When we eat bread at home, we do it for real: we have several types of meat, cheese, spread... This vegetarian-pâté recipe comes from my sister, it is sooooooo good! It goes also perfectly well with this tomato butter . Mix: 250ml of sunflower seeds, grounded 125ml of nutritional yeast 2 tablespoons of lemon juice 80ml of oil 1 clove of garlic 2 tablespoons of tamari (or soy sauce) 125ml of flour (could be nice with whole wheat!) 1 onion, thinly diced 1 raw potato, grated (or pumpkin, or sweet potato, or...) Thyme and basil, to taste Mix and add up to 250ml of water . Depending of what you grated, it could be a bit less. The texture should be like a cake mix, not too liquid, not too thick. Pour in a greased bread form (the thickness should be 2-3cm). Bake at 175C for an hour. Unmold once cold.

A classic for special occasion at our place. A great recipe from one of André's cousin. It can easily be scaled to any kind of quantity. With a hand mixer, mix: 200g of soft (room temperature) butter 200g of tomato paste 1/2 an onion, thinly chopped (I like to fry it a bit) 1-2 teaspoons of herbal salt (beware of adding too much salt if you are using salted butter!) 2 tablespoon of fresh parsley 2 teaspoon of paprika powder (I like doing half and half with smoked paprika) a pinch of pepper Put in air tight containers and store in the fridge.

Yes, this week was "Indian week" :P I have made Naan several times before and never has it been so easy and great than when I used this Jamie Oliver recipe. For 6 Naans In a mixing bowl, mix a teaspoon of dry yeast with a teaspoon of honey and 125ml of lukewarm water . Wait a few minutes until it bubbles. Add a tablespoon (15g) of melted butter , as well as 3 tablespoons of natural yogurt . Mix well. Add 250g of flour (bread or white) , a little at a time, while mixing the dough. Once it is coming together, put it on a floured surface and work with your hands. The dough should be soft and elastic. If too dry, add a bit of water, if too wet, add a bit of flour. Knead for 5 minutes. Put the dough in a bowl, cover and leave in a warm place for an hour and a half, or until it has double in size. Punch the dough with your fist, divide in 6 and roll each portion into an oval. In the original recipe he says to flatten to 1.5cm, but I would advise to go thinner than this (...

We love Indian food. Ok. At this point one might wonder: is there any food you don't like!? Actually, YES! Anyway, point being: Indian food is great, but it is even greater when it is simple so one can prepare few dishes and make a "Indian buffet" of sort. This recipe is sweet and savory and so simple you will wonder where all this great flavor comes from. It is adapted from a Sorted Food recipe. For 4 people. Warm up the oven to 150C. Cut 500g of cooked chicken into bite size pieces (you can use beast or any other cut you might like). In a pan on medium heat, pour 300g of mango chutney , 2 teaspoons of garam masala and 2 teaspoons of curry powder . Bring to a boil and remove from the heat. Mix 500g of natural yogurt with 3 tablespoons of mayonnaise . Add the chutney mixture and the cut chicken. Pour in a oven compatible dish, cover and bake for about 40 minutes. Serve topped with sliced almond and coriander , on a bed of rice.

Two weeks ago, we bought an eggplant. It was on special and I though: why not make a moussaka. André wasn't excited about this prospect and it just so happened one of our YouTube channel was showing a recipe that looked just amazing using an eggplant (see here ) and grilled halloumi. We decided to try it and did not regret it (I mean, look at how good it looks!!). Serves 4. Peel and thinly slice 2 red onions . Heat a medium-big saucepan over medium-high heat and add a tablespoon of oil before adding the onions. Fry roughly 10 minutes, until the onion is tender. Add one tablespoon of tomato puree and one tablespoon of harissa paste (to adjust depending on your taste for spicy food, could be good with a bit less too). Mix and fry for a minute or so. Add 4 portions*** of wheat, bulgur, oat, rice or couscous and fry a couple of minutes, until fragrant. On the channel, they are using "freekeh", which we successfully replaced by "matvete" (wheat berry), but I ...

We looooove sautés. This one is no exception. It comes from a french Canadian magazine, published several years ago, but it is still as good. Here, I doubled the quantity of sauce as we looooove the sauce and increased the cashew content. Serves 4 people. Prepare the sauce by mixing 75 ml of soya sauce (low sodium, if possible), 2 tablespoons of sugar , 2 tablespoons of water , 2 teaspoons of sesame oil and a splash of Tabasco . Add 40ml of cornstarch and mix well. In a wok or a big pan, heat up a tablespoon of oil on high heat and add 500gr of chicken breast (without bones and skin) cut in cubes (bite size) . Cook until golden and put aside. Add another tablespoon of oil and quickly fry one cup of sugar snap peas (could be also any other peas or even broccoli), one sliced big red (or any other color) bell pepper , half a cup of cashews , one clove of garlic and one thinly sliced piece of ginger the size of a thumb (skin removed). Fry for 3-4 minutes, then add back t...

In Sweden, it is recommended, nej, encouraged and assumed that people eat fish. Like 3-4 times a week. We are not big fish eaters, but we have a few recipes we really like and this is one of them. The recipe is good for 4 big fish cakes (4 portions). The original is here . Start by preparing a tartare-style sauce. Mix: 125ml of mayonnaise , one tablespoon of roughly chopped capers , one teaspoon of creamed horseradish (we put a pea of wasabi ), one teaspoon of Dijon mustard , one small very finely chopped shallot  and one teaspoon of parsley, finely chopped . Put 450g of cod or haddock (if available, you can buy frozen pieces of fish (not filé) which makes pretty cheap) and 2 bay leaves in a frying pan. Pour over 150ml of milk and 150ml of water. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 4 minutes. Take off the heat and let stand, covered, for 10 mins to gently finish cooking the fish. Meanwhile, peel and chop 350g of potatoes (the kind suitable for a ma...
