The tagine is one of the most popular dishes of Moroccan cuisine. Easy to prepare with a mix of sweet and sour flavours, you can prepare it in many different ways either with meat, fish, vegetables, fresh fruits, dry fruits, nuts… This lemon meatball tagine, or kefta tagine, is one of the classics that I make on a […]

This easy confit potato salad is fantastic, perfect for a “light” dinner. You won’t be able to get enough! If you follow the blog, you might have noticed the recipe of Duck confit with “sarladaise” potatoes, those delicious confit potatoes with the fat of the duck typical of the South west of France.

French summer beef stew
Light and savoury, the “Daube Provençale” is a beef stew recipe made with a white wine and Provençal herbs sauce. This fresh version of the classic French beef stew, usually prepared with red wine, is perfect for a summer dinner. The meat is marinated in the white wine and the herbs, then cooked over slow […]
Middle Eastern ratatouille with eggs, Shakshuka
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, […]

The nice thing about this dish is that all the ingredients, red pepper, chicken and cream, slowly cook together in a pan for about 20 minutes so the red pepper spread over them has a subtle flavour and pink […]
No pasta courgette lasagne
Mint and lemon chicken terrine
This chicken terrine recipe comes from my mother, and I like it very much. Especially in summer with a salad, grilled vegetables, or even crisps/chips. The mint in the terrine brings a fresh feeling, accentuated by the lemon, and those flavours mix perfectly with the chicken’s. On the top of that, its texture is soft […]
Lentil salad flavoured with fresh coriander & cardamom
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 […]
Meatball gratin with courgettes & mozzarella
I am a huge fan of gratins for their variety of tastes and their simplicity to make. For summer I found a lighter way to replace the traditional recipe with béchamel sauce by a combination of vegetables, mozzarella and Meatball gratin which is clearly more enjoyable when the temperature outside is 100º F (35ºC). This gratin […]
