Pairing of Beet and Mâche — Des betteraves et de la mâche
April 19, 2007
Beet Cake and Mâche Salad
I know well that what I am doing is terrible. I am leaving you abandoned, a lot, like orphans without recipes. Please pardon me (pardonnez-moi, allez !), but I do not have much time to write these days. There are moments in life like this, aren’t there? Or maybe I have nothing to say (alors là, ce n’est pas possible, not possible! as my papa would say).
In the meantime, I am not leaving you with nothing. Enjoy these with your eyes, I hope at least.
This appetizer is one of my mother in law’s favorite, as she reminds me often!
And, can you tell I like mâche?

I absolutely love beets! It’s okay that there aren’t any recipes lately (hopefully you’ll have some time to write later), for now we can just feed our eyes. I think that’ll keep me happy for a little while since it looks good.

But of course we forgive you. Comme nous pardonnons à ceux qui nous ont offensés and all that. But you will give us this recipe, right?

Oooh I’m working with beetroot today too, different recipe though.
These look great, do you grow your own mâche? Or are you fortunate to find it this gorgeous and fresh when shopping? Wonderful presentation as always!

Ce qui est toujours étonnant chez toi c’est que meme des aliments qui sont pas forcément “sexy” le deviennent entre tes mains
Belle journée

Bea! You absolutely have to find the time to write the recipes soon! I am so tempted to try out the mango mousse dessert. And these beets! The colours are just so beautiful. I bet they taste marvellous too! =)
Keep cooking!

very vibrant colors! I’m curious as to what mache is? Please tell me when you have some time

I id something similar with beets this fall and it was delicious. But what is the orange part?That’s all I need to know and I think I can make something similar…

Gorgeous! And we don’t need a recipe — this looks like goat cheese, beets, and mache. Do you find it easy to get gold beets where you are?
These are like jewels. Fabulous.

Mais de quoi t’ excuses-tu ? Tu écris presque tous les jours sur ton blog ! J’aimerais être aussi productive que toi !!

la mache??? where did you get that in the US? I miss it so much….among other foods. Thats it, you inspired me, from now on I am going to market and buying one new thing in season and doing something with it, once a week. I have to start small otherwise i will just envy you forever.

Oui, j’adore la mache ! Surtout ainsi présentée !
Comment by Fabienne — On April, 20th, 2007 at 2:54 pm
whaouh! ta photo est trop alléchante! de la mâche ainsi présentée, j’en veux bien….

I know what you mean…sometimes I just stare blank on my computer screen and nothing comes out, nada, no words, nothing inspiring to say, no stories to tell.
Writing is tough and not so much fun. Cooking, taking pictures are more fun. Hehe.

These appetizers are so fresh and colored ! I was wondering wath the orange slice is taken from… but that must be yellow beet, isn’t it ? I’d like to taste but I’ve never seen those beets (I live in South of France)…

Hi Bea…I am from Hong Kong. I found the baking stuffs and the photos in your blog are remarkable. May I ask what kind of camera and related equipments are you using when you took these photos?
Thanks!

Thank you all very much. Busy busy on my end indeed. Back to normal soon, hopefully!
To answer the questions, the yellow layer is golden beet, delicious. I am lucky to find them very easily in Boston.
