Simply..cooking....

I'm cooking little starters and dainty desserts.

Some of you will know that my husband does most of the cooking. (Lucky me! He asked me once to teach him to cook. I taught him everything I knew and then left him to it....)

But inspired by French Women Don't Get Fat (see here) I've been trying some of Mireille Guiliano's simplest dishes to compliment and add interest to our meals. I'm really enjoying it and remembering how lovely whole milk is, and butter, and real chocolate, good cheese and nice wine....and still the extra pounds are slowly disappearing. It's an intelligent book (and the secret's in the portion size...)

What are you cooking?

Dare I say it, my husband does (all of) the cooking. Lucky me.

i am definitely the cook in our household. lately i have been dragging out recipes from the 80's and we have really been enjoying them. i've done a bit of adjusting for sugar, but have made a baked ricotta pudding, and an almond puff (also known as swedish kringle). in the interests for reducing carbs, i mashed cauliflower instead of potatoes, to serve with a roast...and could have eaten the WHOLE thing before dinner! too good!

Sounds like a great menu Chez Julia! Must try cauliflower like that. Thank you for sharing.
