Maroc au féminin
Ce n’est pas pour rien si durant notre stage au Maroc nous avons rencontré autant de femmes : les Marocaines sont de grandes travailleuses! Depuis toujours, elles s’élevaient les enfants et s’occupaient des tâches à la maison. Ces dernières années, elles ont été nombreuses à ajouter, à ces tâches, un travail à l’extérieur de la […]
Gastronomic panorama of Morocco (2nd part)
Here we continue our gastronomic tour of Morocco…. 6. Camel Burger OK, I’ll admit that our menu at Café Clock, Camel Burger and cheesecake, was probably not typically Moroccan! Still, it was absolutely delicious and it would have been a shame to miss the opportunity to taste camel meat!
Gastronomic panorama of Morocco (1st part)
Those of you who’ve visited (or are planning to visit) Morocco probably did so for the architecture, the beaches, the desert or even the absolutely amazing landscapes there. In fact, few of us consider Morocco to be a destination for gastronomic tourism. However, Moroccan cuisine, a rich fusion of Berber, Arabic and Andalusian cuisines, is […]
Have a Happy and “Heart-Healthy” Valentine’s Day!
February is not only the month in which Valentine’s Day falls, but also the month during which awareness is raised about the heart and cardiovascular diseases that attack so many of us (the cause of one third of all premature deaths in the population).
Save the Food From the Fridge
Jihyun Ryou, a graduate of the Dutch Design Academy Eindhoven, presented her innovative project ‘Save the Food From the Fridge’ as part of some lectures at the University of Gastronomic Sciences.

How to burn 100 calories
Last week we talked about how to “trim” 100 calories or more from our daily diet. In this week’s post, I’d like to propose a few simple ways to burn 100 calories by introducing a bit of exercise into your daily routine. Choose the activity that suits you best or come up with something similar!
Children’s cereals: Too much sugar
An Environmental Working Group (EWG) review of 84 popular cereal brands found that one cup of any of 44 popular children’s cereals has more sugar than three Chips Ahoy cookies (11 grams or about 3 teaspoons). This review, which assessed cereals manufactured by Kellogg’s, Post, General Mills and Quaker, found that only one in four […]

Packed like sardines
Canned food and gastronomy rarely go hand in hand, yet in Pinhais & CA., LDA , canned fish are, even today, traditionally prepared with the greatest attention to quality. Legend has it that even their preserves are the best in the world 😉
Fans of port wine
I’m mad about port wine… like many Canadians apparently! During our visit to the Istituto dos Vinhos do Douro e Porto (IVDP), I was surprised to learn that Canada, in spite of its small population, is the 10th largest importer* of port wine in the world… and the Quebec Province alone represents 85% of Canadian […]
Éloïse’s culinary trip to Portugal
Wow! I’ve just returned from attending an amazing 10-day course in Portugal where we went to study Port wine (what else!) and the gastronomy of the city of Porto and the Douro valley.
