Creamy mushroom chicken with rosemary sweet potatoes

The sun-dried tomatoes add quick colour and savoury sweetness to the creamy thyme and mushroom sauce. I was delighted to discover adding cottage cheese gives you the delicious creamy consistency of full fat double-creme de Gruyère (or other heavy cream).

Cuvée Romaine — full of vivacity and persistence!

It was my mother-in-law’s birthday last week. I know she wouldn’t want me to tell you which one, so I’ll just let you guess. I will, however, introduce you to her special wine. In 1999, my father-in-law created a special this wine for her: Cuvée Romaine. It is named for my mother-in-law. Cuvée (blend) and …

3 reasons to play hooky on Friday 07 June…

The day I biked to the top of Mont Cheseaux.

Pause. Refresh. Restart.

When I first moved to Switzerland in 2010, I started a Hidden Dinner Club. It was a heartfelt effort to discover good food, good wine, and good company when I moved to Switzerland in 2010.  I had a few events, but then I got a real job and I just let it dissipate into oblivion. Well– …

Famous, handsome, and I have a cute butt!

Mpants started saying to me as I hug him and put him in bed: “Mum. I love you….and I’m famous, and handsome, and I have a cute butt! “ I know I have mentioned the cute butt thing, but I swear I am not the source of the famous, handsome thing. He seems to have …

Brocco-tree

We had steamed broccoli, cherry tomatoes, and BBQ steak last night for dinner. Mpants grabbed a stem of broccoli from the bowl and stood it up on the side of his plate. “Look Mummy. A brocco-tree!”

Simply wine chez Domaine Piccard

I arrive in my car and try to park without disturbing the car traffic or foot traffic at Domain Piccard. Jean-Christophe Piccard is sitting on his step tying his boot lace. “Vous êtes arrivée au bon endroit?” Are you in the right place? he asks me. I remind him I made an appointment to interview …

I’ll build that

Last night, I read Mpants the infamous “Cat-in-the-Hat” by Dr. Seuss for his bedtime story. We got through the mischevious cat and everything that he can do. We got through Thing One and Thing Two. I told him those two little things reminded me of him and his brother. Running through the house. Total destruction …

Swiss cheese conspiracy

Even if fondue is a Swiss national culture and food dish–it is not on my list of favourites. When I first moved here, a friend had us over for raclette (on a sunny, fall, Sunday afternoon–so it we took our time). It was a 7-hour raclette party. 7-hours! My husband mistakenly took me for fondue …
