“La côte de boeuf” with shallots in red wine sauce

This recipe is for lazy people. I am even surprised myself by the wonderful outcome as I’ve never cooked ” côte de boeuf” before and the final results tasted as good as the ” côte de boeuf” in L’Aterlier du Joel Robuchon. (Except that there was no the mouth-watering Joel…

Tarte Tropézienne

Like expensive yachts or wild parties, Tarte Tropézienne is inseparable from the image of Saint Tropez. Basically, it is brioche with pastry cream inside. And it is the simplicity that makes the Tarte Tropézienne so wonderful.

The dish that made my evening

“Lamb confit, shredded and rolled in its crust”. A delicious Morrocan inspired dish by one-star Michelin chef Xavier Mathieu, from Hostellerie Le Phebus in Gordes. I didn’t find the rest of his cooking that inspiring though- it lacked consistency… But this dish was a perfection…

Restaurant de Bacon located in the old Antibes is another Tetou style fish restaurant that should be “a must” if one happens to be in that area. Like Tetou, Restaurant de Bacon is all about the long history of seafood preparation and remarkable quality products. In fact, it’s all about…

Bouillabaisse in Tetou

More I eat in Tetou, more I am convinced that they serve the best bouillabaisse in the world. No other bouillabaisse restaurants on Cote D’Azur can compare to the bouillabaisse in this legendary restaurant on the beach of Golfe Juan. (owned by the same family since 1920s) Why you might…

Enoteca Pinchiorri, Florence – praises to Italian gastronomy

There must be a good reason why Enoteca Pinchiorri has three Michelin stars and is among The World’s 50 Best Restaurants. (As I’ve mentioned before I don’t trust this particular list very much, but, still, such surveys can be good indicators.) Enoteca Pinchiorri in Florence is like L’Ambroisie in Paris…

Il Cibreo (Florence) – talent or marketing?

What I love about Italian food is that you don’t need to go to a fancy high-end place to enjoy it. Italian cooking is all about simplicity and conviviality and even in a simple “walk-in” trattoria, you will most likely find what you are looking for. But I wouldn’t be…

The ingenuity of Le Pré Catelan

I have a new favourite chef in Paris and his name is Frédéric Anton. It’s not that I didn’t know him- he used to be a frequent Joel Robuchon’s guest in Gourmet TV (I was a big fan!), which is unfortunately not airing anymore. Frédéric Anton definitely stood out from…
