Here is a basic recipe (and a childishly simple one) for breadcrumbs scented with garlic and herbs, which will give a taste of summer to your dishes. I use it for Provençal tomatoes, in cauliflower gratin, and I often sprinkle it over my sautéed green beans, a fresh green salad, or even mushrooms or fish.

Here’s a recipe I made to clean out the fridge, and it was such a hit that I’m sharing it with you, because I’ll definitely make it again. Mushrooms stuffed with cheese, a few fresh herbs, and caramelized onions, easy and quick. You can serve them as an appetizer with small mushrooms or as a starter with bigger ones.

It was while making my famous savory babka that I noticed the filling I had prepared looked strangely like that famous cheese I loved to spread on bread back in France. So without further ado, here is the recipe, ready in no time at all and perfect for cocktail hour.

Little crispy cheese bites with an olive hidden inside, perfect for cocktail hour or to pack for a picnic. They’re delicious and really easy to make, and kids will love helping out.

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.

Have you heard of babka? Some people also call it Krantz cake. It’s the famous Ashkenazi twisted brioche that has taken Israel, and pretty much the whole world, by storm. After its success in previous years, I’m bringing back this twist on babka in a savory version.


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!









What could be more indulgent and comforting than a gratin dauphinois? Potatoes, cream, milk and a little nutmeg. That’s it! Don’t count on having leftovers…

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.
