Mini Chocolate mousse

What’s cooking in Pauline-Cuisine?

I was a bit late in my weekly edito, but I am quite busy for the moment.

Last week, one of my trainee at the office had finished her time at the company, so I wanted to cook something for her goodbye “party”. I had no idea at the beginning because I wanted to do something pretty and convenient to travel because I need to take the underground everyday for going to work. So, I opted for mini chocolate mousse. For a nice presentation, I used disposable shooter glace and add some sugar sparkles on the top of the chocolate mousse. Everyone at the office enjoys it. It was the right size and the strong chocolate taste was really good. Try it and add a comment to the post.

Another cooking experience was last Sunday; I have done my Sunday feast with Carib Gourmet. It took a long time to prepare but it is worth it and it was a success. We have welcomed 14 guests and it was enough for having a good ambiance at the table. Our guests were happy about the food even if there are too much food to eat. I have enjoyed this experience and I am proud to have done it. At the end of the feast, each guest received a goodie bag which contained tasty Congolais. They brought them at home like a little present. I was happy to receive the next day some text (from friend) which said there were delicious. If you want to try to cook some Congolais, don’t hesitate to try my recipe on the website and leave comment.

I wish you a nice week.

See you next week with the recipe one my main dish at the Sunday Feast: Tartiflette “à la mode” Créole.

Recipe of the week: Chicken and mushrooms with Béchamel

Hi everybody,

What’s new in Pauline-Cuisine this week?

This week, I give you the recipe for a Chicken and mushrooms with béchamel “gratin”, it is a really French recipe and it is easy to do and tasty to eat. In this recipe, I give you the recipe for doing your homemade béchamel. I remember, when I was a student in Grenoble, my mother gave me a recipe for a dish with béchamel and she said me, buy a can of béchamel, it is easy to use and you can’t failed the recipe. But, when I wanted to buy the Béchamel in the supermarket, I didn’t find it, so I asked to a vendor and she replied me: do it yourself. But, I had no idea of how to do a béchamel, so I decided to cook something else. Then, I visited a friend in Germany and she explained me how to do a Béchamel for her lasagna, I discovered that it is so easy to do it. And now, I do my Béchamel homemade and I can decide the quantity of butter or the amount of cream that I want.

At the end of the week, it will be Easter and I would like to give you some chocolate recipes for making your own Easter chocolate, but I am not as good as I want for doing it. I hope I will improve my technique and try to be ready for the next Easter. Meanwhile, I went to France the last weekend, and I found a great book about Easter chocolate, I hope it will help me. Unfortunately for the moment this beautiful book is still on its bag, I don’t have enough time to try it, but I will try to find time until Easter because I have some desserts to prepare for a friend who invite me at a Easter party. Anyway, for Easter, you can make the chocolate and coconuts mousse, it is so delicious and it is different to the traditional Easter chocolate.

I wish you a happy Easter.
Have a nice week and don’t hesitate to share your cooking experience on www.pauline-cuisine.com.
