  • 👩🏻‍🍳 If there’s one thing you’re cooking this weekend, let it be this classic French onion soup: it’s simple and comforting - and almost stylish if you’re taking a closer look.
👉 Click on the link in profile for the full recipe (and some thoughts about the importance of using good quality stock). You can thank me later 😜

  • AD | Valentine’s Day forecast: staying in, with a chance of heart-shaped mini chocolates 💓
👩🏻‍🍳All right, that’s enough cheekiness from my side - now let’s get cooking 😜 Place two sea bass fillets, skin side down on an oiled baking tray. Cover with fresh breadcrumbs mixed with salt, pepper and a handful of chopped fresh herbs. Cook in the oven for 12-15 minutes at 180C. Serve with blanched samphire, lamb lettuce and @Maille Bearnaise sauce. Be generous with the sauce: it’s nice and silky, with a delicate flavour of mustard and tarragon 👌
👩🏻‍🍳So now that dinner is sorted... did anyone said something about some chocolate? Heart-shaped by any chance? 🙈😜

  • AD | Olive oil tasting session turned into an imaginary trip to lush olive groves in the ever so sunny Spanish side of the Iberian Peninsula ☀️🌳Think green, herby or ripe, fruity flavours, aromatic notes of young tomato vines or light & mild habanero chillies encased in just a few drops of golden, velvety olive oil. No wonder that extra virgin olive oil has been at the centre of the Mediterranean diet for so long. But what I love most about olive oil is its versatility and ability to enhance the flavour of food. Splash a few drops of extra virgin olive oil over your stews, soups or hearty casserole dishes for an instant touch of freshness👩🏻‍🍳👌

  • [#ad] 💕 Love is... a full 3 course dinner made to impress, but with none of the fuss and all the spare time to share with your significant other 💕 👩🏻‍🍳To help you decide, I have curated a full menu from the Valentine’s Day £20 Dinner for Two available at @waitroseandpartners. For starter, I chose the beautiful shells filled with king prawns, lemon & herbs creme fraiche, and salmon two ways. My pick for the main course would be venison shoulder steaks with bitter chocolate butter served with parmentier potatoes and tenderstem & butternut layers - all paired with a rich Cabernet Franc. Finally, the chocolate torte is so rich and creamy, that it will make you say: yummm! 😉
👉 There are also meat, vegetarian and vegan options available, so you can be creative and choose what you like 👌

  • Fresh on the blog: a classic French take on the famous Japanese layered omelette (also known as Tamagoyaki). It was my first attempt at this cooking technique, and I used a classic, round non-stick pan, but I must say I’m pretty happy with the result (swipe left to see all the beautiful layers) 🤩
