Puro coffee and Paola's tiramisu


Last sunday was father's day. I was strongly ordered adviced to cook a “simple” meal. If you change a few letters you'll understand : meat, potatoes, and a dessert with a lot of butter and sugar ! Well, all right. And I'll eat something “special” tomorrow mouahahah …

So I baked Jamie style's potatoes (best of the world, no kidding), very classic semi-cooked chocolate cakes, and Paola's tiramisu. Paola is italian and does tiramisu better than no one. Her recipe is incredibly simple and produces a tiramisu whose lifetime is close to minutes. Is to say it's no so bad …




And for a tiramisu, you'll need very strong coffee. I'm the proud owner of a Jura coffee machine which does -almost- everything : grind, clean itself, squeal, ask for water, and incidentally produce a cup of coffee. The quality of this cup largely depends of the coffee beans used (and the water !). I have a friend who brings back tons of coffee from her italian vacations …

Anyway, I recently had the opportunity to taste three blends of Puro fair coffee, including an organic. I have to say that I was both convinced by the coffee and the initiatives around it. The coffee is very very good, mild with no bitterness at the end of the cup. I like having a fair option for this kind of products. You can visit Puro's nice website to discover their contribution for saving the rainforest, watch short videos of producers or even find that you can give a second life to your coffee !

Strawberry liar cheesecake


I keep on having fun with cheesecake without cheese and without cake ... and incidentally without sugar !

I wanted to pick up my stawberries in a field close to my place. Because the way I like strawberries the most is just … nature ! So they have to be per-fect ! But those we had last thursday were disappointing and insipid, we need more sun people !!! So I decided to buy some this morning to a thief greengrocer and here are two versions of the strawberry liar cheesecake !


Lemon option
Vanilla option
