Menu of the week: recipe ideas from Monday 14 to Sunday 20 November
This week, we offer you a perfect balance between comforting preparations and refined dishes. To start off on the right foot, the first few days will be devoted to heart-warming classics, such as soups, quiches, savory pies or meatballs. It is only from Friday, to end in all beauty, that we embark on the realization of more original recipes certainly, but not more complicated. Lacquered salmon, duck breast, beef stew or endives with ham: wouldn’t this be a coded message to announce the beginnings of the festive season which is fast approaching?
At each meal, pleasure and gluttony are not left out, quite the contrary, since this week, the desserts are all as delicious as each other. Autumn tiramisu, cinnamon Jesuits, warm cake, and chocolate cream are on the menu.
Tuesday, November 15, it’s around recipes inspired by Anglo-Saxon culture that we meet, a fun way to congratulate ourselves on having accomplished this first half of the month. Between cookies, butternut macaroni and boiled eggs with bacon: any excuse is good to treat yourself!

At the butcher, we ask for duck breast, beef loin, minced pork loin, bacon and white ham. On the seafood side, we stock up on smoked and pavé salmon.
If necessary, we stock up on eggs, sugar, flour, butter, fresh cream and puff pastry. The same goes for herbs and spices such as cinnamon, dill, thyme or bay leaf, which will enhance each of our preparations.
In the dairy products section, we plan to buy milk, Greek yogurt, fromage blanc, gorgonzola and grated emmental cheese. Finally, on the grocery side, we stock up on lentils (green and coral), but also mung beans for the Monday daal, generally available in the produce section of the world. To make the desserts, you will also need chestnut cream, oatmeal, nuts and seeds, in addition to the classic dark chocolate bar, which will be used for the chocolate cream.
