- Braised Chicken in Coconut Sauce in the Style of CartagenaThat is a long title for something quite...bland. I kind of knew it when I read the recipe but didn't have the time and space in my mind to modify the recipe. I served it with jasmine rice and a super good cabbage salad with grilled pineapple and roasted pepitas.

I will reduce the amount of sugar to 1/3 cup for the granulated sugar and 1 cup for the confectioner's sugar. The frosting was like a cloud of sweet because of the meringue base. This will be the recipe to go for chocolate cupcake. I made the preperation the night before and just had to baked it in the morning for some fresh cupcakes. At first the dough is liquid but after a night of rest it is like a chocolate pudding. You could eat it like that I am sure!

It was really good bread. I also omitted the uncooked millet and added more flax. It made great toast this morning!

Next time I will lower the sugar in the cookies to 1/2 cup and in the cream to 1 cup for the confectionner's sugar. Served them as a trio with the chocolate cupcakes and the carrot cake baked as cupcakes. It was for a kid birthday and it was a great success.

6 likes Can’t Like Unlike Like 6 likesThis is actually a magnificiant book.The pictures are beautiful and the recipies seems to be authentic (but I can't be sure since I have never been to Jerusalem). All the recipe I have try are savory (even if sometimes they were not to my taste). A top quality book. Really inspiring to create your own recipe too.
- Addictive Bran MuffinsYes they are addictive! Since the bran soak it does not dry the muffin. To the contrary, those were moist and tender. I didn't use the millet because my teeth do not like the texture of uncook millet on top of muffins. For the many people who do not like raisins I would substitute those for fresh blueberries.

- Roasted Cauliflower and Hazelnut SaladThis was an excellent saled to complete a vegetarian lunch. I added a bulb of fennel thinly slice and replaced the cinnamon by nutmeg. I also replaced the cherry by some apple cider vinegar. I didn't measure the ingredient but an few try it was perfectly balance. So yummi!!!

- Zucchini Quinoa and goat cheese tartFinally a gluten free dough NOT full and starch! And a really good one. I did add some tomatoes, fresh basil and chorizo...Succulent. I did pre bake the dough at a much lower oven , 350 for maybe 10-15 minutes. Careful not to over bake it as it will become too dry.

I use to live in Vancouver and was always amaze by the early cherry blossom. But here in the northern east coast not even the dandelion leaves are out...yet!


3 likes Can’t Like Unlike Like 3 likes - Yeasted Buckwheat WafflesMade those the other night before going to sleep and left the dough on the counter to ferment all night as suggested. But in the morning the dough was a bit over fermented. Next time I will let them ferment slowly in the frig. The measurement are not in weight and this is a bit of a turn off.

The crust was hard at the touch but this is usually the case when the bread just come out of the oven. But half an hour later the crust was still really hard. And the breads were SO LIGHT. Like a puff of smoke... Indeed the crust did stay hard. And the "mie" was way too airy. I noticed while forming the buns that there was a lot of air in the dough. But I tought it was a good omen...During the first fermentation the dough rose a too fast, I should have punched it a couple of times, I guess it would have stock less air.

This is really nice of you to do that! I am certainly in. See you over there.
- Panfried sea bass with harissa and roseIf someone would offer you the last fish in the ocean this is the way you want to cook it! It is simply delicious. I used home made harissa. The taste is rich, subtile and fragrant. I bought an entire sea bass, cut out the filet and used the rest of the fish to make a fumet. Served it with fresh green beans and the saffron rice. What a great dinner.
