Fried Chicken
Here is my second recipe (out of 3) for my partnership with Uhaina organic beers! This time I propose an American fried chicken that will be perfect with an ice cold lager! I give you all the little secrets to get the beautiful texture of the chicken. It should be cooked well and not fried in too hot oil, which will color the chicken without cooking it inside. With a sauce and a good salad to accompany it, it smells like a vacation with friends!

Extra crispy Taiwanese popcorn chicken
Here is the second step by step recipe from my facebook live on Monday, July 5, 2021 for Taiwan Tourism! I also put the video in replay. This crispy Taiwanese popcorn chicken with Thai basil is just sensational! The texture is incredible and the flavors unexpected. To be made again and again as an appetizer or as a main course, served with a little sautéed rice for example. Thanks to the tapioca starch, this chicken will stay crispy until the next day...

Fried noodles with chicken and vegetables
Here is a very simple and fairly quick recipe to make, but above all with products that are easy to obtain. The result is very tasty. We all enjoyed this dish that I made as a family. It's still nice, with the kitchen, to be able to travel through delicious dishes in these uncertain times! With very soft chicken thighs, you will want to finish everything...

Fried rice with curry, grapes and vegetables
I often have cooked rice in an airtight box in the fridge. I love white rice with just a dash of soy sauce, sesame oil and a little bit of chili. I had a nice amount left over and wanted to make a very simple sautéed rice, without too many frills. Simple, efficient and good! All the ingredients are easy to find, or are even already in your home. You can add whatever you like (meat, aromatic herbs, dried fruits).

Fried rice with chicken, peanuts and coriander
Here is a quick recipe! I made it during a facebook live during the lockdown with what I had on hand. The result is a delight with peanuts, cilantro and moist chicken. Just remember to cook the rice the day before and let it sit in the fridge overnight so that it comes apart nicely. You can adapt with what you have at hand!

Lasagna Bolognese
I've just returned from another short stay in Italy. I always enjoy it! I had a really delicious lasagna and I wanted to share my version with you. It takes a bit of time, as I make it the day before, with a long cooking time for the Bolognese stew. But the result is worth it. I made everything homemade, even the pasta, which is very easy with a rolling mill, but you can of course put ready-made lasagna in it. The result is extremely tasty and creamy, with a little cheese inside. I had already proposed you the real ragout à la bolognaise, that I modify here a little to stick to the idea of lasagna that I had in mind!

Cream of pumpkin soup with white beans and preserved lemon
Between or after the holidays, you may need a calorie break! So a homemade soup in the evening is pretty good and always good! This time I propose a pumpkin, white bean and lemon confit soup with salt. The whole thing gives a very unusual taste, but quite delicious if the lemon is well dosed. With a little bit of cumin, it becomes particularly tasty. The beans give a nice consistency and creaminess, which makes me go without cream for once!

Broccoli Spinach Soup
With the cold weather, there's nothing like a nice, warm, comforting soup. I often make seasonal soups, but I came across some organic broccoli and spinach and really wanted to cook them. The result is a delight. I add cream and a little grated parmesan. This soup was unanimously approved!

Veal stew
Veal blanquette has been on my list of recipes to publish on the blog for a long time. I had forgotten how delicious it was: an ultra-creamy sauce and exquisite flavors. To have very tender meat, it must be cooked for a certain time. So this recipe is quite long, but the preparation is very simple and very fast. You can absolutely make blanquette with any other meat: chicken, pork, beef, etc. In this case, you will have to adjust the cooking time until the meat is tender as desired. This is the secret of a successful blanquette: the meat can be eaten almost with a spoon, with pearl onions, carrots, mushrooms, all in a creamy sauce...
