Fish of the Day: Salmon and Baby Artichokes Skewers

I m a big fan of grilled skewers because they are healthy, easy to make and pretty to serve. Today, i put together two fantastic sources of nutrients: Artichoke brings anti-oxidants and fibres, is great for the liver, the digestion, brings the bad cholesterol down and is also a hangover cure. Salmon will deliver its proteins and Omega-3. This recipe is tasty and guilt-free.

                                  

Vegetable of the Day: Pumpkin and Onions Gratin

October being the beginning of the pumpkin season, it is time to put some orange colour in your plate. This gratin is a very tasty and much lighter alternative to the Potatoes Dauphinoise. Pumpkin is goodness for your body: It contains vitamin A and antioxidant carotenoids, vitamins C, K, and E, and lots of minerals, including magnesium, potassium, and iron.

                                  

Tip of the Day: Cooking Times for Fish

Knowing the actual cooking time when you prepare fish is very important. Fish loses its taste and moisture if you overcook it. It becomes very hard and dry. What should have been a delicious dish can be a total mistake if you are not careful. Remember: an undercooked fish can be heated for additional time if needed, but you will not be able to save your overcooked dish. 
You can start experiencing with easy species: salmon or cod can be poached, grilled, baked or steamed!

                                  

Meat of the Day: Pineapple and Chicken Skewers

They are very easy to prepare, super tasty and healthy. They will remind you of the summer you are for sure already missing.Very good source of lean proteins, the chicken is ideal when you want to keep your calories intake low. Pineapple will give you the fibres you need and accelerate the fat burning process. You can try this recipe with lamb, although it will be a higher-calorie version!

                                  

Starter of the Day: Seafood and Avocado Verrines

Perfect presentation to impress your guests. You can choose to make it very light by serving this dish in small glasses or if you want a more consistent starter, use wine glasses, increase the proportions of ingredients and follow up with a lighter main course as avocado and taramasalata can be very filling.

                                  

Salad of the Day: Beetroot Salad with Oranges and Cinnamon

The combination of sweet beetroot, zesty oranges and warm cinnamon is very unusual but delicious. This dish can be served as a healthy light lunch or as a starter for dinner. It will bring you anti-oxidants and Vitamin C, perfect to fight the change of weather.

                                  

Starter of the Day: the 4C's soup: Crab, Coconut, Chili and Coriander

With the days getting shorter and colder, this Thai inspired soup recipe will bring a bit of Far-East comfort in your plate. Although fresh crab meat has a better flavour, you can use canned crab to keep the cost down.
