Summer on the table

It’s raining again… Instead of biking in the dunes as I had planned, I’m squatting the couch under a thick plaid, enjoying my 4th cup of fuming mint tea while dreaming of the sun of my provence. 

No way I’m going to let this rotten weather get on my mood today! So here’s a simple fish dish [...]

Frost, defrost, no-frost… brunch?

While my dutchie is a cycling freak and could spend hours looking and shopping for fancy expensive cycling gear, I, as a lazy gourmande, have something for fancy kitchen equipment… six pit stoves, professional gas-ovens, or just the kitchen aid department  at my favourite cook shop make my eyes shine with envy.

Today is the latest “Blog appetit” contest in the french culinary blogweb.

Have you ever had the impression of working in a sauna or should I say in hell? Well, today I did…  we have no airco at work and the sunscreen of my office just broke down: the thermometer often exceded the 31 C inside today! All that to say, that when I came home, I [...]

Somewhere between Morocco and Portugal!

Unfortunately, as I speak, I’m not on a cruise somewhere around the strait of Gibraltar. This post is not about geography, but once again about food! As if you had still any doubts about that. More precisely, it is about my latest culinary experiment: let me explain….
