<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hôtel Daniel, 8 rue Frédéric-Bastiat, Paris 8eme is apparently a &#8216;bonne addresse&#8217; to treat oneself to tea and divine tasting pastries. For those lucky enough to have rapid metabolism,  it looks like a must visit.  For the rest, it is more than enough to look longingly at what Hôtel Daniel has to offer (see video below):</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The sun is out and while it is premature to do so, it is difd it also stimulates the temptation to  put together  summer-y, French salad for dinner. One of my favourites  has always been &#8216;Salade Niçoise&#8217;.</p>
<p>Recently, I  stumbled upon a recipe that is supposed to be  one for &#8216;le vraie salade niçoise&#8217;. I&#8217;ll try it out tonight, see how it goes.</p>
<p>I guess living in Paris is not at all about eating in restaurants &#8211; especially for students  &#8211; but rather having an excellent collection great, easy and quick recipes! The city is a fantastic place to shop for  ingredients and sharpen one&#8217;s home cooking skills. And, of course,needless to say that eating out is expensive for students on a budget.</p>
<p>Here goes tonight&#8217;s recipe from the French blog, Le Menu du Marche:</p>
<p><a href="http://anonsparis.files.wordpress.com/2012/03/salade-nicoise-au-thon.jpg"><img src="http://anonsparis.files.wordpress.com/2012/03/salade-nicoise-au-thon.jpg?w=480&#038;h=321" alt="" title="s" width="480" height="321" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1983" /></a></p>
<p>Ingrédients</p>
<p>    200 g de mesclun<br />
    6 tomates<br />
    1 gousse d’ail<br />
    1 poivron vert<br />
    1 bulbe de fenouil<br />
    8 cébettes (ou oignons blancs)<br />
    8 radis<br />
    1 branche de céleri<br />
    150 g de fèves fraîches<br />
    4 œufs durs<br />
    1 boîte de thon au naturel<br />
    8 filets d’anchois<br />
    10 feuilles de basilic<br />
    80 g d’olives noires<br />
    huile d’olive<br />
    sel, poivre</p>
<p>Préparation</p>
<p>Lavez et séchez délicatement le mesclun.<br />
Frottez quatre assiettes avec la gousse d’ail épluchée.<br />
Répartissez les tomates en quartiers, le mesclun, le poivron et le fenouil en lamelles fines, les cébettes coupées en deux, les radis en quatre et le céleri émincé.<br />
Ajoutez les fèves, les œufs durs en quartiers, le thon et les filets d’anchois.<br />
Parsemez de basilic et d’olives noires, arrosez d’huile d’olive, salez et poivrez. Servez aussitôt</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So, &#8216;The Artist&#8217; is all over the news after its history making winnings at the OScars over the past weekend.  Among the barrows of awards that the film walked away with was one for the music score, which is quite beautiful &#8211; judging from the few pieces of it that h I&#8217;ve stumbled across. I think in this extract of the  film&#8217;s score is a piece of &#8216;fantasie d&#8217;amour&#8217;.  Good to see an improbable French experiment win both critical and commercial success. Bravo!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This past weekend I was in the role of nurse, and tried my hand at a few recipes  to help my partner revive from a very bad cold. He is clearly much bette rnow because  we had a fight yesterday. Good to see that he is back to his old self and strong enough to be catty.</p>
<p>Well, in addition to being about him, I also enjoyed the dishes.  Apart from a good, old chicken soup,  a Beef Bourgignon and Tarte aux Citrons were two culinary highlights of the weekend. The former,  fortified with protein and several vitamins and the latter overdosed with lemon for maximal nutrients.</p>
<p>Recipes are as follows, en français: </p>
<p><strong>Boeuf Bourgignon</strong><br />
<em>Taken from <a href="http://www.750g.com/">750grammes.com</a>, a gold mine of French recipes</em></p>
<p><a href="http://anonsparis.files.wordpress.com/2012/02/boeuf-bourguignon.jpg"><img src="http://anonsparis.files.wordpress.com/2012/02/boeuf-bourguignon.jpg?w=399&#038;h=499" alt="" title="boeuf-bourguignon" width="399" height="499" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1879" /></a></p>
<p>INGREDIENTS</p>
<p>Pour 6 personne(s)</p>
<p>- 1,5 kg de boeuf pour bourguignon</p>
<p>- 200 gr de lardons</p>
<p>- 60 gr de beurre</p>
<p>- 10 petits oignons</p>
<p>- 2 carottes</p>
<p>- 2 gousses d&#8217;ail</p>
<p>- 60 gr de farine (4 c.à.s.)</p>
<p>- 2 grands verres de vin rouge (50cl) bourgogne évidemment</p>
<p>- 2 grands verres de bouillon de viande</p>
<p>(Je met 2 cubes de bouillon de boeuf pour 50cl = 1/2 de litre d&#8217;eau)</p>
<p>- 250 gr de champignons</p>
<p>- 1 bouquet garni, sel et poivre</p>
<p>PREPARATION<br />
Tailler le boeuf en cubes de 3 à 4 cm de côte. Peler les oignons sans les écorcher. Peler et couper les carottes en rondelles pas trop fines (2mm au minimum). Peler l&#8217;ail et enlever le germe.</p>
<p>Dans une grande cocotte, faire fondre le beurre. Ajouter les oignons entiers et les lardons. Faire revenir en remuant constamment. Lorsqu&#8217;ils sont dorés, les retirer avec un écumoire, et réserver</p>
<p>Dans la même cocotte, faire revenir les morceaux de viande à feu vif. Ajouter les carottes, et faire revenir encore 5 min</p>
<p>Lorsque la viande est bien dorée, saupoudrer de farine (60g) et laisser roussir en remuant toujours.</p>
<p>Verser le bouillon (que vous aurez préparé en faisant fondre les 2 cubes de bouillon de viande dans 50 cl d&#8217;eau bouillante).</p>
<p>Bien gratter les sucs. Remettre les lardons et les oignons dans la cocotte. Verser le vin rouge. Saler, poivrer et ajouter le bouquet garni et les gousses d&#8217;ail écrasées. Porter à ébullition. Couvrir et laisser mijoter doucement pendant 3 heures. (petits bouillons</p>
<p>Au bout de ce temps, ajouter les champignons émincés, et mettre à cuire encore une demi-heure.</p>
<p>Retirer le bouquet garni et verser dans un plat.</p>
<p>Servir avec des pâtes (tagliatelles par exemple), ou des pommes de terre vapeur</p>
<p>(La sauce doit être liée, mais non épaisse. Sinon, rajouter un peu d&#8217;eau)</p>
<p><strong>Tart aux Citron</strong><br />

<p>One of the culinary highlights of the past week was a well made Quiche à la Dijonnaise that I made for my partner.  I took the French recipe from <a href="http://www.amora.fr/recettes/r-60-quiche-a-la-dijonnaise">here</a> and look forward to making more of this week&#8217;s &#8216;hit&#8217; in the future:</p>
<p>1 rouleau de pâte feuilletée<br />
2 tranches de jambon blanc<br />
200g de gruyère râpé<br />
4 à 5 c. à soupe de moutarde mi-forte<br />
20 cl de crème fraîche<br />
3 oeufs<br />
Sel<br />
Poivre</p>
<p>Préchauffez le four à 210°C. Etalez la pâte feuilletée et posez-la dans un moule à tarte. Piquez le fond de la tarte avec une fourchette. Réservez-la au réfrigérateur.</p>
<p>Dans un saladier, mélangez la crème fraîche, les oeufs et le gruyère râpé. Salez et poivrez.</p>
<p>Badigeonnez le fond de la tarte avec la moutarde mi-forte Amora. Posez par-dessus le jambon coupé en lamelles, de façon à recouvrir toute la surface.</p>
<p>Puis versez la préparation à base d&#8217;oeufs et de crème sur la garniture. Enfournez et faîtes cuire pendant 30 min jusqu&#8217;à ce que la quiche soit bien dorée.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://anonsparis.files.wordpress.com/2012/02/img_46711.jpg"><img src="http://anonsparis.files.wordpress.com/2012/02/img_46711.jpg?w=480&#038;h=517" alt="" title="IMG_4671" width="480" height="517" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1670" /></a></p>
<p>I shamelessly admit that a considerable amount of the time spent here is consumed by eating, and eating well while at it.  A happy stomach eqauls good academic results, is my justitification.</p>
<p>So, tonight was a traditional French dish, well known beyond France. We had it with a good bottle of red served with courgette and carrot. Great home made food for sub-zero temperature eating!</p>
<p>The recipe&#8217;s below&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>GRATIN DAUPHINOIS</strong></p>
<p><em>Ingredients</em><br />
800 g potatoes<br />
25 cl whole milk<br />
50 cl de crème fraîche (30 + 20)<br />
salt<br />
pepper<br />
nutmeg<br />
1 large knob of butter<br />
3 garlic cloves</p>
<p>Wash, peel and the potatoes in approximately 3 mm thick slices. Do not rinse after slicing.<br />
Place them in a saucepan along with 25 cl milk (whole milk if available), a large knob of butter, salt, pepper and nutmeg.<br />
Bring to a boil then lower the heat slightly and continue to cook for about 10 minutes.<br />
Stir from time to time with a spatula to avoid sticking to the pan.<br />
Potatoes will be coated with a cream.<br />
Then add 20 cl of crème fraîche.<br />
Leave to cook on low heat for about 10 minutes.<br />
Remove from the heat, add garlic.<br />
Delicately place the potatoes in a gratiné pan.<br />
Level the surface and leave to cool so that flavours blend.<br />
Bake at 180° for 20 to 30 minutes.<br />
Serve in the baking pan.<br />
The true gratin dauphinois are not victim to grated cheese.<br />
For those who like it with cheese, before baking, place a layer of grated swiss cheese between each layer of potatoes. Finish with the cheese on top.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://anonsparis.files.wordpress.com/2012/02/fotolia_11410853_xs_-_chandeleur.jpg"><img src="http://anonsparis.files.wordpress.com/2012/02/fotolia_11410853_xs_-_chandeleur.jpg?w=419&#038;h=287" alt="" title="fillettes cuisinent crêpes" width="419" height="287" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1642" /></a></p>
<p>Today is candlemas in France &#8211; or as they call it here, la Chandeleur. It is one of the oldest feasts in Christian history that marks the presentation of Jesus Christ to the temple. According to Jewish customs of Christ&#8217;s day and still so among conservative Jews, mothers  who gave birth were required to present themselves and their newborns 40 days after the birth date to undergo a process of purification. So, candlemas within Latin Rite christianity falls 40 days after Christmas. (well, this is a very short version of the history of the feast. Nonetheless&#8230;)</p>
<p>Until now, my ideas of Candlemas&#8217; before France basically entailed run-of-the-mill lighting of candles, and perhaps attending mass set to Bach pieces or choral music.</p>
<p>Not so in France. La Chandeleur is marked by the eating of crepes. 10 points to France for tying the feast to a beloved food item.These are to be prepared and consumed after  8pm. More so, whoever gets to prepare them should try to flip a crepe while holding a coin in the other hand. If they can do so, this is viewed then as a sign of certain prosperity in the year ahead. Now, I am not too sure about the economic and financial reasoning here but in any case,  I guess   the task of flipping the crepe will be in the hands of my partner who has much better coordination of joints and muscles.</p>
<p>Another thing is for sure, flipping a crepe at fast speed while holding a coin and the superstitious guarantee of wealth is far more exciting than my staid, Anglican expectations of mass, candles, incense and Bach.</p>

<p>I am not sure how this is supposed to look like in the end but it sounds delicious. Tonight&#8217;s experiment in the kitchen is a fish dish that I poached from <a href="http://www.recette-regionale.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.recette-regionale.com</a> which is supposed to be a storehouse of all sorts of delicious French recipes by region.</p>
<p>Recipe is as follows (in French, translatable via google):</p>
<p><strong>Recette de filets de merlan aux courgettes</strong></p>
<p>Pour 4 personnes : </p>
<p>8 filets de merlan,<br />
2 échalotes,<br />
4 courgettes,<br />
1 c à soupe de persil haché,<br />
50 g de beurre, </p>
<p>50 g de gruyère râpé.</p>
<p>Assaisonnez les filets. </p>
<p>Pelez et hachez les échalotes, répartissez-les dans le fond d&#8217;un plat beurré allant au four. </p>
<p>Posez les filets de merlan par-dessus. </p>
<p>Recouvrez-les des courgettes lavées et coupées en rondelles. </p>
<p>Assaisonnez, répartissez le persil haché, parsemez de beurre en parcelles et de fromage râpé. </p>
<p>Faites cuire à four chaud pendant 20 mn en arrosant de temps en temps avec un peu d&#8217;eau. </p>
<p>Pour cette recette, il vaut mieux employer des petites courgettes qu&#8217;il n&#8217;est pas nécessaire de peler.</p>

<p>Earlier this evening I just what is  certainly the best chocolat chaud &#8211;  &#8216;hot chocolate&#8217; in the very strict sense of the word &#8211; on the planet. </p>
<p>The selection of chocolates and sweets is equally divine &#8211; a bit pricy in some cases, but worth every euro.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://anonsparis.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/pastry-paris.jpg"><img src="http://anonsparis.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/pastry-paris.jpg?w=480&#038;h=247" alt="" title="Pastry Paris" width="480" height="247" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1126" /></a></p>
<p>You have to love the punchy opening statement of Susan Hochbaum&#8217;s pitch for her new publication on Paris and its  strong link to dessert &#8211;  &#8220;In Paris, everything looks like dessert&#8221; she asserts. Thereafter, she  proceeds to provide evidence for her claim through a collection of images that demonstrate how all of Paris, is in fact, a gigantic collection of beautiful sweets and pastries.  &#8220;Pastry Paris&#8217; is her beautiful  recent publication dedicated to a love for a delicious city and the sweet treats that it has to provide.</p>
<p>Her <a href="http://www.susanhochbaum.com/PastryParis.html">website</a> is worth a visit; the slideshow is fantastic! </p>
