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 […]
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 […]
This is one of the last recipes I made right before starting this blog. It was one of these momentous moments that I like to look back upon thinking “it all led up to now”. I get nostalgic these days. Truly, this cornbread was so good and so easy to make that I’m pretty sure […]
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 […]
So I said I would come back with fresh and healthy recipes: there you go. If you’re of the mind that salmon is best eaten plain with just a bit of pepper and olive oil, I would agree. But I’ll also tell you that this corn salsa brightened up the dish in a very simple […]
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 […]
This is a great quick weeknight dinner inbetween all the Christmas cookies you’ve been baking. Oh, I’ve seen you, don’t try to hide it. I have to say, this time of year is when I realize I’m definitely not American: my latest try at cookies was just a disaster; though people seemed to like the […]
This is a simplified yet tasty version of cream of mushroom. And it’s homemade. And healthy. So don’t go complaining it’s not the real one, because it sounds pretty perfect to me. There are only two ways of making a soup creamy: either you add a lot of, well, cream, or you use potatoes. I […]
This is just so good there are no words. It’s exactly what a perfect recipe is about to me: a combination of strong yet not overwhelming flavors, which blend harmoniously on your palate, like they never have before. It’s like taking ingredients you use all the time, but suddenly rediscovering them because each is in […]
Can you believe that I haven’t posted one single rice recipe yet?? Sounds crazy to me. Admittedly, there are some crazier things in life, but I feel like I have been eating rice for the past 8 months, so what the hell happened there? To kick off the rice section on this blog, I give […]
