| The San Francisco Handshake |
Inspired by MGMT | The Handshake spotify:track:7gIiIdRiiK1LoN4LBCCwHp This summer, during a fun stay in Crown Heights, Brooklyn (more about that soon on the blog!)

| Empanadas |
Inspired by Kate Bush | Babooshka So while apparently everyone from Paris and New York rushed to London – the lucky ones who got a ticket for Kate Bush’s out of the blue come back – I took some time to go visit my brother and wife in sunny Barcelona, or El Mas Nou, to be […]
| Lemon Tart |
Inspired by Woodlock | Lemons If I had to choose, the Brazilian in me imposes it, I would always choose limes over lemons. Nevertheless there are 3 reasons why lemons won a special place in my heart lately : I recently stumbled upon a greatest hits clip from Liz Lemon, a hero. I loved that show […]
| Raspberry Tart |

| Spaghetti alla Puttanesca |

| Green Asparagus Quiche |
Inspired by Saturne (Remix) | Freaky Little Things Plain quiches (with only the traditional “appareil à crème prise”) are a like Saturn withouth Youan’s remix, boring…!

This is totally the season and we see them everywhere, […]
| Dark Chocolate Almond Cake |
Inspired by All I Want | Bob Moses All everyone wants, really… is a good Dark Chocolate Cake, isn’t it? One bite can instantaneously change your mood from wanting to hurt cute little animals to feeling happier than Lucy (my favorite YouTube star baby) who understands exactly how I feel about desserts, and food generally. My good friend – & muse […]
