Chicken & Eggplant red curry

After a few weeks spent in France, I'm back in Oz! I'm very excited as I had a big crush on this country on my first stay a few months ago in Margaret River. I will now stay in Sydney until Christmas. The only downside is that I'm staying in an appartement-hotel....

Laksa

I first discovered Laksa 3 months ago, when I ordered it for dinner at Settlers Tavern in Margaret River. It's a rich coconut based asian spicy noodle soup with (in this version) chicken and shrimps. It's full of flavors and full of colors! :) This soup...

Homemade pecans, almonds & honey granola

I don't like granolas from supermarket. They are often too sweet, are lacking nuts and sometimes contains weird ingredients like glucose syrup or palm oil. Last year I discovered how easy it was to make granola in one of Jamie Oliver's books. Nothing...

Gnocchi with roasted pumpkin, rosemary & garlic brown butter sauce

Altough I'm in Sydney right now, I still wanted to celebrate Thanksgiving. What I enjoy the most in holidays is the cooking part so I couldn't miss it. So what's specific to Thanksgiving? Pumpkins? Cranberries? Turkey? I didn't want to bake a whole Turkey....

Coca-cola chocolate cake

I've always wanted to cook with coke since I saw Nigella Lawson cooking a chicken with coca-cola. I haven't tried the chicken yet but the chocolate cake seemed like a good alternative. This cake was fun to make. The addition of coke is a nice change from...

Banana bread

Banana bread is a classic. I use to make this recipe with some chocolate chips. But my lovely boyfriend prefers it without chocolate in it. With the chocolate it tastes more like a dessert than a piece of cake you would have for breakfast. So it all depends...

Before moving to the USA I never had a sugar cookie covered with royal icing before. It sounds and look way to sweet for me and we don't have them in France anyway. Whereas in America you can find them everywhere for Christmas, Haloween, Easter.... every...

Totally chocolate chip cookies

I am a huge fan of Nigella Lawson. I remember watching her show "Nigella bites" on CuisineTV 10 years ago and I've followed her ever since. Every other cook show we had in France on TV before was "Bon appetit bien sur" with Joel Robuchon.or "La cuisine...

Almonds & cherry cupcakes

Those cupcakes are more almonds cupcakes with a cherry on top than a cherry & almond cupcake as the only cherry taste comes from the cherries I used on top of them to decorate. If you want your cupcakes to have a much flavorful taste of cherries maybe...

Rosemary & Kalamata olives focaccia

If you think that bread is hard to make you should start with baking a focaccia. Focaccias are the equivalent of our french Fougasses. The texture is similar to pizza doughs but thicker and topped with sea salt, herbs and sometimes cheeses or even meat...

Carrot cupcakes

I love carrot cakes. Unfortunately we don't have them in France. Not at all, except in some few British/American pastry shops in Paris. One of my great pleasure back in France was to go to London for a week end and eat as much carrot cakes as possible......
