Demande à un chef Italien de garnir une crêpe salée (pardon une galette) voilà qu’il va mettre des belles tomates fraiches, la mozzarella et un peu de basilic.. pas mal le résultat !

Sunday evening in Nice!

I’ve always blamed all Italians who go to Paris and look for pasta… well Sunday evening I was in Nice, in French Riviera, with my friend Teresa and we were looking for a restaurant, when I saw this wonderful pasta with lobster in this Italian restaurant I said « I want to stop here ! » it was just great..

detail of cake

blueberry cake

It looks innocent but its not.. between fruit cakes is maybe the richest one! sour cream and butter give the moist, blueberry give that scent that you will hardly resist!

"Artistic" fruity tarte

This cake would have pleased to Kandinski and his Squares with Concentric Circles! We have 4 colors of pastry cream: light blue (Curacao blu), pink (raspberry), yellow (lemon), orange (mango). The best view is from the sky so you can really see all circles made by different kind of fruits! What else? Is healthy and tasty, a perfect deal for coming summer!
