Beyond the foodverse

Japanese pastries & me flexin with my recipe notebook x)

Japanese pâtisserie unboxing. Usagiya Strasbourg, new franco-japanese pastry concept shop, deserves a big heads up for their savoir-faire. The owner worked 10 years in Japan before returning to her home country, Alsace (un brin chauvin oui). Wanted to try everything so I took one of each (a bit pricy tho), their Dorayakis are insanely good, among their other pastries. 

Why Antony Bourdain is still a great inspiration to me. Sit down, be humble. 

pretty self explanatory (let them up to 3 weeks to marinate in cider / red wine vinegar, in closed jars)

BEST WAY TO COOK RICE - EVER -  

One of the best weekends I’ve had lately! Gone to a friend’s house in the alsacian countryside, had a lil’ hike, homemade brioche, homemade apple cake & great cheese, & of course, schnaps and beer!

Pretty good, but very dry!

Eperlans (fried fish we eat as an appetizer)

And the best pisco ! @almastrasbourg

Alsacian traditionnal hot wine in the Christmas season.

Lebanese restaurant. Food was awesome!

Mini kiwis from my parent’s garden. They’re delicious!

(and yes, this is cheese, I’m not french for nothing)

(aka the best)

If you’re into wine, you should try to do the harvesting once. You eat well, you drink a lot, you sure do work hard, and get drenched by the heavy rain we have fall september. But it’s fun, you meet people and the landscape’s gorgeous! (and you get free bottles)

One week of foodie paradise and fast cars. Can’t say more.

Can’t complain. These were the absolute thing. We don’t have any doughnuts shops in France. I miss those so much (not saying they’re the best tho, Dunkin’s are great too)
