Gaspacho with red pepper
This gaspacho comes from a recipe of the Great French Chef Alain Ducasse and it’s special because the red peppers first are cooked in the oven and then they are added with the other ingredients (tomatoes, cucumber, onion, garlic, basil) into the mix that stays in the refrigerator overnight! At the end, we add a little bit of Xérès vinegar for even more flavor! It’s really very good!
Mini-cakes with banana
These mini-cakes with banana are very tasteful and even if they are a bit compact they have a very special taste because the banana goes very well with cinnamon and this special brown sugar called rapadura which has a very special perfume! You can add some walnuts for some extra flavor as well :-)
Shrimps à la créole
These shrimps à la creole are very special because they couple well tomato puree and lime (juice and zest)! Seeing these two ingredients together we might think they will not match, but this is not true, they go very well together! Besides onions, garlic and red peppers that give some extra taste there is also thyme, bay leaf and some chili that bring even more flavor! On top we grate a little bit of nutmeg and thus we create a wonderful sauce that goes very well with pasta or rice! You need to try it to see for yourself!
Veal with lemon confit
This veal with lemon confit has a multitude of ingredients (onions, garlic, carrots, honey, wine, orange juice and zest, thyme, bay leaf and of course lemon confit) that create a symphony of flavors! It’s really good and quick to make! Don’t miss the opportunity to taste it :-)
Eggplants « Imam Bayildi »
These eggplants are a Greek traditional dish but here we have its light version! The eggplants at the end are candied and their filling has also candied onions cooked in a tomato sauce! Veggies become candied thanks to the long cooking in the oven! It’s really good and light because they don’t have much olive oil! Give it a try and you will adopt the recipe without a question!
Tzatziki light
This is a light tzatziki that is made with a fresh French cheese called fromage blanc (coming from sheep it’s better)! If you can’t find it abroad use light Greek yogurt! The light version is much better than the full fat version! Give it a try and see :-)

This is a fine sauce that is easy to make and it uses ingredients that can be found easily at the house: tomato puree, canned tuna, and rosemary for some extra flavor! It’s really good and can help you when you run out of inspiration, time or ingredients!
Chicken the old fashioned way
These chicken breasts are very easy to make and really tasteful :-) Use a mild and rather sweet mustard if you can’t find the French old fashioned mustard but it also works well with Dijon mustard! It’s very flavorful and quick to make!
