Chocolate Quinoa Nests & Easter Egg Energy Balls {Vegan}
When I was a child, it was the Easter bunny, or lièvre de Pâques, that brought us chocolate eggs at school or hid them in our garden. Of course like all kids, I would just eat as many eggs as I could get my hands on. Now as a (responsible) mom and true chocolate lover, I value good quality products and you know how those Easter eggs sold in shops ...
Matcha Tapioca Pearls Pudding With Whipped Coconut Cream {Vegan}

No time to bake new bread before dinner (and I stopped buying gluten free bread long time ago), so I turned to my favorite crackers recipe. These gluten free crackers are quick to do and feature quinoa flakes and a mix of seeds: sunflower seeds, ...
Fluffy Vegan Coconut Macaroons or ‘Rochers Coco’
Sour, bitter, sweet, salty... In few days the French school where my son attends will organize the 'Days of Taste' (Journées du Goût). The aim is to bring food awareness to children and showcase the diversity of taste. I strongly support any initiative that instills in children the curiosity to taste and transmits the passion for food. So I happily ...
Velvety Chestnut, Butternut Squash And Sweet Potato Velouté
I bake a lot, and successful baking is all about precise measurements. When it comes to cooking soups, I simply follow my palate, and adjust flavors and proportions on the way. Today I kept track of my ingredients to share this velvety chestnut, butternut squash and sweet potato velouté. ...

Last night I took it one step further and made these oh, so decadent spicy chocolate ganache tarts, with no-bake pie crust. One delicious way to kick off the weekend! ...
