| Chocolate & Passion Fruit Mousse |
Inspired by Old Love / New Love – Twin Shadow In Brazil we drink, eat and live out of passion fruit…it’s everywhere and it’s tasty & juicy ! I’ve always loved it since I was a child… be it as juice, jam or – of course – some sort of crazy sweet (welcome to Brazil!) dessert. Sadly, […]
| Caramelized Puffs |
Inspired by Royals | Lorde Want a little bit of general truth? It’s fucking freezing. Want some more? Everybody likes cream puffs, and they are easy to make! So yes, it’s simple, whenever you come home pissed off, caught in a wintery depression you can either go down and eat shit or you can take care of […]
| 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 […]
| 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 […]
