Mushroom risotto:

It's a delicious dish made of champignon mushrooms and Italian round rice...but with a twist. Instead of cream, you have to add mascarpone cheese, which just makes the whole item a lot more savoury. Oh I also added dried ceps ( a kind of mushroom).

My husband made weird faces while eating the dish. It's not the  mushrooms that made him go crazy.

Chard pie:

If the name sounds very uncommon, you're absolutely right. I've been cooking without paying attention to what the French terms would be in actual English, so when it came to translating this dish, 'Tourte aux blettes' in French, I had no idea and had to search the internet.  To me, chard is very similar to spinach and the pie that I made turned out to be quite good.

Triple delight:
Yes, that's how I'm going to name my dessert. The idea came to me once I ate a pastry from a famous pastry shop in Marseille 'Dupuichaffray'. I had the idea to make a laired pastry and here's the result (see the photos below).

The bottom layer is old school brownie, then there is raspberry jelly, followed by chocolate mousse (or cream, as my mousse didn't form!). On top of it, I put chantilly. A gorgeous dessert!

Navarin d'agneau:
I've been living in France for more than six months now and I love trying out different new recipes, to the delight of my husband. Here is one of the dishes that I did recently "Navarin d'agneau". Navarin d'agneau is a dish made with lamb meat and vegetables.

My husband loves to eat, and so do I! One day he heard something about Navarin d'agneau on TV and he said 'If you could make me a Navarin d'agneau...mmmmmm'.

I had recently bought some lamb meat so I got started the day after.

Needless to say, Gilles (my hubby), was extremely pleased with the end result. The lamb was succulent and so tender...unbelievable!
