Cooking the French classics is something I´ve been passionate about long before I moved to France. Though I´ve tried many, I´m far from knowing them all, but I know that some dishes will always be close to my heart, no matter what. Blanquette de veau is one of them. The recipe is long, but simple.

Bergamot luck
I was so delighted to find bergamots at the market lately, or rather they found me, making their way into my basket disguised as organic lemons. Not really paying attention, that´s what I mistook them for. Back home I realized what little golden gems I had purchased – bergamots aren´t so easy to get, and […]

Now that we´ve entered November, every day can be the last now before the […]
