Sweet Potato & Salmon Lasagna

What I love about cooking the most is the social gathering that it creates, and how you can get cooking ideas from anyone. Sometimes those are the best recipes and they can be a great source of inspiration. We tend to stay in our comfort zones when cooking, we get used to the same ingredients, the same dishes, the same habits. Seeing how others around you cook can bring perspective to your own habits.

This slightly modified recipe was given to me by one of my greatest friends that I call Anna Banana. She invited me to her place one evening and made this for me, with butternut squash instead of the sweet potatoes.

You can say it’s just a simple modified Lasagna recipe, and I agree, it totally is. But have you thought of making it? It…

Avocado Poke Bowl

I just got back from a 3-day weekend in Agadir, Morroco and I feel the need to purify my body from gluten and fatty foods! eek !!
So here it goes with the famous Poke Bowl that I’ve been dying to try for months now. This recipe has been trendy for over a year now in the US and Japan. The Poke Bowl comes from Hawaii and is similar to the Japanese dish Chirashi. It can be made with different ingredients such as mango, cashew or macadamia nuts.

The “real” recipe calls for tuna, avocado, seaweed, green onions, ginger and rice.
All these ingredients really are great and full of good calories. In some countries rice is almost mandatory in every meal and is synonym to eating well. But you can learn alot about different types…

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. One of the perks of working for a great chef, is that you get to learn a lot about cooking, and of course benefit from all of his recipes.

This Chocolate tart was imagined by one of Alain Ducasse’s chefs Christophe Martin working at the restaurant of ‘La Bastide de Moustiers’,…

Honey Matcha Latte

I’ve been obsessed with Matcha tea for a few months now. I first tasted it when I was on vacation in Maine last summer. It was an amazing experience that I will never forget. We had been road tripping through New England for a few days, and were meeting up with family in a country house in Maine.
Before arriving at our destination, we stopped for one night in Portland, Maine. First let me just say, what a beautiful seaside city.
I was pooped by all the walking we had been doing the past few days, and felt like getting a massage. The hotel we stayed in got me an appointement in this cute little foot massage and teahouse called ‘Soakology’. 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…
