It’s been a very long time. I have been meaning to post some Gambian recipes, but it is not easy to get internet access. I am starting to get used to the african rhythm of life. Steamed fish is something I have for breakfast here on the Smiling Coast. I think it would be appreciated [...]

Looking through the last dozen posts we’ve made, I see we’re really doing well in sharing seasonal recipes! This is yet another one in that category – I can’t help but keep eating pumpkin and squash, because it is delicious and versatile; and, especially, because starting in one month I will not be eating many [...]

The first time I tried a smoked salmon and fresh basil frittata, it was made for me. I had never thought of the combination of basil with smoked salmon – usually I associate parsley, or dill – so this seemed unusual. With the first bite, however, I realized that they go very well together. The [...]

In peak harvest season I’m always inspired to make granola, although I’m not sure why. In a blur, the kitchen becomes transformed as I bring in bags and bags in of nuts, fruits and seeds and then begin mixing in my largest bowl, which is never large enough. Then, after the first batch, I make [...]
Easter egg bread french toast

It was a complete co-incidence that I woke up craving egg bread french toast. I went to the store in my neighbourhood, surprised that there was only one loaf left, until I realized it’s easter. Right. Isn’t it strange my cravings coincide with special occasions? While cooking the french toast, I realized we had used up [...]

This morning, we woke up to the sound of high winds and rain lashing at our windows reminiscent of the village my family comes from in Normandy. Perhaps surprisingly, I quite enjoy a good storm. And the cold and wet outdoors will be less appetizing as a distractor from my current challenge of studying for [...]
Breakfast delights: lemon cranberry muffins

It’s no secret that I’m a morning person. And there’s nothing more I like to do (well, not much) than wake up early and bake something delicious to share for breakfast. Today, it was these muffins, which we accompanied with mocha yogurt and bohemian raspberry (green tea with raspberry plant leaves) tea. It was such [...]
Cheese Omlette, inspired by Julia Child

I like reading cookbooks for fun. I’ve been doing this since I was little – I even looked at the pictures before I could read. This has resulted in a huge repertoire of cooking information, including about 10 different ways of making omelettes. Eventually, I’ll post them all. For now though, I’m focusing on a recipe [...]
