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 was my first time preparing roast chicken and it wasn’t hard at all, unlike what I expected. It’s quite plain and a bit dry but that’s the thing with grilled chicken, unless you really dip it in oil and we don’t really want that now do we!!

This recipe of chocolate fondant is for 2 persons. You have to make them individuals and you’ll need muffins tins for that. Chocolate fondants are usually served hot, either on their own, either with custard or whipped cream. You can dust them with icing sugar or icing cocoa. What I like the most is to serve with them with ice cream because I love the hot/cold sensation!

Today I wanted to try a new cake recipe, and I have to admit that I didn’t like that one so much. It sucks because I really loved the idea of mixing cheese, rosemary and honey, 3 ingredients that I LOVE. Plus the rosemary has this power of making feel good, like on vacation in the South of France… So anyway I don’t know what happened. Maybe I forgot an ingredient?

I like truffles a lot but I can only eat 2 or 3 max every 6 months… I mean it’s too much chocolate at once isn’t it?! I checked on Wikipedia and it says they were invented both by John Labarge in 1625, and Antoine Dufour in 1895. I don’t know which is true, so well congrats to you both I guess!!

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 chocolate mousse recipe is really fast and easy and you can use as a base to create many other desserts, for example combining it with orange custard, pear gelatin, etc. I think it should be enough for 6 people!
