This is not strictly speaking cilantro tabbouleh, it’s more like a pretty standard parsley tabbouleh with cilantro added. Get it? Good. I wouldn’t want any confusion as to the parsley to cilantro ratio, that could get awkward. It’s easy here: it’s 1:1. I’ve had a lot of pretty mediocre tabbouleh in my life, considering that […]
Behold the recipe of the future. By future I mean future me. The me that will soon be over pasta every other day-or-some-kind-of-refined-carbs-to-get-me-through-the-day. Who am I kidding, I’m never going to be that person; but in the meantime it’s nice to know I can take a break from pasta and couscous sometimes, to focus on […]
If you’re like me, you love crab cakes, but you never make them at home, because the price of a small can of crab at the store drives you nuts. So you settle for the good old diner crab cake now and then. Except when you live in Paris. Then, it proves slightly harder to […]
There were 15 pounds of a whole fresh salmon to be divided among all the members of the family. No, no, I don’t live in Nova Scotia, I live in Paris. Like, inside Paris. True story. That’s how we roll in the family. So I got my (substantial) share of the family salmon, and I […]
These are actually “cakes” the way crab cakes or corn cakes are cakes, not the other way. You know? I can see why it would be confusing, given all the pumpkin cake recipes out there. However I realized recently why I had so much trouble finding a pumpkin recipe that I really wanted to make: […]
I’m totally in a bulgur streak these days. You’ll see what I mean by the end of the week. I don’t know much about nutrition, but I have a sneaky feeling when you’re trying to eat healthy, bulgur is the right way to go if your number one goal is to stay away from pasta. […]
I love my new tartlet pans. So far I’ve used them for two recipes, neither of which were tartlets. Can you tell I’m a rebel? I’d never made frittata, and I have to admit, they do taste much lighter than the traditional omelette, which I was never wowed by. Here it might also have to […]
How are you holding on with the whole detox-diet-new year’s resolution scheme? Yeah, me neither. I keep giving you fairly healthy recipes, but really in between I eat A LOT of butter and sugar. Not just like that, more like hidden into perfectly delicious little treats. I’ll show them to you sometime. This soup though, […]
I wanted to make mac and cheese. Someone said it was too heavy. Someone started fussing and telling me that we had to cut back on unhealthy food. Still, I wanted mac, at least, if I wasn’t going to get cheese. So I didn’t get cheese, but I got a colorful and quite healthy recipe […]
Yeah, so, you know how a lot of those Asian thingies are served with a dipping sauce on the side? My eyes must not have been well open that day, because I simply added all the dipping sauce ingredients TO the meatballs. Like to the meat and stuff. When I realized that (long after they […]
