Asian Chicken skewers

What’s cooking in Pauline-Cuisine?

One more week lazy and tired, so I will share with you some really easy and quick recipe with an Asian touch. In fact, I was a little bit nostalgic of our dinner at the Japanese restaurant near where we lived in Paris, so I wanted to recreate the chicken skewers.

I was in the mood of skewers because two weeks ago (before being really sick) I bought a new pan. In fact, last time that I have tried to cook some skewers, I used my oven (because it was too cold for using the outside BBQ) and I was really disappointed by the result and I had a hard clean job to do after using all the stuff because everything has sticked. So last time, when I saw an online offer for a Tefal grill pan, I decided to buy it. That was a great purchase. I was at the beginning a little bit surprise by the square sharp of the pan but after the first use, I totally understood this sharp, that is perfect for cooking skewers.

I have really enjoyed this simple Asian recipe with soya sauce, honey and sesame. This new pan was a real advantage and the dinner was perfect. It was great for my next day lunch box as well.

Apricot treat and homemade yogurt

What’s going on in Pauline-Cuisine?

Sorry for my absence from last week but I was badly ill and I couldn’t go out to my bed and cook, so no new recipes went on going and all my grocery that I have ordered became out of date, so that is a pity, no strength for cooking and no food. I am a little poor thing :)

Anyway, as I had difficulty to eat, I focused on what I like the most and guest what! That is the sweet food. In my bed, I though about something that I usually saw in a famous French bakery in London: that is apricot in puff pastry. So I just try to imagine how to do it, I saw a friend to eat it so I had an idea of how to do it. When I feel a little bit better, I went out my bed and I defrost a puff pastry dough. When the dough was ready, I have prepared a frangipane and I took some apricots in a can and I began to do this little sweet thing. It was really delicious and I feel a little bit better after eating it. The frangipane was perfect with the apricot and you can choose the size of your dough in function of as sweet tooth as you are. Take the opportunity of the weekend for trying this quick and delicious treat or dessert.

The second recipe that I wanted to share with you is the one of homemade yogurt. I enjoy doing my yogurt and manage all the various taste of them. When I have checked my website two weeks ago I saw that I didn’t share with you the simple homemade yogurt, the one that you need for doing the yogurt cake with chocolate touch, so it is time to share with you this recipe. And if you have bored of the natural one, don’t hesitate to try the Homemade Guava yogurt or the Homemade Pineapple yogurt.

I wish you a nice week and see you next week with new recipes a little bit more Asian.

Lunch box: Semolina with sultanas and carrots - dessert: Cake with chocolate touch

What’s cooking in Pauline-Cuisine ?

This week was quite busy because I began a new job. It is always hard to arrive in a new company; I feel always uncomfortable and useless. Fortunately at the end of the week, I felt a little bit better.  In order to help me to bear all the day, I have decided to do a cake for my after working day treat. I made homemade yaourts last weekend, so I decided to bake a yaourt cake but with my sickness during Easter weekend, I wanted to take the opportunity to add some chocolate in my cake, so I have done a yaourt cake with chocolate. The cake was really tasty and looked really good, so I share with you this lovely recipe, try it :)

Another job, new range of lunch box! When I need to face to something stressful, I usually sleep a lot, so I don’t have a lot of time for cooking. For my last week lunch box, I have opted for easy and quick option. I have done carrots with semolina and sultanas lunch box. I have enjoyed it.

I wish you a nice week and see you next week for new tasty recipes.
