| Nanashi 2 @ Paris |
Go there listening to Fine Day | Erlend Øye While waiting to come to the Carreau du Temple on weekends to enjoy cultural & gym spots that should open circa 2039 – judging by the pace of the construction work – today you can come to brunch/dine @ Nanashi 2 whenever feeling “hip-tired-healthy”. If you feel […]
| Zucchini Bread |
Inspired by Steal My Sunshine | LEN Me, we stole my sunshine. But It’s not because my Summer break, in an almost snowy Brazil around 5°, sucked that you – happy in the European sun – can’t have an urge to prepare a easy recipe to take to the beach, to a garden, a park or any […]
| Watermelon Gaspacho |
Inspired by Plage | Crystal Fighters Today it’s the 21st of june. It’s officially Summer. Only… the time to roll around on sand, attack that pile of books dominating your bedroom and eating not 5 but 20 fruits and vegetables per day hasn’t quite arrived yet. The beach. Perhaps it’s not for tomorrow but we can […]
| Cucumber Martini |
Inspired by Lights & Music (Boys Noize remix) | Cut Copy In NY I learned that every cocktail pour into a Martini glass was – almost – automatically called a “something martini” whereas to be worth the title there should be gin or vodka + dry vermouth involved. More precisely @ Mercer’s Kitchen (b/w Prince & Mercer […]
| Rodeio @ São Paulo |
Go there listening to Bad Things – Jace Everett (True Blood Soundtrack) Rodeio played a big part in my childhood! Up until I was about 12 my family ate there often (perhaps too) often. We went there so regularly that when the waiters saw me arrive they’d prepare our table with a cushion and paper napkins. […]
| Eton Mess |
Inspired by Strawberry Fields Forever (cover)| The Beatles As soon as the sun makes it appearance during winter after a long absence some start getting excited and see spring on the corner. Calm down : we still have to survive through february and march! Nevertheless, I don’t wanna be a party pooper. I just came back from […]
| Paprika Chicken & Green Curry Veggies |
Inspired by Aazma | Luck Soundtrack After a painful adventure in India during the Summer of 2009 I kept away, until today, from any food having the slightest touch of indian tradition. This being said, we’re starting a new year. 2001 is by the way, the year of happiness I’m telling you ! For that reason, […]
| Passionbread men |
Inspired by La Redécouverte | Yann Tiersen Gingerbread Men are for sure delicious but pretty boring. As the holidays approach we find them everywhere we go… I had this idea of rediscovering this holiday classic improvising with daring ingredients : try them out without spices but with passion fruit instead !
| Carrot Cake, Chocolate Sauce & Lime Zests |
Inspired by At Home | Crystal Fighters Carrot cakes are pretty common in Brasil with one huge difference compared to the anglo-saxon version : ours is better – always served with a thin chocolat sauce on top. My opinion is naturally biased since it’s linked to childhood memories…but today still each time I go back I […]
| Bread Pudding |
Inspired by Te Devoro | Djavan This secret (not for long) recipe of my grand-mother is, as we say it in Brazil, a true “poor’s desert”. Between us it’s a crazy love story and like Djavan – as kitch as he can be – I devour it when it looks at me. Easy to make and quite cheap, it’s […]
