Those delicious chocolate creams have an incredible texture, dense and unctuous at the same time, and have the advantage of being baked without eggs, without milk or any diary product nor refined sugar. Chocolate, silken tofu and agave syrup. Great for vegans and chocolate lovers...
It’s - already! - the blog’s third anniversary. For the occasion, I wanted to bake a special cake that represents typical French home cooking.
Scallops briefly fried with a delicious creamy citrus sauce and to give a little twist, homemade chorizo breadcrumbs. The proof that an incredible dish can be very easy to make.
Biscuit (or rusk, biscottis) with no dairy product, nor fat. And gluten free. Biscuit means baked twice to be stored longer. Here nicely flavoured with orange and nutmeg or cinnamon. Ideal for afternoon tea or breakfast. Quick and easy.
Ideal to be grabbed as an aperitif or even served as started, this gorgeous sun tart is generously garnished with spinach and ricotta cheese.
Decadent French crêpes, very thin pancakes, served in a delicious orange and caramel sauce, frambé with Grand Marnier orange alcohol. This is the common recipe, you’ll read in the story that the traditional one is with mandarin butter and not flambéed.
This savory tart really changes from classic quiches. Smocked haddock flavours are incredible but not too strong. Here with leeks and onions but you can choose to bake this with other vegetables.
For those looking for a gluten-free gourmet recipe, or for hazelnut ... and chocolate lovers. Be careful, it’s addictive!
This great classic of French pastry, usually baked with vanilla is here flavoed with safron. It's delicious served with chocolate cake, or used for fancy snow eggs.
Quick and easy, the French just love to serve flavored sauces with meat. Here a creamy chervil sauce with veal but it actually works well with poultry such as chicken.
Those savory pancakes made with chickpea flour (thus gluten free & Vegan) come from Marseille, South-France Provence. Few ingredients and many different dishes possibles
This is a cake that the French kids make all the time. Tasted 100s of times this is the ultimate French yogurt cake recipe, quick & easy. My trick: I use to add pears and dark chocolate.
The French just love the combination of blue cheese and pears. Intensity and sweetness at the same time. Here with some nuts and a bit of honey. It’s delicious crispy, served warm with a green salad.
Delightfully crunchy with a nice golden color on the outside, chewy and moist in the middle, This recipe is so quick and easy, with only 3 ingredients. I give you the classic French recipe of what we call "coconut rocks" in French.
Simply infuse peaches in a vanilla syrup and serve with vanilla ice cream and raspberry sauce. A delight! I give you the original recipe as created by French Famous Chef Auguste Escoffier and tell you why it’s called Melba.
A delicious blackcurrant sauce with a hint of balsamic vinegar, and a little trick to perfectly cook your duck breast fillets, so that they are sooo tender. Did you know that duck is on of French's favourite meat.
A summer staple so quick and easy to prepare. Mint does bring even more fresh hint to this soup, tastier served chilled. Great to sip with a drink in shot glasses before dinner or as first course.
This is my own interpretation of the delicious Mexican guacamole, with a French twist. Avocadoes are mixed with tomatoes, schalots or spring onions, lime, fresh cilantro and for the spice: the French piment d'Espelette / Espelette chilli pepper. But you can make this recipe with chili or Cayenne pepper.
Just imagine. Homemade jam, spread on fresh French baguette. A delight ! Made with tasty ripe melons, I’ve added vanilla to give a round mouth feel and lime for a little twist. A great flavor combination for incredible breakfasts.
