Meagre Fillets in Coconut Curry Sauce
Meagre is a delicious white fish that’s very common in Israel and turns up in France from time to time too. Its white flesh is delicate, and I encourage you to give it a try - it may well become one of your favorite fish! I served it with a millet risotto with zucchini.

Black Lentil Salad with Tomato, Cucumber and Avocado
Black lentils (also called Beluga lentils, because the tiny black grains look like caviar) were a real discovery for me, and now I always keep some in my pantry. Nutritionally, they’re high in protein and packed with vitamins. They hold their shape when cooked and don’t need soaking, which makes them the perfect ingredient for a vegetarian starter or lunch that’s still filling!



Summer Bo Bun - Vietnamese Noodle Salad
Hugely popular these last few years, bo bun is a fresh, complete Vietnamese dish that’s perfect for summer. It combines different textures and lovely sweet-and-sour flavors. It’s usually served with marinated, stir-fried beef, but I’m offering you a vegetarian version that’s just as excellent.

Salmon Terrine with Chives - Light and Festive French Starter
Fish terrine is a classic of French cooking. There are versions of it ranging from the most budget-friendly to the most festive. Here I’m sharing a fresh salmon terrine that’s flavorful, light and easy to make.

Roast Beef - Easy Cold Roast with Mustard and Rosemary
Roast beef is a classic recipe to add to your repertoire. Perfect for cold meals. Don’t forget to take the meat out of the refrigerator 30 minutes before preparing it.

Warm Quinoa Salad with Halloumi, Sweet Potato and Roasted Onions
Here is an excellent quinoa salad that is served warm. It is meltingly soft thanks to the sweet potato and the halloumi. A bit like the black lentil salad, it’s a complete, filling vegetarian main!

Roast Chicken - Golden, Crispy Skin and Tender Meat
Roast chicken, a family dish that belongs in your repertoire of classics. A chicken with beautifully golden, crispy skin and meltingly tender meat. This recipe is always a hit; I’ve been making it for several years now and I wouldn’t change a thing.

Nile Perch with a Herb Crust
Nile perch is a good white-fleshed fish that lends itself to all sorts of preparations. You can pan-fry it, for example, and serve it with a shallot and white wine cream sauce; today I’m suggesting you dress it up with a crust of fragrant herbs, a bit like a crumble. A simple recipe that’s tasty and light.


Dairy-Free Zucchini Flans
These zucchini flans are soft and moist, a fresh idea and a nice change for using up zucchini! They can go alongside fish or meat, or stand on their own with a salad.


Whole Roasted Cauliflower (Eyal Shani style)
In a word? Delicious. Israeli chef Eyal Shani has restored this excellent, sometimes overlooked vegetable to its former glory. Whole roasted cauliflower is a recipe to adopt and serve to everyone who thinks vegetables are boring! You’ll never again be embarrassed to say that cauliflower is one of your favorite vegetables. And if nothing else, you’ll have a great recipe to serve to your vegetarian friends.

Salmon Carpaccio with Pink Peppercorns and Lime
Salmon carpaccio is a classic on my summer tables. It’s the kind of recipe that only asks for good ingredients to be delicious, and it always makes a lovely impression when you bring it to the table.

Beef Carpaccio - Thin Slices with Olive Oil, Lemon and Fresh Toppings
Beef carpaccio is a French classic - paper-thin slices of beef dressed with a fresh, slightly tangy topping. Easy, beautiful on the plate, and you can prepare it ahead!
