Fresh home-made food every day
While A. is on business trip while my days at work are super busy, I’m oscillating between experimenting new recipes and easy to prepare but very satisfying food such as cheesy toasts and ochazuke… In my experiments, the sweet potatoes gnocchi with a 100% sesame pairing was definitely a huge hit! It mixes perfectly a… Continue Reading →
Discovering again and again new vegetables… this one seems to be a new breed of sweet pepper… not that I am a fan of new breeds… there are so many existing that I am not sure to see the point… in the meantime that’s how many vegetables and fruits have been created… anyway I didn’t… Continue Reading →
When I make pasta for ravioli I always end up with a significant amount of pasta that has been floured and roll and is unsuitable for making ravioli again. It has become to dry. Usually I would just keep it that way, cut in squares and boil it or fry it as a little bonus… Continue Reading →

But it’s true that with new potatoes I love simple recipes when they are steam or pan fried. Yet there… Continue Reading →
Going to Paris in August is always a feast! The city is empty of angry Parisian and everything is smooth and nice. Of course there is no theatre show nor opera to see, little exhibitions and some shops and restaurants are closed for the summer holiday, but who cares? It’s the best time to visit… Continue Reading →
The fun part of living in the countryside and having a great garden that produces plenty of things independently is to exchange crops with neighbors, friends and colleagues and these past few days we’ve been exchanging a lot! It all started with plums… like last year I harvested about 20kg of plums and left the… Continue Reading →
Oh my god! In 4 days my lab at the university is moving and things have gotten a little bit out of control. I’m very lucky to have a great crowd of researchers and students to help prepare this big change. But the moving is just one thing among many many others that I have… Continue Reading →
