That’s right, not two days out of the “gluten-free week” and already back to my old habits. I guess they die hard. Carbs + red meat + melted cheese? Yes please. Oh, sorry, no, I shouldn’t, it’s not good for me. I say the hell with it: sometimes, you just need comfort food, and you’re […]
Here’s the perfect little side dish that went perfectly with Wednesday’s chicken. To be fair, it would go perfectly with anything, or even nothing — that’s how I like it best. I had it with a bit of the yogurt sauce I had prepared for the chicken, and it was all I needed to make […]
I don’t want to get political, but I feel like it would be nice to see the adjective “Palestinian” somewhere other than the papers or the news… When I was in Jordan this summer, I had amazing food everyday, most of which was Palestinian (there are a lot of Palestinian refugees in Jordan, hence their […]
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 […]
I want to say I loved this recipe, but don’t I love them all? I don’t know, just look at these bright colors, read the super healthy-yet-original-but-still-pretty-easy-to-come-by ingredient list, and tell me if you’re not sold. I know I was the second I came across this recipe. Plus, think of the last few days of […]
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 […]
Right, today is Valentine’s Day, but I had planned an Indonesian beef curry, so Indonesian beef curry it is. After all, maybe your loved one would like to celebrate Indonesian style? Or maybe he/she would like to be reminded what it’s like to be far far away from a dreary February day? Who knows. I […]
The first year I lived in the US, I used to spend quite a bit of time in New Orleans. I had a friend who lived there, and to say I envied her is an understatement. Every time I got off the plane after 2 insane connecting flights from all the way up in upstate […]
World Nutella Day is over people, let’s get back to reality. Slowly but surely. Let’s try not to make it too painful. I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but I like to have side dishes as a main course, a LOT. It might have to do with the fact that I don’t really cook a […]
So I did break down and finally made pasta. It was a planned breakdown, of course. Pasta always comes back into my life, like a boomerang. We can’t be apart for too long. This time, I had a bit of pumpkin puree to use up (big up to Eddie), and after reading through a gazillion […]
