Chocolate Tart by Alain Ducasse

What better than a slice of Chocolate tart ? I don’t think much !
I am in the mood for some comfort food and there are so many chocolate tart recipes out there. I’ve never been a big fan of them, until tasting this very special recipe.

It’s a recipe that I got at my former job – at Alain Ducasse. For those who don’t know who Alain Ducasse is, he’s a renown French chef, with over 15 michelin stars in some of his many restaurants around the world.

It wasn’t just any foot massage, they have a really original and soothing ritual like I’d never seen before. What’s cool is…

Gluten free Raspberry coconut cake

These past months I’ve been discovering the gluten free trend due to some stomach problems I’ve been having. I did a one-month trial without gluten in my diet, and I must say I felt overall better. Who knows if I’m really intolerant to gluten, that’s a whole other topic, but as long as I feel good that’s enough for me! I’m one of those girls with bloating tummies after a delicious meal, which isn’t great for your looks 🙂 and goodness we all know how much I love my food!

Anyway, off I go to my local organic supermarket “La Vie Claire” to chat with the sales girl about alternative flour and nutriments for a gluten free diet, and even for vegan diets. I ended up home with 3 kinds of flours, chia seeds (seeds that I had never eaten nor cooked in…
