Salmon Tartare is one of our favorite starters, especially during spring and summer time. It’s easy to bring in different flavors from cuisines around the world. This time I wanted to add a crunchy texture and a touch of Asia, so I added a few extra ingredients like avocado, bell pepper, and snow peas. The crunchy texture of the bell pepper and snow peas make a great combination with the creamy avocado and salmon.
Spice Emporium is one of the best traditional Thai restaurants outside of Thailand that we have been to so far. Everytime we visit Dubai, it’s on our to-do list, and we try to go there at least once. They have always impressed us with new delicious dishes, made in a very authentic way by chefs from Thailand.
Nearly every time my husband is traveling overseas, I’m trying to get the girls together for a girls night at my house. For our recent girls night, I wanted to make a dessert that’s not too sweet and not too high in carbs. That’s when I thought of changing the delicious Italian “Torta al Cioccolato Morbide” into a low-carb “Dark Chocolate Cake with Forest Berry Foam”. The richness of the dark chocolate and the sourness of the berries make a great combination. It was so delicious, and we all liked it. You should give it a try…
We just returned home after a few days in Dubai where we enjoyed the food and the various international flavors. We ate at one of our favorite Thai restaurants several times, and it was so delicious! Inspired by this experience, and thinking about what to cook for dinner tonight, I decided to go for Thai. I wanted to combine the crunchy texture of the Laab Gai Salad (minced chicken salad) and the spicy creamy flavor of the Thai Red Curry. To keep it light and healthy, I served it on Chinese cabbage, which you can fold into a wrap. You can serve this dish as a starter (8 servings) or a main dish (4 servings).
My family and I love to eat meat, especially a nice fillet of beef or côte à l’os on the barbecue in the summer. Lately, I read a lot about cooking meat to perfection by vacuuming it and then cooking it on very low temperature for longer times, which inspired me to buy a Sous-Vide cooker and a vacuum sealer. After experimenting with veal and beef, I can confirm that the results are overwhelming. The meat is completely pink inside, very soft, so soft that it almost melts in your mouth – it’s simply delicious!
