A new little oven and a Provencal cheese pie

Dinner
-Thai like soup
-Provencal cheese pie
-Mini tomatoes
-Carrot salad
-Lettuce (Lamb lettuce)
-Raw cauliflower
-Falafel

A new oven has taken place in my little kitchen! Therefore I can continue my pie craziness. A few guests came by to have a little chat this evening and joined us for dinner. My stay in Poland has changed some of my habits, and I now often start a meal with a little soup. This Thai soup was made of julienned carrots, maize, broad beans, mungo beans sprouts and chive. Truly refreshing. Then, a little plate full of salad with a magical Provençal cheese cake with dried tomatoes. Bear is totally fond of it, and it was one of the pies he asked me to bake for his goodbye party when we left Poland.

Lentils pot for a real joy

Dinner
-Lentil pots
-Rice
-Kohlrabi and nut seasoning

Tonight, I was feeling lonely and shuffled through my cupboards to see what was left. I’m not buying long life ingredients when I finish them as we are going to leave at the end of next month. I found these forgotten lentils and dreamed of an easy heart warming hot lentils pots with white Arborio rice toped with my favourite homemade furitake.
When, Bear came back home tired from a hard day at work, he gently made himself comfortable in my arms and appreciated this little quickly made and so easy meal full with love. Maybe this is the mysterious ingredient which made this lentil pot so tasty?

Parmentier: better texture, better taste!

Dinner
-Hachis parmentier
-Lettuce

Yesterday, I was putting forward this new meat substitute I baked. Bear found the real meal where this minced seitan would reveal all it’s power: hachis parmentier. What changed from the last recipe? Natural seitan minced is chewy like if you had some pieces of chicken in whereas this solution is more minced meat alike. Moreover the spices are nearer to what we were expecting. So, the result: incredible and so “lecker”! Yes, I’m watching too much German cooking programs on TV.

Blinis castle, luckiest girl ever

Dinner
-Blinis castle with mushroom, spinach, and creamy mushroom sauce
-Vegan muffins with a cup of tea

This is Bear’s best creation ever: a spinach and mushroom blinis castle. At first sight it seems really heavy. But the fact that he went for blinis better than pancakes makes it melt in the mouth. The creamy mushroom sauce is the final touch that makes you fall in love with this meal.
Did you know that this was one of my birthday present last month?

At last some time together, three colour Duchesses with spicy lentil sesame balls with their creamy dip and salad

Dinner
-Pea and mint purée in Duchesse
-Carrot purée in Duchesse
-Potato purée in Duchesse
-Coral lentils spicy balls
-Cucumber slices
-Spinach leaves
-Creamy dip

As I told you, Bear is working a lot and so do I. I fill the lonely evenings with more work, or surfing on your blogs. But tonight it’s different. Bear sent me a text message that he would be able to join me for dinner. So, I put a bottle of our hometown wine to cool and started messing my kitchen. And this is our meal: three colour Duchesses with spicy lentil sesame balls with their creamy dip and salad.
The result was colourful, the taste amazing and Bear’s smile unforgettable. I believe that love and food have a strong link…;)
