Welcome to the bi-weekly newsletter of solo food! The newsletter will turn bi-weekly now and I will try to deliver every couple of weeks 3 recipes and other articles to complete this new edition. During this couple of weeks, I will of course publish recipes and articles in an avant-première mode and share new content on social media!
|
Besides this new development, I hope that you and your family and friends are well! In this new edition of the newsletter, you will find 3 new recipes to boost your mood and bring you a lot of new flavors! Endives braised in honey as a side dish for the scallops with citrus fruits (mandarin and orange), coconut milk, curry and lemongrass sauce! As a dessert you will get a cake that is 1000 times better than the French pain d’épices and it’s served during the Jewish New Year every September or early October each year. This cake with brown butter, English Tea and honey is going to surprise you and conquer you completely due to its strong but also mild flavors :)
|
As an addition to the recipes, you will find a new article I wrote in order to protest again and injustice coming from Instagram who decided to no longer diffuse my photos via the hashtags I am using, so if you want to help go check my page and like my latest photos hoping that this kind of activity is going to end this shadowban.

Endives (chicory) braised in honey: These endives braised in honey are slightly caramelized and very moist because they are cooked in low heat. They are an excellent side dish for the scallops with citrus fruits, coconut milk, curry, and lemongrass sauce but also for veal or poultry. When I was testing how to make them and create the recipe I overcooked them once and they were so caramelized that were almost “burned” (30’ instead of 20’) but they were really really good and could be an excellent side dish for beef steak! Try to make both version and see!

Scallops with citrus fruits, coconut, curry and lemongrass: Scallops are a mollusk that I learned to eat here in France. I remember once during Christmas when I was all alone, I tried to make some but I did not succeed the recipe much… But here I regained a lot of the lost ground because this sauce with citrus fruits, coconut milk, curry and lemongrass gives the dish its Asian character and it’s really good and easy to make :) Serve them with the endives and everything will be as great as ever :) Try them because it’s a pity to wait for Christmas in order to eat scallops! Your turn to play ;)

Cake with brown butter, English tea and honey: This cake with brown butter, black tea like the English Breakfast Tea, and honey is simply marvelous! It’s so good and moist that is very difficult not to eat it all at once! The strong taste of brown butter is soften thanks to the tea and the honey giving a final result that reaches perfection! Try to make and you will see! Since last year when I first made this recipe, I made quite often and we eat it all day long, for breakfast, or tea time or even as a dessert after lunch or dinner! Really good! Very easy to make! Go ahead then what are you waiting for?

Instagram ban or shadowban or is Instagram racist? :I had never thought that I was going to write an article like this but I had to protest against an injustice that Instagram done by banishing the publication of my photos to the hashtags I use. They even banish my from my own hashtag which is #solofoodfr! They have a really serious problem I think! So out of this injustice comes this article and I will continue to try and make a buzz against it! If you have an Instagram account please go and like my latest photos and follow me hoping that like this Instagram will end the ban!
