Meatless Shepherd Pie

Meatless Shepherd’s Pie

When I think about how the first Shepherd’s pie was made, I can’t help but seeing a young shepherd sitting on a rock boiling some potatoes over an open fire, a frying pan with some meat and vegetables. The last part, the baking of both layers however may have required an oven of some kind […]

Traditional Seven Vegetable Couscous

My first discovery of Moroccan food was in a small and colorful restaurant in my hometown in the South of France back in the seventies. It had such exotic colors and decorations! Fabric draped on the ceiling, lanterns, rugs… It was also the first time I tasted the fire of chilis! I remember it as […]

root vegetable salad

Winter Root Vegetable Salad

Around the holidays, I have noticed that it is rare to find a satisfying salad to accompany all the cooked food. I was first introduced to this special dish a few years ago at a Thanksgiving potluck. One of our girlfriends made it and we all asked for the recipe because it was so unique […]
