Guacamole

Difficulty:

Preparation time: 15min.

Guacamole is a great appetizer of Aztec origin. It’s very popular here in Spain. It’s usually served as a dipping sauce for nachos, that you can buy in many different flavors. My favorites are the chili and cheese ones, but I especially like to mix different flavors in a bowl. What Bouchon really likes is to melt cheese on the nachos first.


I don’t like to buy Guacamole already prepared so much, because I think it’s too smooth and liquid. I prefer to prepare it myself, like this I can mix it as thoroughly as I want. Also it takes just a few minutes and doesn’t need cooking or anything!!

French Olive and Bacon Cake

Difficulty:

Preparation time: 60min.

I made this cake the other day when our friends Saskia and Lasse came over for dinner. It’s a specialty from Marseille, in the South of France. It’s easy to make, the only trick is to NOT add salt because the olives and the bacon are very salty already!

Broccoli and Blue Cheese Quiche

Difficulty:

Preparation time: 50min.

I like quiches for many reasons: they are a good option for preparing veggie meals, they are really fast to prepare and easy to make, they permit to get rid of leftovers, they can combine your favorite ingredients and most of all they are always successful because they look elaborate and taste good. I always try to keep some dough in the freezer, like this I know I can always fix a quiche in case of emergency! Although my excuse for making a quiche this time, was that I needed to use some of the broccoli that was getting bad in the fridge. I hope Bouchon will like it!!!

Spinach & Goat Cheese Pastries

Difficulty:

Preparation time: 40min.

Bouchon really loves “empanadas”, which are some kind of stuff bread or pastries. Empanadas are really typical in Hispanic countries, but I never saw any in France as much as I can remember. I never really liked them before because the only times I tried them was after going out late at night in Barcelona and buying them in the street from the beer dealers and as you can imagine, those ones are not really tasty…

But well I decided today to try to make some for the 1st time and see how that would go. It was much faster and easier than expected and the great thing is that you can fill them with basically anything you’d like! Here is the recipe of the ones I made today: Spinach Pastries.
