Month: October 2007

Trying to get myself inspired to cook, I found a very interesting recipe that combines chocolate and prunes… ‘huh?’ you might say… that was my first reaction too. But I was so game for it. So there I was, all set and ready… mixed my portion of chocolate with cream… buzzing sound of the electric… Continue reading Ninja’s Floppy Chocolate Cake

I hate cold weather especially when it’s windy. Nantes has lots of these cold icy breeze that could even wake up a drunk from his drunken stupor. Brrr! I also hate it when it drizzles (it rains a lot here, coastal area and all that) – it’s really no fun walking outside in the rain,… Continue reading Chicken Wrap

Though I’m under the weather, we decided to come to Paris so that little one can spend some time with her grandparents. Now everyone is sick except her. Upon touching the ground of Paris, I was graced with a sandpaper throat which escalated to an irritating cough that gives me sleepless nights. On top of… Continue reading A day of strike in Paris

Haven’t been feeling that well for the past few days, and I’m so not inspired to cook at all. However we were left with a packet of chicken in our fridge that needed to be cooked as it was expiring today. Pierre was craving for breaded chicken and I decided to spice up the usual… Continue reading Aromatic Spicy Breaded Chicken

Yesterday I woke up with a super craving for a sinfully rich chocolate cake – you know the type that definitely choke up your artery kind – moist and slightly gooey.

Even in a kid friendly environment, our little Miss Curious will start squirming… Continue reading Moghlai Murgh

After my great success with Moules Marinière, I decided to try cooking some of these clams again, but in a different way. I was curious to see if there was any Asian recipe for mussels and as it turns out one of my Thai-cooking book had an answer to that question. 🙂 Steamed Mussels Thai… Continue reading Steamed Mussels Thai Style

We were at the supermarket doing our usual weekly shopping. I paused by the vegetable section trying to figure out what to cook and buy… Finding something that both Pierre and I likes and that is a bit new isn’t easy since he doesn’t like most of the vegetables and our taste are so different.… Continue reading Gratin d’endives au jambon

Of late, our household has been on a “strict” diet (except little ninja) in our effort to shed that few centimeters off our waistline, which is why I haven’t been baking much sweet stuff. But when 5 o’clock rings, our mouth really start to crave for something sweet to go with that cup of tea.… Continue reading Coconut Squares
