Chez Loulou

Tonight it was vegan enchiladas ❤💚❤ Vegan, are you sure it's vegan ? Isn't that cheese on top of it ? yeah well it's vegan homemade cheese, and you have to taste it before you say it can't be good, because it was. Should have been more pictures of it, from inside, on a plate, with the guacamole on the side etc... but there was no time for that because this was shared with many wonderful people and the food was just a part of a fantastic evening. Making food is the best way I know to share love with people, to connect people together and open amazing discussions... and when the magic happens, you have to enjoy it, not take pictures 😉 My motto "Love is my first ingredient" Making food with this idea in mind is the best way to do it. Share the love, be happy and... enjoy !

Our dinner tonight ❤ A wonderful risotto with mushroom and a creamy sauce made with white wine. Some parmesan on top and that was heaven on earth... If you want to cook a perfect risotto, follow this  video from Tasty , you won't be disappointed. We were not ! For the dessert I decided to make puff puff. I used to eat a lot of it before because my friend Hefner from Nigeria made them every Sunday and brought them to church, nam, such a delicious memory. Hefner has now moved and no more puff puff on Sundays 😞 But now I found this recipe online  Nigerian puff puff recipe and I made it and that was sooooooooooooooooo good, oh my... so so so good ❤ Just like I remembered it. And this is a naturally vegan dessert, so why deprive oneself ?? It's not an healthy dessert but it's homemade, cheap and vegan, meaning good for environment 💚 very good reason to eat a lot of it with no guilt ! Enjoy !

Everybody loves sushi right ? Why not trying some vegan ones ? It's as delicious, it's safer to eat ( raw fish can easily be a risk if not prepared the right way or not kept at the right temperature etc.. ), easier to keep. Kids love to have some in their lunchbox for school. The ones I made tonight were with some false shrimps ( can buy at  Greenpeas ), fried tofu, tomatoes, cucumber, vegan chili mayonnaise and that was... amazing ! I just regretted I didn't have mature avocados at home to make some sushi with 😭  But yeah the dinner was amazing and what was the most amazing thing was to be able to share it with new friends. Food you eat alone is good, food you eat in good company is 10 times more delicious. Making nice food is an amazing way to spread love around 💓 So if you can, make some good food and invite people over, you will feel fantastic ! If you don't cook, consider to come at my place some day and enjoy a dinner with us 😘  The door i

I work as a substitute. I doesn't happen a lot but sometimes there is no place where I'm needed and I get a free day. Coming as a nice surprise in the middle of a busy life. I had to run some errands today. I went to the grocery and then decided to treat myself with some homemade paninis for breakfast. Simple but always a hit, pesto, tomatoes and mozzarella ❤ Pure happiness that I wanted to share with you ❤ Have a wonderful day !

Dinner tonight inspired by a recipe in the book  15 mn vegan from Katy Beskow ( merci Auré pour le cadeau 😉) A very nice recipe with a lot of spices, beautiful flavors. I did change the recipe a lot though. I cooked it much longer. Katy Beskow was just cooking everything in a pan for 15mn but for me that does not deserve the word "tajine" if you make it that way. The tajine is a North African traditional cookware in ceramic or clay that you put in the oven. I don't have a real tajine but I have a very nice  Baeckoeffe backing dish that I used for this occasion.  I cooked everything in the backing dish in oven for 45 mn, time for all the flavors to really impregnate the veggies. I also wanted the veggies to be cooked enough to be melting in your mouth. No al dente veggies in tajine, that felt wrong ! I added some veggies. The recipe in itself was with sweet potatoes, chickpeas and green beans, I added potatoes and carrots. I wanted something that
