Asparagus with Lemon Caper Sauce

April 23, 2015 By info@valerieskeepers.com 1 Comment

It’s asparagus season! Yay! I looove asparagus and not just because it signals the arrival of Spring. I know these days they’re around pretty much year-round in supermarkets, but nothing beats the freshness and taste of locally-grown asparagus. I especially love the fact that it is considered perfectly good manners to eat asparagus with your fingers, so you have…

One-Pan Slow-Baked Salmon

April 22, 2015 By info@valerieskeepers.com 2 Comments

I have a feeling you’re going to love me for this One-Pan Slow-Baked Salmon. A delicious, super easy dinner in just 20 minutes with only one pan to clean! Sounds to good to be true? I came accross  a test that Bon Appétit did recently to find the perfect oven temperature and cooking time for slow-baking…

Tunisian Tuna Salad

April 16, 2015 By info@valerieskeepers.com Leave a Comment

This Tunisian Tuna Salad makes me think of the sun, probably because it’s so colorful like so many Mediterranean dishes are. It is loaded with crunchy  vegetables, juicy tomatoes, fresh herbs and the olives and capers add a beautiful tang. Serve it with toasted pita bread as a starter or light main course. Don’t hesitate to add  a diced hard-boiled egg for…

Beet Salad with Whipped Goat Cheese

April 11, 2015 By info@valerieskeepers.com Leave a Comment

Two years ago my girlfriends and I went to visit a friend in Chicago for a long week-end. Our first night in Chicago was really memorable. Well, first of all, let’s be honest, how often do you get to go on a long week-end with your girlfriends? With NO kids and NO husbands?  We were like teenagers again!…

Muesli Bars

April 3, 2015 By info@valerieskeepers.com Leave a Comment

I started making my own Muesli bars a few years ago and never went back to buying them. They are really easy to make and much tastier than most of the commercial products out there which are loaded with awful things like refined sugar, palm oil and ingredients you can’t even pronounce! Like Michael Pollan, the food writer, says: “Don’t…

North Indian Chicken Curry

North Indian Chicken Curry

This North Indian Chicken Curry is the best chicken curry recipe I’ve ever made and it’s bursting with flavors. I have been craving Indian food ever since it made front page news earlier this month (you have probably heard this already) when it was announced that scientists have discovered exactly why we love Indian food so much. They analyzed…

Beef and Guinness Pot Pies

March 12, 2015 By info@valerieskeepers.com Leave a Comment

When you live with an Irish man, there is no escaping St-Patrick’s Day! This has been my go-to recipe for every St-Pats since I’ve known Jamie. This recipe reunites everything he loves: beer, beef and stew… and not just any beer, but his favorite, Guinness. No need to tell you that it’s always a big success, the only drawback he would…

Ricotta Gnudi with Pomodoro Sauce

ricotta gnudi

These Ricotta Gnudi with Pomodoro Sauce are little pillows of deliciousness! Gnudi is actually a kind of pasta but made with ricotta cheese with a bit of flour (not to be mistaken with Gnocchi, which is made from potatoes). I find that Gnudi is a lot lighter than Gnocchi. Gnudi also means “naked” in Italian. Think of it as a…

Quick Pomodoro Sauce

March 10, 2015 By info@valerieskeepers.com 4 Comments

I’m always impressed with the fact that with Italian food, more often than not, less is more! This is especially true with this Quick Pomodoro Sauce. It has just 5 ingredients and lacks nothing in flavor. A great tomato sauce should be easy as it has so few ingredients, but balancing them together is really difficult. It also helps…

This Raspberry Ricotta Cake recipe is really special. I’ll tell you, the day my Bon Appétit Magazine comes in the mail is a great day! It’s an even greater day when you start going through it and you see a recipe that you just have to do…NOW! This is what happened when I saw this…
