purple kale chips

I was skeptical. I shouldn't have been.

baked rhubarb/raspberry bliss

It's not pouring anymore. But the sky is grey... (... comme dans la chanson). I need something sweet and spring(ish).

cocoa/hazelnut/banana muffins

It's pouring. I need chocolate. 

cream of {purple} cauliflower soup

riz-au-lait {golden rice custard}

Believe it or not, it's actually the first time I succeed in the making of riz au lait. I'm not kidding. In the past, I tried several recipes, but the final result was either undercooked or burned. The cooking process was also very painful: infinite minutes stuck to the stove, milk all over the place, burned pans good for the trash... The following recipe is simply miraculous!

spring vegetable timbale

Kind of a huge frittata. Without the delicate (and too often messy!) flipping-over part!

ideas?

Lots of great veggies in my CSA box this week. I already made a winter minestrone using part of the carrots, leeks, collard greens, rutabaga, .... I made a cauliflower and sesame tart, a kale pesto, a salad with roasted beets and fennel. What should I do with the fresh garlic and the green cabbage? Any idea?

It is about time to post a healthy salad after all the desserts i've posted lately!

pecan nut rolls

Remember the Tassajara cinnamon rolls posted on table.etc nearly 2 years ago? So good, huh? If you liked them, you will love these pecan nut rolls too. All you have to do is this:

1. use the same recipe as the cinnamon rolls, but add some nuts to the filling; 

2. opt for a slightly different shape,  by putting the rolls in 2 buttered/sugared pans 8 inches square, instead of lining them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Et voila', le tour est joue'!
