Veal Blanquette
Veal blanquette is a dish my parents used to cook on weekends when I was a child. I never did it myself before so I just realised why they only cooked this during the weekend: it takes 3h to cook! But it is so worth it… It is the perfect meal for the cold season, from the last days of Autumn, until the begining of Spring! Here is my recipe for 4 people. For the wine, I suggest you to chose one you will enjoy to drink with your meal, I choose a Chardonnay here. For the side dish, I cooked some rice (180 g cooked 10 minutes in the…

Everything has been made to get you into a rescheduled universe, like a time break where ancient beverages stand alongside retro video games; by the way, if you are coming on a special quizz party, you may meet Han Solo, Jon Snow or even Sherlock Holmes…!

Strawberries Meringue Cake
Finally we are approaching my favorite fruits season and to celebrate it, I have created my own dessert: a Strawberries Meringue Cake! If you try it, be advice that you will have a little more meringue and vanilla cream than needed to create the cake because I wasn’t sure about if I would like to cover the sides or not. You will need a blowtorch to burn the meringue and a circle cake pan between 20 and 25 cm size. Ingredients: 6 eggs 30 g flour T45 (+ 3 tablespoons) 165 g sugar (+ 3tablespoons) 40 cl milk 1 teaspoon liquid vanilla extract 5 g butter 6 strawberries Recipe: Prepare…

Mexican Tortillas
Want to cook home-made Mexican tortillas including the dough? Here is my recipe for a tasty tortilla a bit different from the original one. If we were not in quarantine when I made them, I would have probably changed a few things for the garnish but here, I did it with what I had at home. I have read 15-20 different recipes in french, english and spanish to compare the different ways to create and cook the dough, quantities, proportions of liquid and solid, cooking time, techniques… I finally made a mix getting inspired by my readings and what I thought would be good for me. Mexicans use masa harina…
