About Me

My photo
Many things (both good and less good) have happened in my life lately, so in November 2013 I decided to take a break from the "Corporate world" to sort out my life situation. One of many things that I decided to do was to learn more about cooking, because food has always been a passion of mine. From my native Vietnam to my home country Norway, my life journey has taken me to many beautiful countries such as Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Australia, Malaysia, where I truly got exposed to the food culture, which may reflect in my home-cooked dishes. With this site, I hope to inspire and encourage you to take a break (short, long, or very long - you decide) and do what you love doing but that you haven't set a date for. Just do it, make it happen :) Kort oppsummert: Norsk-Vietnameser i Paris pa jakt etter mening med livet...

Regional Cuisine - Brittany

Located in the very north west of France, Brittany has more than 1000 km of coastline. Not surprisingly, its cuisine is hence based mainly on fresh and high quality seafood. 

We cooked and enjoyed tasting the following dishes:
  • Sardine tarts with eggplant and tomato sauce
  • Langoustine carpaccio with avruga (herring roe)
  • Seabass and Kig Ha Farz (a buckwheat pudding with meat boiled and then fried until bread crumbly - a Brittany speciality)
  • Blue bobster ragout (stew) with spring vegetables
  • Layered crepes in orange and egg custard sauce with salted butter ice-cream
Thank you, Brittany! It was a delicious tasting menu :) 

Pick of Flavours: Sardine tarts - super tasty
