This recipe was inspired by my brother Thomas. It all started when on the afternoon of December the 31st we called each other to chat, take news from each other, and discuss about out respective menus for the evening party dinner of New Year’s Eve.

Roasted Butternut with Zaatar and Tahini Sauce
Three Christmas trees ago, my dad offered me this fabulous cookbook, Jerusalem, by Yotam Ottolenghi. At that time, I had in mind that complex flavors necessarily meant complex recipes and techniques, but Ottolenghi proved me otherwise with this book.

Creamy Squash Soup
Winter is coming, they said. Hell, yeah! It’s freezing cold these days. And in the South of France, it is not a nice dry cold like the cold you can enjoy in the mountains. Nah, it’s the distasteful humid cold, the one that penetrates your bones and haunts the inside of your apartment’s walls for…

Homemade Lemonade

I’ve been seeing these Granola mixes made by other bloggers for ages, yet I haven’t gone through with making one of my own, until today, hooray!!! Recently watching one more of those Gordon Ramsay’s home cooking videos may have been the trigger (I think I can call myself a fan by now). I’ve seen him do…
