Dal Makhani with Naans, India.

Are we really getting our share fare of Iron through our weekly meals? Are we not wrongly thinking that red meat is our only option and that veggies only bring vitamins and fibers? I’ve recently come across numerous blog posts related to the concept of Meatless Monday. If you don’t know what the Meatless Monday…

First of all, did you know my first cookbook got published? It contains several other recipes for breads among other foods. It’s called Cookbook #1: A French Girl’s Cooking Adventures in Her Kitchen, and it’s available online, you’re just a click away, RIGHT HERE! Who has never been craving for…

Spicy Chicken with Cashew Nuts, Thailand.

A trip to Thailand always is synonymous with Wonders. Tonight, as we have done about once a week since last year, we fell again for what became a habit in our house: cooking Thai food. We can’t help it, this food is just too good to be real. At the moment, our favorite is the Spicy…

Oven Baked Grey Snapper with Caribbean sauce, Turks and Caicos Islands.

Tonight I traveled to Turks and Caicos Islands. What better destination than the Caribbeans when winter has finally come to southern Europe and all I already dream about is getting my first sunburn of 2016?! It’s amazing how blogging is bringing me so much fun and opportunities for discovering things I would probably never try otherwise. It’s…

Lemongrass Chicken, Vietnam.

Tonight I was in the mood for travelling to Vietnam. And so I did, I traveled to Vietnam! As simple as that, only it was not necessary to run to the airport and hop on the first plane to Hanoi or Saigon (as quite some of my friends and acquaintances have done recently), I just had to…

Shabbath-Brioche-Inspired Savory Bread with Fresh Parsley

This Friday night, I set to myself the goal of breaking the routine and trying something new with my traditional Shabbath bread. The weekly hand-kneading is a moment of happiness for me, as it helps to release the pressure of the week by focusing on something physical yet spiritual too. From what I know, it…

My Husband, this adorable guy. This talented dude who excels in precision, exactitude, thorough tasks, and blows me away every time he tries and succeeds in something new for his first time. I love him. Babe, I love you! You make me happy everyday because of who you are, and now you start to make me…

Hot-Dog, Colorado.

A few weeks back, I have thrown to myself the challenge of cooking more world food and experimenting this new type of travels through food tests, from my own kitchen, with no plane tickets in hand but a whisk, a saucepan or a spatula instead. My plan is a World Tour, but I also have decided to…

Eggplant & Bressaola Rolls in a Mason Jar

Today is my birthday, and I am as well celebrating 6 months of blogging (yay!). Being born on January the 3rd, I am used to getting birthday presents along with Christmas presents, in December. For fun, today, I have made a present to myself by jarring up one of my favorite entrees, Italian-style. It’s my…
