Copper Christmas

I love copper! I will soon show you a DIY that I did in my kitchen… Here are the latest trends for a festive copper-coloured Christmas. I wish I could give you lots of good recipes for this end of year but I was so overwhelmed that I have not had time to prepare anything… You will soon be able to see that the blog will get a big graphic renewal, a new and fresh look that I can not wait to introduce you to! As for me, I surely will cook typical Polish bortsch, beetroot soup eaten at Christmas. I recently tested a version that allows the use of cooked beets, because raw beets are so hard to find! I will display it very soon…

AG

In a chic and graphic black and white setting, hidden in a pretty street of the lively St Germain neighborhood, the AG restaurant has just opened its doors. From the first minutes, I was conquered by the impeccable service, and these little appetizers highlighting my appetite, chestnut espuma and foie gras cromesquis. At the head of this new address, Alan Geaam (Auberge Nicolas Flamel), accompanied by a young and passionate team, formed in the most luxurious and famous Parisian palaces, provide a creative and delicious bistro cuisine, with a particular attention to good products (creamy burrata from an Italian craftsman, tender meat from the butcher of Sablière, fresh fish from Renault, tasty vegetables perfectly cooked and seasoned). To end on a sweet note, desserts by Marius Dufay are a delight for the mouth and the eyes, like this amazing chocolate and crispy praline cake, or this yuzu tart and meringue (fabulous!).
