Easy vegan tofu and vegetable curry
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 […]
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, […]
Grilled asparagus salad with feta
It is the time of the year for asparagus! This is a vegetable that I didn’t enjoy until recently, but then I started to grill them with a flattop grill, (or “plancha” in Spanish) and now I can’t get enough. This cooking appliance allows you to cook the ingredients over a very high temperature, evenly, […]

Easy chicken and red pepper pasta
It feels like Summer is coming back again this week, so it is time to prepare my easy chicken and red pepper pasta recipe. 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 […]

Roast chicken with Mediterranean vegetables
Roast chicken is the typical family meal which is made when the whole family or good friends are gathered together. Served with vegetables cooked in the sauce or boiled, I like giving a little bit of a twist by adding some lemon, aromatic herbs such as thyme or sage, and a little ginger and couscous […]
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 […]
Colourful beetroot and carrot salad with feta
This new beetroot and carrot salad recipe has been quite successful this summer. I invented it mixing the ingredients I had in my fridge one night: carrots, raw beetroot, a few salad leaves and red peppers, feta and eggs. Sprinkled with basil and seasoned with the honey and mustard vinaigrette, the result is very surprising. […]
Potatoes Caesar Salad with bacon & eggs
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 […]
Caprese tart with pesto and mozzarella

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