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.

Meatball gratin with courgettes & mozzarella

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 […]
