Pear & Hazelnut Financier cakes

Having a healthy lifestyle for me is not just sticking to diets, non-fattening foods and doing physical activity, it’s so much more.

The way I’ve decided to live this past year (and hopefully for many years to come) is by actually listening to my body before undergoing anything. Most times that means eliminating junk out of my diet, but sometimes that also means adapting my diet according to how my health and body is at a specific moment, season or according to my current goals.
I’d also say it’s by combining my emotional state with my physical one, making them one. You might have heard of the expression “You are what you eat”, well it’s precisely how I feel about everything I put on or in my body lately. You may ask yourself why I am going this far, or maybe you…

Chambelland’s gluten free Granola

Chambelland the best gluten free Granola in Paris

Chambelland is my favorite Gluten free Bakery in Paris. I find their gluten free bread & granola to be the best I’ve ever eaten by far – making me almost forget a good baguette.

Situated in the Popincourt neighbourhood of the 11th district of Paris, it was the first gluten free bakery to open in Paris by Nathaniel Doboin and Thomas Teffri-Chambelland and has even become a number one choice for high-end Parisian restaurants such as Alain Ducasse’s 3-michelin starred restaurant Alain Ducasse au Plaza Athénée.

When creating what seemed to be a crazy project a few years back, the two owners wanted to provide a unique bakery experience, 100% natural and gluten free. They didn’t hesitate to go all in to make the best quality products possible – and went ahead and built their own mill in the…

Almond & Medjool date Tart

Today’s recipe – Almond & Medjool date tart – is perfect for vegans and gluten free adopters, or for those with a curious mind and looking for recipes that are healthy and not full of overly processed ingredients.
I avoid eating gluten as much as I can, because I’ve finally realized after years of struggling with stomach & digestive issues as well as major bloating – that I am intolerant to it. I love a good baguette, and I love pizza & pasta… so I still eat all of those things once in a while, but not daily anymore. It really changed my life and I feel so much better.

There are a lot of alternatives to gluten for our diets, and some really interesting and tasty ones like Almond flour.
Hard to find in Paris, I buy it online on…

Vanilla Chia Pudding Bowl

Chia Seeds are my favorite Superfood. Another discovery from my local organic supermarket “La Vie Claire”. The saleswomen was telling me how it is used in Vegan recipes to replace the eggs. I’m no Vegan, but I had seen a lot of these in breakfast recipes in the past so I felt like trying them out.

Below you’ll find a recipe for Vanilla Chia Pudding. It’s the easiest recipe I’ve ever made, it literally takes 3 minutes. I always follow one rule in my cooking, and that is to first get acquainted with the product before getting into a new recipe I may fail due to lack of knowledge on the product.

So I read up, and here is what I found on Chia seeds: these tiny little grains are able to drink impressive quantities of liquid, allowing them to not…

A heart to share by Le Chocolat Alain Ducasse

I don’t often talk about my favorite places to eat out or my favorite brands. I’m going to try and focus a little bit more on that in the next few months because I have a lot to share with you – and I’d love for you guys to send me some of your recommendations too !

Today I want to talk about Le Chocolat Alain Ducasse, which is my favorite chocolate. Since it’s Valentine’s day soon and they just came out with this unique creation designed by the Artistic Director Pierre Tachon : the ‘Heart to share’, I thought it would be a good occasion to give this creation a taste. I won’t lie, I have a soft spot for Alain Ducasse and everything he does since I worked for him up until last year… but…
