Salmon baked in foil and Lemon meringue tart, miam!!

Hi everybody,

What’s new in Pauline-Cuisine.com?
This week, as every Wednesday, I will give you two new recipes to try and comment: salmon baked in foil and lemon meringue tart.

I love salmon with dill, in particularly when it is cooked in a foil. I recently heard that is harmful to use aluminum foil so I advise you to use baking parchment. My first fear in using this type of paper is that juice can go off the foil but not at all. Even if, it still quite hard, for me, to make a nice paper parcel, the taste of this recipe is as good as cooked in a aluminum foil. So, I adopt baking parchment for my health. What is the next harmful thing?

The second recipe is less healthy that the first one. Since a few months, one of my friends gave me some dessert challenges. That is not I haven’t enough idea because I am sugar tooth, but I love achieve her challenge and discover new taste or new ingredient. So, when she asked me for a Lemon meringue tart, I was pleased to compete for this challenge because since a few years, this type of tart is a failure for me because I didn’t succeed in the meringue. But this time is old time now. My last lemon meringue tart was perfect, my guests enjoyed it and they were very impressed. I hope that you will have a same success when you will try to do it. I advise you to follow carefully the recipe and try it more once if the first one is not perfect. If you are afraid of the meringue, you can replace it by a chocolate drawing top, that is as good as meringue and this version is quite light toward the meringue one.

Have a nice week and don’t hesitate to try and comment the recipes.

Recipes of the week: Couscous and Panna Cotta with exotic fruits

Hi everybody,


This week is a big week because I will share with you two recipes that were born after meeting great people. The first cooking recipe is a Couscous with vegetables and dried fruits that I discovered during a friend’s birthday party; the second one is a Panna Cotta with exotic fruits that I created after meeting a Caribbean girl.

Let's talk about the Couscous with vegetables and dried fruits. I discovered this amazing sweet mix when I went to a Moroccan restaurant for a friend’s birthday. When I ate the dish in a fabulous Moroccan ambiance, I thought I had to try to do the same thing in my kitchen. So, when I came back, I bought some dried fruits, check in my freezer if I can add more fruits and I create this recipe of couscous with vegetables and dried fruits. The value-added of the recipe is that you can easily bring it at the office for lunch. Reheating this dish is really easy and it is tasty.

The second recipe was born from another big meeting. A few months ago, I went to a meeting with a lot of young entrepreneurships in order to increase my networking and try to find some answers and tips for settling my catering business in London. I met at this evening a person who have settled a business that sale some Caribbean food (here her great website www.carib-gourmet.com). She asked me if I can create some recipes with Caribbean food. At the beginning, I was quite afraid because I really don’t know about this type of food. So, I went to the supermarket and I grabbed some Caribbean fruits and I tried to create something nice. In the same time, I discovered the Panna cotta. I heard a lot about it but I have never tried since that moment. It was a pity because it tastes really nice. So, I decided to match my Panna cotta discovery with these Caribbean fruits and the result was amazing: strong and sweet taste with a really beautiful presentation. I advise you to try the Panna Cotta with exotic fruits, it is really good and fresh for dessert.

Have a nice week and don’t hesitate to try and comment the recipes.
