Chicken with Black Mushrooms and Bamboo Shoots - Chinese Stir-Fry
Chicken with black mushrooms and bamboo shoots is a fragrant Chinese recipe I’d been wanting to make again for a long time. Last week I finally came across the ingredients I was missing, so here’s the recipe.





Pkaila - Tunisian Confit Spinach Stew with White Beans and Beef
Pkaila is one of the signature dishes of Tunisian Jewish cooking. It’s a stew in which the spinach is cooked down for a long time until it becomes almost confit, then simmered with meat and white beans. Real black gold for those who love it: don’t be put off by its unusual color, this dish is a real crowd-pleaser.


Zucchini Pesto - Fresh, No-Cook, Vegan and Cheese-Free
I often make pasta on Friday for lunch, with a different sauce every week (unless someone puts in a special request ^^). With spring here, I wanted to try a quick sauce with no cooking and no cheese, namely… zucchini pesto. It was a big hit: it comes together in a few minutes, it’s fresh, well balanced and goes beautifully with pasta. If you love basil and zucchini, I really recommend giving it a try!








Tunisian Italian Bread with Olive Oil and Nigella Seeds (Pain Italien)
This Italian-style bread, made with olive oil and sprinkled with nigella seeds, is the one traditionally used for the Tunisian sandwich, filled just like the famous Tunisian fricassé. It is also perfect alongside slow-cooked dishes such as Psal or Loubia (meat stew with onions and beans) or mloukhia, jute-leaf stew with meat and merguez.
