My mom sent me this recipe and what a great idea! The croissants were awesome, although it said on the recipe to use cottage cheese and I used grounded Gruyère instead. The only think I struggled with was the folding of the croissants so after a while I gave up and just made small pastries. It didn’t change the taste too much…

And another quiche! I thought it would be fun to try all the quiche recipes I could find. This one was supposed to be with gorgonzola cheese, but I didn’t have any so I thought let’s try with blue cheese instead. It was pretty good, a bit weird but definitely a keeper. I guess I’m gonna have to try it with gorgonzola another day anyway!!

This recipe is adapted from a book of verrine recipes. A “verrine” is a typically French confection that consists in layering different ingredients in a small glass (such as a shot glass) and that is usually consumed as a snack or appetizer. Verrines usually look great because you tend to create layers very different colors and textures. It has volume and it’s tasty if you know which ingredients work well with each others. I think that it’s an art that is difficult to master because you need to think about too many details and you have to be extra careful when pouring everything in the glass. But the result is usually worth it. Anyway, this beetroot cream was probably one of the easiest recipe of verrine and it was quite good too!

The idea for this onion quiche recipe comes from my friend Saskia, you made one for us the other day. I can’t remember exactly the ingredients she used to prepare her pie, but they have to be similar to the ones I describe here. At least, and for once, I managed to take a picture that isn’t that bad. I find it really hard to take pictures of quiches and pizzas!!

This is one of my favorite salads recipes, because I love the combination of dry fruits with cheese and I love the colors. I like to change the ingredients too, by adding slices of apples or honey on the goat cheese. The possibilities are endless… Try to use romaine lettuces for a better resistance to heat if you plan on eating the cheese before pouring it on the salad.

This recipe is a classic, although I have to admit that it was the first time I tried it. I prepared individuals cheese soufflés, although you can just make one big one. I think they are great to serve with a green salad as a starter or appetizer, but you can also serve them with meat and sauce. A variant would be to use a different cheese, such as blue cheese.

This is one of the few recipes I prepare that doesn’t have cheese in it! It’s a fresh and vegetarian pie, ideal for a light summer meal. It’s not difficult to prepare easier!

This post will be the first of many posts of pizza recipes. We both love pizza with Bouchon, and since they are easy to prepare, and almost always good, I think it’s a must have in your recipes books. I’ll try to post some new and originals ones, and mmmh sorry for those of you who don’t like cheese because it’s an essential ingredient on pizzas!!

Since it’s so hot here these days and we have a lot of vegetables from the garden, I made another refreshing soup which is eaten cold: the Vichyssoise. This origins of this soup are not exactly known, but it is French for sure!!

Gazpacho is a vegetables (mainly tomatoes) soup, originating from the South of Spain. It’s consumed cold, so it’s a perfect refreshing dish for hot summer days. There are many variations of gazpacho, but the one described here is the most typical (you can replace the tomatoes with avocados or cucumbers for a green version).
I want to thank my friend Claire for giving me the idea for this recipe!!
