Star wars cake/ July 2016Steak au poivreThis is the traditional birthday meal in this house! Filet of beef is expensive but any cut will do.
The initial recipe came from long gone professeur Bernard...
And no, I do not put fat in the pan before cooking.Strawberry ice creamThis is my favorite strawberry ice cream recipe, light and very fruity. Despite being a Serious Eats recipe, it is not terribly complicated.
The quality of this ice cream depends entirely on your strawberries. Use impeccably ripe ones while they're in season.Stuffed chicken breastsThis is a classic Martha Stewart recipe. I love that you can serve this hot, room temperature or cold, and it is easy to make in large quantities for a party...and of course it is both pretty and tasty.
The biggest challenge is to find the deboned chicken breast with skin still on...but well worth the search. A good butcher can do it for you.Sweet potato coconut curried soupIf memory serves this is a soup I tasted and loved on a cruise ship and I worked hard to recreate it here....
It requires a LOT of ingredients; perfect for those who often cook thaï and asian food...you probably have most of them already...Thai green curry with shrimp and salmonThis dish is very tasty but expensive to make. If Thai food interests you, check out the exotic foods section in your supermarket and you will find all kinds of curry pastes, many different sauces, even some "kits" to make aromatic rice or noodle dishes and of course the coconut milk!
