It’s-cold-outside “Daube Provençale”

I don’t eat much red meat, but do enjoy it from time to time if it is well sourced. And when I make beef, there are a few dishes I love – one I particularly affection in winter time is a Southern French stew called “daube provençale”. Consider it Provence’s version of the famous boeuf […]

Puy lentil, tahini and eggplant “ragout”

I love French Puy lentils – they are a star nutrition-wise but also so delicious in salads and terribly satisfying when served warm like in this cumin-scented wonder. I like to eat this alongside rice when I’m in need of comforting cold-weather food, but it is also mouthwatering and exquisite served as a bed for […]

It’s super practical if you are having a dinner party because you can prepare all the ingredients in advance and keep them in the fridge. Just make sure you mix everything at the last minute. If you wish, you […]
