Un voleur dans la cuisine – Mini gâteaux de polenta à la vanille et pêches rôties au rhum Who said that polenta only needs to be eaten in savory dishes?

Aussi chic qu’une robe Chanel – St jacques à la pomme verte et huile de vanille I have been obsessing about this green apple/scallop combination for weeks, and could not come up with something that I would be excited about.

Douceurs blanches dans un pot – Yaourts Figues-Vanille et Pomme-Kiwi I have been back to the US since last Friday and one thing that I already start missing is the yogurt. If you haven’t tried homemade yogurts, you haven’t tasted the goodness of what a real yogurt can be. I have always been [...]

Une gourmandise, car nous le valons bien – Crème caramel aux poires, vanille et eau de fleur d’oranger That goes not only for hair products, but for food too! Crème caramel or flan aux oeufs, or crème renversée, they’re all the same things. I think the English translation would be custard, but I [...]

Pensée pour ma meilleure amie – Gâteau de la fée aux miettes pour Chantal I woke up this morning with a text message from my best friend in France, Chantal.

A goût qui vient de loin – Crevettes sauce colombo et noix de coco sur riz Basmati épicé à la vanille The first interesting part of this dish is the rice…yes indeed.
