in my belly: March 2010

CHEZ LE BOUCHER

This is what you find when you go to buy meat in Paris. A nice butcher with a tie, a smile and a nice choice of terrines and pâtés that are usually homemade. Vive la France !

SPRING

Does it mean it's spring when you can sit in the sun with a bowl of strawberries ?

MADE IN AMERICA

This morning, I started my day with a nice reflexion on american culture with breakfast. There was a Jeff Koons hanging over my table !

CAMINO

A restaurant whith a prominent cooking fireplace, a huge one actually, where you could roast a whole cow.
3917 Grand avenue, Oakland, California

BIG BREAK

Walking around Ashbury in San Francisco made my belly feel hungry for some breakfast and american coffee, which we call in french "jus de chaussette".

COCONUT

Yesterday while I was drinking this coconut I decided to go live in a country where it's always sunny and hot, and where you can go to the beach whenever you want to drink some coconut.

APPLE PIE

With crème fraiche would make me very happy right now.

BAKESALE BETTY

This sunny sunday, I joined the happy crowd who waited in line for the best fried chicken sandwich ever.
5098 Telegraph avenue, Oakland, California

This morning, I went foraging some chanterelles in the woods. My guide came with a cute little pic nic with chocolate, cheese and warm coffee. Outside it was hot and sunny, and all the trees smelt like spring. It felt like paradise, looking for mushrooms and getting all muddy in this beautiful weather.

FROZEN YOGOURT

Frozen yogourt can make me so happy, especially when you can put your own toppings !

SUNDAY NIGHT

I decided to cook for friends every Sunday night. And this Saturday I found great medjool dates at Berkeley's farmers market. The next day they found themselves cooking with chicken, olives, vegetables, lots of spices and love.
