Do you ever feel like you’re here but you’re not really here? I don’t know, this week has been sort of like that for me, in a good way mostly, since I felt completely disconnected from my duties. It feels good sometimes not to care. Usually, if I don’t post for more than 3 days, […]
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 […]
I finally made my New York cheesecake. I took me a while to figure it out, but after making cheesecake for several years, I got what was wrong with every single recipe I followed: they didn’t involve 5 whole packages of cream cheese. That’s the clue to a towering cheesecake, that’s the key to my […]
I had been craving raspberries. Fresh raspberries to be more specific. I needed to make a cake for work — that happens. I thought: “Hey! Let’s make a raspberry cake!” Life sounds so simple sometimes. I was so happy to finally have a reason to buy the overpriced raspberries that had been eyeing me on […]
My posts have been few and far between around here, and the truth is I don’t even have an objectively good reason for this. True, I was abroad last week and without an internet connection, but that had happened before, and never prevented me from posting regularly in the past 13 months. Maybe the magic […]
I had seen several versions of avocado pasta around the blogosphere, but I hadn’t bothered to try until I rekindled my romance with avocado with these chocolate avocado puddings. They were so stellar (and so not weird at all) that it made me want to experiment with it again. Somehow, avocado never disappoints, and this pesto […]
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 […]
I know it’s not over yet, but January has already proved plentiful, albeit thorny. That’s usually how it goes: you can’t get away with only the good stuff. What’s the good stuff these days, you ask? Mainly that this month has become the one with the most visits since I opened this little blog (almost […]
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 promised healthier food next week, well next week is starting today. How about that. I need it to start right now because it’s too painful to wait around until Monday. Monday means I have to go back to work. Back to reality. Back to the European gray winter. That’s right, I said Europe. I […]
