Over the past couple of weeks I have been torn between uncontrollable cravings for rich food to stop my teeth from clattering every time I step outside and a desire to shed my annual festive weight gain – typically calling for the opposite type of food. To solve this deep inner turmoil, I concocted for you a series of recipes smartly combining these two needs: they are well balanced, warming, and above all, mouth-lickin’ delicious. The notable exception to this virtuous issue is the Galette des Rois in the Tasty Extras section, a rich almond-based wonder of wonders eaten throughout January in France to celebrate Epiphany. Try it, it is just too devilishly good to even think of the calories involved (better not, actually…).  The three WorkWeek recipes include two easy, laid back meals to eat burried in the warmth of your kitchen and a wonderfully zesty 30-min monkfish dish. The Weekend Meal features a warming orange and ginger main that will help you fight frostbites, and fresh and light starter and dessert not to miss. Finally, I am happy to let you know my extended site is now live so check it out! Share your recipe and favourite restaurants in the Chatty Corner and don’t hesitate to comment on the TD recipes you tried. Enjoy the browsing et à jeudi prochain, Anne-Laure x.
