FALL VEGETABLE & CHARD TACOS {V & GF} On a recent trip to Deauville last weekend, we stumbled on a lovely gentleman selling mini vegetables! Two of my favorite things! Eggplants of all shapes and colors, dark red, red, orange, yellow and green bell peppers and even fresh paprika, which I had never seen! It’s […]
BLACKBERRY & NECTARINE GALETTE On a recent trip to Inverness last week, I had one goal: BLACKBERRIES! Every summer when I’m home visiting, my mom and I go on a blackberry mission and I come back with buckets full. This time, I wanted to make a pie (or pies, jam, etc), but due to limited […]
STRAWBERRY SORBET While driving back to Berkeley from Yosemite last weekend, we took the 120W and drove through farm country. And of course, what does farm country have? Fresh fruit and vegetable stands, which is probably my favorite thing, especially in the summer. Amazingly sweet melons, juicy peaches, vine-ripe tomatoes and of course, perfect strawberries […]
FRESH TOMATILLO SALSA When I’m in my hometown of Berkeley, California, one of my favorite things to do on a Saturday morning is go to the Center Street/Ecology Center Farmer’s Market. With my Canon 5D in hand, I find myself tasting and photographing everything…from purple radishes to purple carrots, and everything in between. I stumble […]
VEGAN PARMESAN CHEESE | V, GF When I stopped eating dairy products, I knew that I would have to find a replacement for parmesan cheese. Marc is officially addicted and in my research, the obvious replacement was to use nutritional yeast. At first, we tried it by itself, but it’s definitely better when you add […]
FAVA BEAN SPREAD {Vegan} During summer, one of my favorite side dishes is Fava Bean Spread. The Fava Bean, or fève en français, are very high in protein, and energy as in other beans and lentils. These little beans are rich in dietary fiber and phyto-nutrients. Whenever I see them at the farmer’s market between […]
ROSEMARY CHOCOLATE OLIVE OIL CAKE {V} Do you ever get a bee in your bonnet to make a certain recipe? Well for me, it was Rosemary Chocolate Olive Oil Cake. Last Sunday, I was at my local farmers market on rue d’Alibert in the 10eme and when I picked up the rosemary, the smell reminded […]
BANANA FLAXSEED PANCAKES {Vegan} Waking up in Paris is always a surprise, especially in the Springtime. This particular Saturday morning, we woke up to gray skies…but no matter where you are in the world, if there are no kids in the picture, this means grasse matinée, or a lazy morning. I woke up inspired to […]
HOMEMADE HUMMUS {Vegan} I’ve always loved hummus, or houmous, which is an Arabic word meaning chickpea. Since I’ve begun eating a plant-based diet, I find that I eat this Superfood Dip almost everyday. So I decided to get back to basics – mashed chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, salt and garlic and make Homemade […]
