Yesterday I had lunch in the most gastronomic street in Paris. Rue Paul Bert is the home of three famous and highly praised Parisian restaurants. The number 13 – Le Temps au Temps (01 43 79 63 40), number 15 – Unico and number 18 – Le Bistro Paul Bert.…

Thanks, Jupiter, to the Roman friends! Like this, we didn’t have to go to a place full of tourists and mediocre food. Instead, we had a lovely lunch in Rome’s Jewish quarter. A very lively trattoria called Giggetto al Portico D’Ottavia. Now, I must confess, I love trattoria Italian food…

I don’t know how about you, but when I am Italy I don’t want to eat out in too gastronomic restaurants. For me, Italian cuisine is all about hearty, convivial food that I found in Matricianella, this simple and cosy restaurant in the heart of Rome. I did dine in…

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.

“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…
