give it a special twist by sauteing the leeks for a few minutes in salted butter before adding the other vegetables. It gives the […]
