A Variety Of Healthy And Tasty Meals

Hello,

I agreed with the saying that, 'a healthy, balanced diet contains a variety of foods' and eat a variety of vegetables and fruits to get plenty of nutrients and fiber. It's true that, variety and colour are key to a healthy meal.

Asian people in general like to have a variety of choice on their plate, some we can say a healthy food and some not. If I can say, Asian food has a lots of spiced in it, and we don't like when the dish is too bland. No need to put a lot of sauce here and there, just a bit salt, pepper and some spiced like chili and ginger. I love when our friends enjoyed the foods that I prepared with plenty of tastes and little by little it change the way they prepare their own food as well. J'adore ça!

Here's a few simple dishes that I used to cook a home. Cooking is fun and home cooked food is often healthier than restaurant food. So, let's cook!

A variety of salads

A variety of fish dishes

A variety of prawns dishes

A variety of pasta and noodles dishes

A variety of vegetables and seafood dishes

Have a good day everyone!

Traditional Brittany Crêpes

Bonsoir,

In Brittany, who doesn't know how to make a crêpe? It just a matter of time, you want or you don't want to do it. Nowadays, most of people make crepes using a non-stick tefal pan or electric crepe maker called the "bilig". The traditional or old way of making crepes for Brittany people are using griddle or "poêle en fonte" just like my MIL made her simple crepes at home. I've met some local people here and when we talk about crepes, they don't know how to use griddle because it more difficult to create round shape crepe on a griddle. Thanks to my MIL for teaching me how to make crepe using griddle and make a crepes batter without any specific recipe or measurement. We just need to know the basic ingredients, as simple as that. Now, I used only griddle to make crepes, it's so much easy for me and at the same time, the crepes looks so nice.

French loves eating crepes especially Brittany people. With or without filling, crepes are delicious on its own.

TRADITIONAL BRITTANY CREPES

2 cups flour, more or less
1/2 cup sugar
3 eggs
2-3 cups milk, more or less
A pinch of salt
1 tablespoon melted butter, optional

METHOD;

- In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, eggs and a pinch of salt.
- Add milk little by little and whisk until well combine.
- Add in melted butter and gently whisk until it form a smooth batter.
- Let the batter rest for a few minutes.
- Heat up the griddle with little oil, make sure the griddle really hot before spreading the batter.
- Use ladle and pour the batter onto hot griddle, use the back of a ladle and evenly smear the batter in circles, spreading as thin as possible.
- The rest is just like making a normal crepe, brown on both sides and serve hot or cold, with or without filling.

Bon appétit!

Endive Salad

Bonjour,

I'm not really a salad lover, it's depend of the salad, if it a papaya or mango salad then I'd love so much. But, I discovered not long ago that I like endive salad, made by mon mari, it was so good and I love it since then. I had this salad almost everyday since there are endives season and would make the most of it. Simple and healthy yet so delicious. Without any specific ingredients or measurement, just chopped salads and mix things up.
