Perchè no? – Zucca spaghetti con pesto ai carciofini Crushing these gorgeous baby artichokes into a pesto broke my heart. I have always wanted to make artichoke pesto but never really managed to turn the artichokes into a paste. They’re so cute and delicious as hearts that really putting them [...]

De retour en Provence – Tian Provençal et tartine de tapenade Tian is a traditional dish from Provence, and should be made in a clay dish…since I just broke mine, I had to use a Pyrex one. The vegetables are sliced thinly, placed upright and cooked in the oven for a long time. You can add goat [...]

Une chèvre dans la cuisine – Gratin de chou fleur et poireaux au lait de chèvre I forgot how DMV can be a nightmare, waiting for your number 389 when the current number is 210 can be the story of an afternoon.

Petit navet, viens par ici – Navets farcis au champignons, épinards, roquefort et noix Aren’t those irresistible? Turnips tend to be forgotten as a vegetable, even though often used in soups. In France we eat turnips in so many ways, and we even use their leaves in soups. I love turnips, they [...]

Un cousin éloigné de la paella végétarienne – Riz brun au saffran et méli mélo de petits légumes It’s time for some rice…rice and potatoes are two ingredients I rarely use, French people eat a LOT of potatoes, at my parents my mom rarely made them, Italians are more pasta eaters than potato [...]

Est-ce vraiment Israélien? – Matfoul aux légumes et curry I discovered this type of couscous in the US. I had never seen it before, so I started experimenting with it when I had some Israeli clients. I was so happy I found something “Israeli” to cook for them, but when they told me it was not [...]

Due amici in padella – Radicchio di Chioggia e carciofi in teglia Radicchio al forno is a typical Northern Italian dish. I somehow added a little touch to it, by adding artichokes and topping it all with breadcrumbs, garlic and parsley. Artichokes and radicchio go perfectly well together, the [...]

Un basmati pas comme les autres – Basmati rouge corail aux crevettes, fanes de moutarde et pois I think by now I must have tried almost all the different kinds of rice on the market, going from basic to fancy.
