I like talking about food, and about cooking in particular.
Actually, this became my main premise for meeting new people after immigrating: I guessed that when they’re interested in food, there is a big chance that we might like each other! So I really hope my new Italian food friend will approve of this Oven roasted tomato sauce with bell pepper that I served over pasta.
About new and old friends: Pasta with Broccoli Rabe and anchovies
She may be the queen, but I prefer the modest princess.
Yeah, I’m talking veggies and made a great Pasta with broccoli rabe with fried red onions on top.

Watching French men eat: Red wine chicken and mushrooms stew
The man reminded me of my … eh … Well, how to bename our relationship? I called him Uncle Henry. And what fascinated me most was the way he ate. The man in the restaurant brought back that captivation. I just love watching French men eat.
I couldn’t see his plate, but I guessed the modern Californian style restaurant at the Ferry Building in San Francisco didn’t serve him this French classic coq au vin, the famous Red wine chicken and mushrooms stew. But he would probably loves it, just like my late Uncle Henry did.
Kale = kool
Did you know that one of the most popular Dutch dishes since ages is made with kale? But now I prepare kale Californian style, like in this Raw kale salad with glazed parsnips and a quick shallot confit.
