Gazpacho

Difficulty:

Preparation time: 2h30min.

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!!

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!!

Baked Potatoes with Camembert and Honey

Difficulty:

Preparation time: 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?!

Chicken and Beef Couscous with Vegetables

Difficulty:

Preparation time: 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?!

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.
