Gnaouia - Kosher Okra and Beef Stew
Gnaouia (gnaouiya, ganaouia or gnawia) is a specialty of Tunisian Jewish cuisine that’s always a hit. The star ingredient of this delicious dish is okra, prepared with beef or chicken. A staple at celebrations and especially for Shabbat, while relatively unknown in European cooking, okra is widely used in African and Middle Eastern cuisines.

Gnocchi ai Funghi - Creamy Mushroom Sauce
These gnocchi with mushroom sauce smell like autumn and comfort food. The “ai funghi” sauce is an Italian classic, as famous as Bolognese sauce. It’s a quick dish (if your gnocchi are ready) and excellent. Potato gnocchi are a great alternative to pasta as they absorb the sauce beautifully.


Smoked Salmon Lentil Salad
Lentils are a pantry staple that shouldn’t be overlooked—they’re nutritious and protein-rich. Beyond the classic lentils and sausage dish, I’m sharing today a lentil salad recipe packed with fresh vegetables and smoked salmon, which pairs beautifully with lentils.


Tom Kha Gai - Thai Coconut Chicken Soup
Tom kha gai is a flavorful and exotic soup made with chicken, spices, and coconut milk that I make every winter. It’s both mild and spicy, absolutely delicious. I discovered it years ago at Izaaki restaurant, which no longer exists but I loved it. It’s the kind of soup you’d go to a restaurant for, except now you can make it at home!

Duck Parmentier with Sweet Potato
Hachis Parmentier is a comforting French dish, and this duck confit version with sweet potato is a delicious and festive twist on the traditional hachis parmentier recipe. You can make this recipe with duck or goose following the same method.


Roast Chicken
Roast chicken, a family classic you need in your repertoire. A chicken with perfectly golden, crispy skin and tender, juicy meat. This recipe is always a hit - I’ve been making it for years and haven’t changed a thing.

Salmon Terrine with Chives
Fish terrine is a staple of French cuisine. Variations range from budget-friendly to festive. Here’s a flavorful, light salmon terrine that’s simple to make.


Chocolate Hazelnut Praline Dessert Cream
I love dessert creams - they’re indulgent, silky smooth, and ready in no time! After sharing a chocolate dessert cream and a pistachio one, here are delicious homemade chocolate hazelnut praline dessert creams. They can be made lactose-free and are gluten-free. Perfect if you have a jar of homemade praline to use up.


Salmon Club Sandwich - Double-Decker Sandwich
Club sandwiches are delicious for lunch, brunch, or a light dinner. They’re easy to make and always give a slightly sophisticated impression while simply assembling a few quality ingredients.
