Trying a lot of new recipes means that you're going to prepare some dishes you'll adore and others that you will never do again. Nevertheless, I love testing new recipes because I'm always searching for my new favourite dish. Finding a great recipe that you want to make again and again makes all the other misses worthwhile.
Here's a list...
At the last-minute on Christmas day, I was trying to decide what dessert to make for a reception on the same day. Then, I remembered a delicious dark chocolate tart I once raved about in a café and decided to replicate it using what I had in my pantry.
Here's my lazy version of a chocolate ganache tart in three simple...
I don't have a sweet tooth. However, in the holiday season, I want Christmas cookies. I just have to eat some. This year, I will be on vacation during the holidays for the first time in years and I plan to cook a lot of cookies, in my pajamas, while listening to Christmas music. Some classics (and guilty pleasures) are just...
I don't know about you, but for the holidays, I have four potlucks planned. Therefore, I was in desperate need of ideas. Consulting my good friend Pinterest, there were a few dishes that caught my attention. They looked delicious, easy and not too much trouble to carry.
Healthy, 4-ingredients salmon cucumber rolls:
2. A fancy spinach, pecan, apple and feta salad:
3. A...
We know that it's Thanksgiving and that it's getting colder outside. However, that doesn't mean you will see me eating turkey and stew every day. Instead, today's suggestion for a light lunch/dinner is all pretty colors and Asian flavors.
You will find the recipes for this balanced dish below.
The marinated tuna with a sriracha mayo is from Chew out loud.
The spicy edamame...
Canadians do have Thanksgiving and yes, it’s one month earlier than the American one. Being grateful for the year’s harvest comes earlier up here simply because it gets colder sooner. In Québec, this holiday is called Action de grâce and is less widely celebrated. Therefore, as a French Canadian, I’ve never had a Thanksgiving meal in my life. Having...
Following a trip to the orchard, I made some delicious apple pies this weekend.
The first was a traditional version. You can find the recipe here. The recipe is pretty specific about the type and quantity of apple you have to use. However, I didn't follow this instruction and the result was still very tasty. The goal was to use what...
Today, after a very dark period during which I thought I could never love again, I finally found the strength within myself to give eggplants another chance. (Yes, that is a very dramatic way of phrasing it.)
Eggplant is not a vegetable I grew up with and the two times I had tried it, I didn’t like it at all....
Tired of the same old recipes for apple season? Here are some ideas to mix it up a little. Classics like apple butter and apple pie are indeed delicious. However, it can be fun to try something different from time to time. From apple sangria to apple nachos, here are my suggestions for apple recipes that are perfect for...
This week was my sister’s 29th birthday and, for the occasion, I bit a little more than I could chew. Because I am not very into sweets, I don't cook a lot of desserts and am not particularly good at it. However, as I wish to get out of my comfort zone in the kitchen, I set myself a...
