French Olive and Bacon Cake

Difficulty: difficulty leveldifficulty leveldifficulty level

Preparation time: clock 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!

Green Beans with Bacon

Difficulty: difficulty leveldifficulty leveldifficulty level

Preparation time: clock 10min.

This is a dish you can prepare in a few minutes. I use it as main dish usually but you can also serve it as a side dish, with meat for example, or accompanied by potatoes. It’s not a fancy recipe, but it’s simple.

Baked Potatoes with Camembert and Honey

Difficulty: difficulty leveldifficulty leveldifficulty level

Preparation time: clock 40min.

I tried to find a word to say “gratin” in English, but the only translation I found was “sliced potatoes baked with milk and browned on top”. It’s not really a gratin per say because it doesn’t have cream or milk, but it’s really similar. So well, this recipe is based on potatoes and cheese. It HAS to be tasty !! Do I have to add that it’s way easy?!

Spinach Lasagna

Difficulty: difficulty leveldifficulty leveldifficulty level

Preparation time: clock 60min.

Today’s recipe is “Spinach Lasagna”. This recipe is vegetarian and can be modified and adapted to your taste easily. It’s one of the plates we love to eat with Bouchon, because his father brings us fresh and ecofriendly spinaches from his vegetable garden and we both love pasta and cheese. Also we are trying to eat vegetarian (and healthy and diet…) as much as possible, but it’s not always easy to find tasty veggie recipes. I think this one is a must in the category!!



Check it out and let me know if you like it!

Noodles with Vegetables

Preparation time: clock 30min.

Today, I will show you how to realize this recipe of noodles with vegetables. It’s vegetarian and tasty, and really easy to make, although it might take time to cut all the vegetables. The variety of vegetables you combine with the noodles is really up to your taste, but I’ll show you an example with this recipe of noodles that I prepared especially to combine a lot of colors. The more colors you add, the more tasty it looks!

Chicken and Beef Couscous with Vegetables

Difficulty: difficulty leveldifficulty leveldifficulty level

Preparation time: clock 2h30min.

The other day, I invited our friend Etienne to have some homemade Couscous. It’s not particularly fancy or anything but I like to prepare couscous when I invite people because everybody usually likes it, and since it’s so long to prepare, it is pretty much the same to prepare for 2 persons than for 5 (and you can keep the leftovers for the next day). Moreover, dishes like couscous that are long to prepare are unusual because nobody wants to spend 3 hours cooking nowadays. The secret is that it takes actually only about 30 minutes to cut the vegetables. The rest is basically waiting for the meal to cook itself. So well, what I am trying to say, is that we don’t eat couscous everyday so better enjoy it! Now let’s see if the lucky guests liked it?!

Broccoli and Blue Cheese Quiche

Difficulty: difficulty leveldifficulty leveldifficulty level

Preparation time: clock 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!!!
