Fusion Cuisine - Arroz con Guandú et Chicken stir-fry



Arroz con Guandú is a traditional dish in Panama.I made this dish for the first time just like the Panamanian do.I do want to make it again but jazz it up a little bit, I am sure you can give it some more life, but even the traditional version was very tasty.
I was also in the mood to stir-fry.I love stir-frying anything, playing with the wok is a lot of fun and all those colours really give me a wonderful feeling. I made some chicken seasoned with salt and black pepper, a pinch of hoisin sauce, some veggies,and roasted sesame seed oil to stir-fry.

It was delicious!!!

Steak au Poivre Avec Salade Niçoise - C'est parfait!



I guess somedays I just feel like going French all the way.The grestest thing about French food is that it's easy to make, you use ingredients that you don't have to go searching high and low, they're so common.J'aime bien la cuisine Française!
To kick off my dinner I made this wonderful Salad from Nice.Salade Niçoise is always a thrill, you can build it up any way you want.Love it!








As a main course I decided to make my version of Steak au Poivre.I decided to change the sauce, I made some wonderful French Béarnaise Sauce and used it on top of my steak.It was to die for!

Shrimp Canapes



Sometimes you just feel like indulging yourself to some wonderful shrimp canapes.And that was just what I needed to pamper myself and feel good about life again.

Kao Phad - Thai Fried Rice



I love Thailand and its wonderful, colourful and tasty dishes.
The coolest thing about this dish is that you can use your own veggies and make it according to your taste, lots of versions of it!

Moqueca Brasileira - Brazilian Bouillabaisse



This is a wonderful fish dish very common in Brazil.You can use all sorts of fish and shellfish to make it.Also, we use this Brazilian oil called Azeite de Dendê.You won't find it any place else, but in Brazil.It's got a unique flavour, colour, fragancy and texture to it.It's quite important to make it by using a clay pan and wood stove.
I could have it everyday and wouldn't get bored!

Caçarola - traditional Brazilian dessert dish



Caçarola is a wonderful and easy-to-make Brazilian dessert.All you need is some flour, sugar, eggs, milk and some Parmigiano-Reggiano.I decided to jazz it up by making a warm cherry sauce to top it with.
It was so delicious!
