I am sure you know what marzipan is, the smooth candy made from ground almonds, sugar or honey and usually egg white. marzipan is used notably for cake decoration, sweets making or even baking. marzipan is rarely homemade but you may decide to do it yourself after discovering how homemade marzipan is the easiest thing to make. i don't know about yo

Here comes some nice little biscuits that i originally made to come with an india dessert. they are also very good with tea or coffee. the idea of mixing linseeds and orange came from some biscuits i bought in an organic shop with a mix of flavor from orange biscuits that i bought at my work place. i like to eat some of those biscuits for breakfast

On 1 st of may, i should be talking about lily of the valley (as in france, the tradition is to offer lily of the valley as lucky-charm) ... but considering the grey sky we have today in france, i prefer to talk about another flower which is more sunny. on the web, i sometimes make some wonderful discoveries, have amazing surprises... which offers

Voici une des recettes emblématiques de la cuisine bretonne : le far. d'après les différents sites visités et le livre "fars bretons et kig-ha-farz" (de patrick hervé - édition skol vreizh), le nom du far à l'origine viendrait de "farz forn" ou far au four, par opposition au "farz sac'h" ou far en sac (que l'on trouve notamment dans la recet

Un peu de salé, avec une recette testée en mongolie : les buuz (ᠪᠤᠤᠵᠠ ou бууз), qui sont des raviolis mongols à la viande, généralement préparé pour tsagaan sar, qui est la fête du nouvel an mongol. de la mongolie, j'avoue que je ne connais pas grand chose, sauf oulan bator, sa capitale, que nous appelons communément "ub" (pr

C'est une recette qui a pas mal tournée sur la blogosphère fût un temps. elle est clairement pour ceux qui aiment le miel, et veulent changer du pain d'épices (où n'aiment pas le pain d'épices). toutes les recettes que j'ai trouvées, sont à peu près équivalentes sur les ingrédients de base, mais différent sur les parfums ajoutés pour a

You may know that i love asiatic flavour, especially japanese one... and at home pancakes are usual for our breakfast or for the kids when coming back from school. two good reasons to taste pancakes flavored with black sesame paste. black sesame paste is a paste made of black sesame seeds which have been toasted to increase their taste. it can also

After a couple of holidays in britany (west of france, but most of english people know where britany is) , i wanted to extend the holiday atmosphere at home, by cooking some biscuits with the flour brought from the far west part of france , that is to say : buckwheat flour . buckwheat is one of the culinary emblems of the breton cuisine mainly thro

For english speaker "breizh" does not mean anything, but for a breton (a french person from brittany) it simply means "breton" in the local patois. so here comes the second question : what is the link between breizh (i.e. breton) and panna cotta, as panna cotta is a typical italian dessert ? panna cotta has really nothing to do with brittany, that'
