Recipe of the week: Multi-exotic fruits dessert

What’s cooking in Pauline’s Cuisine?

This week, I would like to share with you one of my new favourite dessert. I am actually a very sweet teeth and I enjoy eating desserts. Unfortunately, sometimes I don’t have enough time to elaborate them thankfully for my waist :).

So, I took the decision to read my various cook books and magazines in order to try to find quick and healthy desserts to do after my working day. I am not easy to satisfy so usually I take a recipe on a book and I amend it when I do it. Sometimes it is a success such as my new exotic recipe: Multi-exotic dessert, and sometimes it is a disaster as this weekend with a pear ice cream with chocolate chips without ice-maker. Let’s forget this disaster and focus on this tasty new recipe: Multi-exotic fruits.

It is a delicious mix of Mango, Pineapple and Passion fruits. But it is not a simply compote, I add some congolais in the bottom of the ramequin (it was an idea of the cookbook). The coconut flavour adds another tasty and delicious touch to this dessert. I served it two weeks ago to my guests, and they were glad to eat it with congolais and vanilla ice-cream on the side.  Try this recipe and don’t hesitate to let a comment.

I realised this recipe for my business partner: Carib Gourmet. The one with I will cook the Sunday feast on the 18th of November. For this occasion, she created a nice cartoon of us. I let you enjoy this funny drawing.

If you are like me, you enjoy dessert and colourful dessert is like a bonus for your dinner, I encourage you to try my little exotic range of dessert recipes: Panna Cotta with Exotic Fruits, Mango and coconut dessert and Passion Fruits cheesecake….

I wish you a nice week. See you next week with another lunch box recipe. I suppose that will be the last one because it is a cold lunch box with prawns, and the weather will become cooler and cooler.

Recipe of the week: Colourful Lunch box

What’s new in Pauline-Cuisine?

This week I would like to share with you my Saturday morning experience. I went with a friend to the wholesale fish market in London. It was amazing to see all these fishes and seafood, some were alive. I went at 6.00 am because it closes at 9.30 am, you need to wake early for taking the opportunity to see this huge fish market, but that is worth it. When I went I was not sure about what I was looking for and I was afraid of the selling quantity. But my fears are now all gone. I bought very fresh salmon filets, scallops and smoked salmon. I have already frozen my scallop and a part of my salmon filets. The other part, I used for doing my first homemade nigiris, it was really tasty. I know it is not French, but sometimes it is quite nice to switch to another type of Cuisine.

On the same subject on Sunday, I was to the Sunday feats of Budaya Kuisina (from Innovative Baker and Cheap Eats Blog). I ate tasty food and it was nice to just sit and wait for the food coming. I really appreciated a Tapioca brown cake (I really need to find how to do it) and an amazing salad which mixed cucumber and mango.

With all this weekend discoveries, I have a full of new ideas on my mind and I can’t wait to come back home and have time for doing some cooking experience and share with you my discoveries.

About discovery, this week, I will share with you one of my new lunch box: colourful salad. It is really easy to do and it is nice to see, and of course, tasty to eat. I let you enjoy this new recipe for putting sun in your lunch break. Don’t hesitate to comment the recipe.

As a real French girl, I always do bread for eating lunch box, I need my bread at each dish. It is why I take time to elaborate each of my bread recipe. So, with this recipe, I recommend you the whole beer bread with airy breadcrumbs.

I wish you a good week. See you next week with a sweet recipe: multi exotic fruits dessert.

Recipe of the week: Stuffed Tomatoes

What’s cooking in Pauline-Cuisine ?

This week was really busy and I had not enough time to cook, so I am a little bit frustrated. Anyway, I was busy because I promoted my company and my participation to the future Sunday Feats on Tuesday. Indeed, I will participate, with my business partner: Carib Gourmet, to the Sunday Feasts by Edible Experiences. The goal of this event is to give the opportunities to passionate cookers to cook for around 30 people each Sunday from September to October.  So, I will cook on the 18th of September at the School of Wok in London. If you would like to taste a French-Caribbean feast, don’t hesitate to book a seat. If you would like to know more about these Sunday Feats, don’t hesitate to read my article about it: From Pauline-Cuisine's home Kitchen  to School of Wok’s Kitchen.

As I promised in my August newsletter and in my last edito, this week, I will share with the recipe of Stuffed Tomatoes. It is one of my favorite dishes. It is not hard to do and I give in my recipe the recipe for doing your own stuffing. You can do it in a large portion and freeze it for eating after. Stuffed tomatoes are really nice for dinner and it is good for your lunch box, so it is worth the time spending to do it. Moreover, it’s a seasonal recipe, so enjoy it :)

If you like tomatoes, you can also serve them as a starter with this easy recipe: tomato-mozzarella salad.

Homamade Guava yogurt and Fried Beef with Red chilies

What’s cooking in Pauline-Cuisine ?

10 months after the official birth of Pauline-Cuisine, I decided to renew it with a new design, themed categories and friendly navigation way. I let you discover all these new things such as a button that allows you to print the recipe, new sharing buttons…

Let’s discover, enjoy and comment everything. Don’t hesitate to contact me by email in order to give me your feedback about this new website and the different things that you would like to have for becoming an addict to my delicious and easy recipes website.

The main objective of this website is to share with you my easy French recipes, I know I missed it these last few weeks but I didn’t forget you and I will give you 2 new recipes for this week:  Homemade Guava yoghurt and Fried Beef with chilies.

The Guava jam is another delicious discovery from Petite Douceur, a self employed girl that is specialized on creating jam with exotic fruits. After the Pineapple jam (here is the recipe of Homemade Pineapple Yoghurt), I have enjoyed this tasty, exotic and innovative jam. Petite Douceur Guava jam is really fabulous with homemade yoghurt… I will enjoy it until clearing the pot and order a new one of course :)

The second recipe: Fried Beef with red chilies is an outsider recipe on my website. But it is too difficult to live in London and didn’t try to do some oversea recipes. I am a huge fan of this dish when I eat in a Chinese restaurant. The first time, I was really impressed by the way to serve this dish, still sizziling. So, I decided to recreate this delicious dish in my “Cuisine” and share with you my recipe. It is great, I let you try it and let post comments about it.

At the end, I would like to spotlight my News department, where I will post articles regarding my cookery discoveries. For my first article I chose to speak about a new bilingual magazine: Fricote; from Fricote magazine to making my homemade "Jaffa Cake". I let you discover it, and don’t hesitate to share some ideas about it.

I wish you a nice week. See you new week with a delicious seasonal recipe: Stuffed Tomatoes.

Passion fruits cheesecake

Hi everybody,

It was a long time without news, but I was quite busy with my wedding (a really wonderful day) and my new job and first job in London. This weekend, it is the first time when I can sit down enough time for sharing with you two new recipes: Light passion fruits cheesecake and Endives salad with walnuts.

When I tried a cheesecake for the first time, I was really disappointed by the taste. It was a pity because it is quick to make but you have to cook in the oven for 50 minutes. After this first disappointment, I let it down the fact to make some cheesecake. But it was really hard in England; most of the cakes are cheesecake. I decided to give me another try. I added some flavor to the yogurt, added a crispy biscuit and a passion fruits topping. The result was amazing. I did these small cakes for my last guests and they enjoyed it. Try it and post a comment.

The second recipe is a starter. I fed up of soup; indeed the last days were really hot. I am now in the mood to create new salads as a starter or as a dish. Moreover, now, I am back to work and I need to prepare my lunch box every days. So, I will nearly post a lot of fabulous and tasty recipes for doing fresh lunch box for your summer lunch at work.

I wish you a nice week and successful cooking experiences. Don’t hesitate to comment the recipes or ask for more details.

See you next week with special BBQ recipes with my favorite sweet and sour chicken skewers and grilled eggplant.

Recipe of the week: Salmon quiche

Hi everybody,


I am quite overbooked this time and I try to keep time to upload my website but it is tricky. Anyway, this week, I will give you the recipe of salmon quiche. It is a really easy and tasty recipe.

I discovered this recipe when I ate a dinner at a friend's home in Paris. She cooked this pie because she enjoys salmon and she cooked salmon in so many different ways. When I came back home, I tried to reproduce the taste and now I have the habit to cook this pie when I have some guests. Indeed, it is easy to eat because you can eat it with fingers, you can reheat it easily... It is a perfect recipe for lunch box too.

I enjoy the taste of salmon; it is one of my favorite fish, so I tried a lot of recipes with it. But sometimes it is not a success but sometimes is really nice and I share the recipe with you. If you are a regular visitor of my cooking website, perhaps you have already tried one of my salmon recipes. Did you post a comment?

If you are a new visitor, I encourage you to see my two others salmon recipes: the posh salmon toast (really nice for appetizers, it is fresh and the guests enjoy eating it) and the salmon in parcel (nice and light recipe, perfect dish for romantic dinner or treat for yourself).

I hope you will enjoy my new salmon recipe: salmon quiche. Try it and don’t hesitate to comment it.

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.
