Sunday Comfort Breakie Bowl

The return of summer weather is, for me, synonym for the return of smoothie bowls as breakfast! I usually prepare them on Sundays, when I don’t work, and have time to take time. Take time to wake up, walk down to the kitchen, take out all of my ingredients and toppings of all sorts, as well as cut my fruits into slices or little bits without being in a rush…

Sour and Sweet Choco, Banana & Raspberry Overnight Oatmeal Bowl

I live for myself and not for others…”, I keep on repeating myself… So I must put myself first, and give priority to my own life. I must be my first choice, my number one option. And I mustn’t – ever again – let anyone make me believe I have no worth.

Délices d’Alep

At Délices d’Alep, a restaurant taken over by a Syrian couple of refugees, Rima Sayegh and César Asfar, everything sounds, smells and wears the scent of the East.

A day in Nancy

The sun was with us that day, and despite the modern part of the town I found fairly dull, I came back delighted thinking of the majestic cobblestoned Place Stanislas, its gold decorations and immense gates at each corner, as well as the sun visors of the boutiques that have made a home of the square, all looking like those of sweet shops from a time I have neither known or lived in.

Almond, Banana, and Blueberries Overnight Oatmeal

There are nights when we eat less and know perfectly well that we’ll be starving the next morning! So as prevention is better than cure, those nights, I tend to prepare my unicorn magic potion, that’s to say a filling overnight oatmeal, flavoured with the things that pique my tasting buds at that moment…

My Apricot Tart

Smoked Tofu & Broccoli Wok

Coconut & Curry Zucchini Savoury Porridge, topped with Goat Cheese & Coriander

A culinary creation? It is a trip that always sort of starts the same way… faraway memories and cravings for flavours surfacing again, associations coming to mind simply and naturally. It is a little muddled ‘je-ne-sais-quoi’ at the beginning, which is slowly cleared to give birth to pretty plates, fruits of the moment’s cravings. 

Banana Split -Style Overnight Oatmeal

Every rose has its thorn, but my banana split -style overnight oatmeal surely hasn’t any!

Express Pad Thai

… we used to seat on one of those extra long benches at a Wagamama franchise. My personal favourite dish has always been their vegan pad thai, which I very often had with one of their freshly-pressed juices to make me feel energised again.

Pan-fried Cashew Cauliflower & Chives Broad Beans on Toasts

Easter Snack – Little Dark Chocolate Vegan Muffins

Paddington-Style Blood Orange Marmelade

Spring Shiitake Omelette

In order to celebrate spring finally showing up, I made myself a special and balanced, complete veggie lunch, with proteins, veggies, and carbs, as well as a light touch of fat – I made a shiitake omelette with the eggs from the farm that is literally next door and where the hens are the happiest I know, all of it seasoned with garlic and cornflower petals, as well as five-berry pepper and lemon oil. 

Treize Lucioles

Appreciate yourself and honour your soul. This Saturday, I have fought a very difficult battle against my mind and myself, but…

The Morning Glory Café

On one of the white walls on my right when I pass the door, I can see this sign saying,…
