Aside from shrimps and chickens, one of the best foods in the world (at least for me) is crabs. And isn’t it a wonder when I found out that French Remoulade is actually the country’s answer for the American coleslaw? This one though has crabs in them.

This recipe comes from French Revolution Food.

Ingredients:
(serves 2 to 4)

Juice of 1 lemon

1/4 cup mayonnaise

2 teaspoons Dijon mustard

1 teaspoon whole grain mustard

1 tablespoon chervil, chopped

4 cups grated celeriac (about 1/2 large celeriac; a food processor works wonders here)

1 Granny Smith apple, grated

8 ounces jumbo lump crab meat

I love white-sauced pastas, but I usually get overpowered by the cream in most pastas that I stay away from them as much as possible. This recipe though is different. It has the richness of the cream but it also has a slight tang to it that adds even more to its flavor and texture.

This recipe is adapted from A Twist of the Wrist.

Ingredients:
(serves 4)

1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more for salting the pasta water

8 ounces orecchiette pasta

3 tablespoons olive oil

6 cloves garlic, minced or grated

1 cup frozen petite peas, or fresh if in season

1 cup crème fraîche

6 slices prosciutto (3 ounces total), torn in half

12 small basil leaves,…

I grew up waking to the smell of blueberry muffins from my grandfather’s old oven. At times, when I am lucky enough, I sometimes wake up with him still kneading the dough and putting all those little blueberries in between the dough. But then when he died, I actually forgot how much I love doing little things for him while he bakes. This recipe becomes a throwback for me from those days when I still love cooking.

This recipe, which only takes 30 minutes of your time, comes from Cooking Light.

Ingredients: (makes 16 muffins)

2 cups flour, plus 1/2 tablespoon, divided

If I wanted to try out something new, I would usually first use chicken breasts since you can never go wrong with chicken meat with their tender and juicy flesh. I wanted to try out this marinade and sauce with pork, but opted instead to make it with chicken. It then resulted to one of the most flavorful dishes I have made in the past (not to mention the aroma will get you salivating).
