November 2, 2007

Class Projects
What happens when you put sixteen women, a few men and a Peanut dog in a photography studio in L.A. for a 3-day class? You are intrigued and curious at first when you arrive, you start the class somewhat shy, but by the end of the three days, you are feeling so at ease [...]

I was gutsy — J’ai osé

Smoked Salmon, Goat Cheese, Poppy Seed Macarons
When a few weeks ago, Akiko kindly gave me a copy of one of the latest cookbooks she did the photography for — Macarons — I was excited and perplexed too. As much as I like to admire the aesthetics of macarons, I am never going to go crazy [...]

Reine des Reinette Apple and Cranberry Cake

She does not know it yet but Clotilde is really the one who initiated this story. Her curiosity triggered mine.

Indian Lamb Curry
Already here? Thanksgiving is only one day away, and I am realizing avec horreur that I will not have the time to post a recipe. Bad me! I hope you will forgive me. I will be cooking indeed. Not the full Thanksgiving dinner though — maybe you need to be born American to [...]

Indian Lamb Curry
Sometimes, only the glimpse of a stunning picture noticed in a travel and food magazine, or the visual memory of a colorful scene remembered from a movie or documentary, makes me want to pack my bags, and travel far away. It actually happens often. I keep a list of sub-folders on my laptop [...]

Coconut Tapioca Puddings
“What’s for dessert?”
Do you hear this as often as I do? I have friends who never eat dessert. “Ils sont malades ?”
Actually, my dad is one. He occasionally eats dessert, of course, like everyone else, also because sometimes, he does not have the choice. But at the same time, he is not too [...]
