If you are craving for chocolate or look for a comfy breakfast or crunchy healthy snack, I have got the perfect recipe for you: this delicious dark chocolate and almond granola. Homemade granola ...
Breakfast

Good news, you can easily make your own healthy chocolate spread that is also dairy free, refined sugar free, oil free and delicious! All you need is 5 ingredients: hazelnut butter, dark chocolate, grapeseed oil, agave syrup and vanilla ...
Winter Granola With Walnuts, Figs And Chia Seeds {Oil Free}
It is now the third batch I do of my winter granola and I have become totally addicted to it. I keep eating the crunchy chunks straight from the jar when I am at home or take it as snack on the go. Every time I bake this granola, the orange zest and gingerbread spices fill the house with a heavenly scent. ...
Pumpkin Bread
Happy Halloween! Today I am baking a gluten free pumpkin bread. I do mean 'bread', in the French way, le pain, not the American classic, which is more like a cake. I am super happy how this bread turned out: soft and fluffy, with hints of pumpkin and spices flavors. That lovely pumpkin shape makes it festive, ideal for the season! {Recette en ...
Fig Crumble With Quinoa-Hazelnut Topping
"How do you come up with your recipes?" a friend asked me recently. Quite often a seasonal ingredient is inspiring me, such as luscious figs currently in the markets, and it all begins there. Baked in a pie, like in this indulgent fresh fig and almond cream pie I made last year? Turned into jam? As a pizza topping? Today I fancied a warm comforting ...

French Crepes With Fresh Strawberry Lime Salad
Tomorrow at the same time I will be sitting in a crêperie, in a tiny village in the north of Bretagne, the birth place of French crêpes. I spent time planning all the wonderful restaurants for our holiday trip in Brittany, and as you can imagine, crêpes and savory galettes are on all the menus. No wonder I HAD to experiment with (and taste loads ...
Strawberry Mint Chia Jam {Sugar Free}
Zero sugar or pectin needed to make this jam, thanks to the gelling power of the Chia seeds! By now you probably know that these tiny seeds are packed with omega-3 fatty acids and rich in fiber. I use them in smoothies, oat meals or even in baking. But what really matters when it comes to jam, is that Chia seeds take a jelly-like texture when ...
