Working in a professional Test Kitchen definitely comes with numerous perks: for starters, you get to work with food most of the day (than in itself makes it a dream job in my book!), you have a play...
When I have friends over for brunch - or most meals for that matter - I like to keep it simple. No fuss, no looking up new recipes, no over-thinking it. I choose a couple dishes Im very comfortable m...

Each month, I usually run a giveaway here with a cookbook I think my readers will enjoy. This month, I have a copy of Norwegian Cakes and Cookies - a pretty cookbook that I hope will inspire yo...
I love brightening my kitchen with a little pop of colour. It makes the space inviting and cosy and makes me want to cook that much more. Somehow, yellow items always seem to make it to the top of my...

I didnt grow up celebrating Valentines day. Should I even attempt the stereotypical sentence that Paris is romantic every day of the year and that we dont need a special day to celebrate love? I woul...
2011 marks the year I got my very first iPhone. Before that, I was getting by with a fridge of a phone and, to tell you the truth, I was quite happy about it. I liked how little I was dependent on th...

It seems that a few days ago I looked at my calendar and September was just ending. How is it almost December? The one thing I systematically look forward to at this time of year is waiting for the f...
The holidays are always an ideal time to start working on a few DIY projects. Its usually a great way to save some money but, for me, its more importantly the perfect excuse to put some time aside to...
Oddly enough, the term comfort food is not something I ever grew up hearing in France. I think its because so much of the food really is, inherently, comfort food that it would make for quite a redun...
As readers of this site know, I ve been working for Style at Home for the past few months. The holidays are one of the busiest times of the year for our food and home decor content, and I will be sha...
