The lovely Marilyne of @thesweethobby kindly gave me her mom’s recipe to share with you all. Step by step in my highlights, recipe below:Fig jam

Continue ReadingThis is the easiest pastry cream or crème pâtissière based on the recipe by @huckcafe. Many of you have asked me for it, after seeing me use it in the apricot tart. The cream was baked in that recipe but I wasn’t very happy with the final outcome. I’ll use it though as is in a baked tart shell and bake the fruits separately as it is utterly delectable.Recipe below:Makes about 3 cups (740grs)

Continue Reading3-ingredients lockdown sugar cookies- April 2020. If you look closely, beyond the smile and the red lipstick, you will see my worried eyes, trying to smile and be positive amidst a very weird (and super scary!) period of our lives. I was feeling super anxious at the beginning of the #pandemic, and found solace in the kitchen. I organized some virtual baking classes for my son’s classmates, as a way to bring the kids together and entertain the moms too. This recipe is super easy, require only 3 ingredients and was the perfect choice for a virtual cookie workshop with kids…

Continue ReadingTHE lazy cake. This super simple and delicious dessert will take you back to your childhood. Play dates or visits to Teta always included biscuit au chocolat_ or lady cake! What i love about this type of desserts is that you can forget it in the freezer and just whip it out last minute when the neighbors show up- or your cravings hit!! (Make sure to double wrap in aluminum foil to avoid freezer taste). My original lazy cake or biscuit au chocolat recipe was given to me by my darling @joellerached and the genius addition of malt powder is an idea…

Continue ReadingPoached chili salmon and potato salad with fresh sugar snap peas.Although this salad is quite basic, the crunch and the sweetness from the raw peas and the dressing makes it so special. If sugar snap peas aren’t available, another crunchy vegetable like kohlrabi will also work very well. I have also used ready poached salmon, but I promise I’ll try to make them and share the recipe. Feel free to use grilled halloumi or shrimps instead.
