Pine Nuts Tart by Gui Gedda \ Tarte aux pignons


Wonderful easy to make cake! The only disadvantage - you just can't stop yourself from eating it.. 
I was inspired by my blog-friend Svet. She has this recipe in russian and with lots of nice pictures here.

Moules a la provencale


15 minutes = time from opening the door at home after the fish market till the moment when you already sit at the table and enjoying your man\family\guests making all the possible sounds... mmmmmm!

Truffle Solt \ Sel aux truffes - Must have!



Let me introduce you my best friend - Truffle Solt! Love it soooo much!
Lots of people don't use it - thinking that they are not truffle's funs..or thinking it's expensive.. Just try it! I would insist that my friends who still don't have it go and get it! By the way in our local supermarket it costs about 8 euro..

So, what do I use it with:
  • Every morning for breakfast: boil eggs, cut into two peaces, put a bit of butter on each peace - and on top a liiiiiiittle bit of the solt - such a luxury! 
  • Steak! almost every steak..if i don't eat it with my Plam Cuttney here
  • Risotto
  • Baked potato 
  • and sure the best with....Foie gras (sorry...)
Highly recomended!

Again Tajine! This time lamb


I keep experimenting with my new device - Tajine! Now with lamb ..
There are several types of Tajine but the most popular ones are Tunisian tajine and Moroccan Tajine. The last one count to be "fest" tajine and being cooked mostly from lamb with honey, nuts and dried fruit. A Variation of that I just did last evening... Soooooo tasty!

Sunday plum pie



It's a wonderful very easy plum pie! We love to have it for sunday lunch )) Very easy to do and results are so much not in balance with efforts (as we like). And it make your home soooo cozy..

Plum Chutney


This is just a present for those, who love meet as much as i do. I always do couple of kilos and it disapears with unbelivable speed. So i would consider it as one more MUST to meat! Sorry for not a nice picture..i looks much better with a steak, but....you know...khe-khe... usually average lifetime of a steak with this chutney is 4 seconds.. So these pictures just don't exist ((
