Summertime Calls for a Chicken Salad Recipe
A lovely summer salad that’s really easy to make and is even tastier if you make it the night before. Basil and parsley are the key herbs for the recipe but, living in the South of France, I often add verveine to give it a more lemony taste.

One dessert that we absolutely love is the frozen nougat with its almonds, hazelnuts & pistachio. A great dessert that can even be made in advance (even by several months), if well wrapped. Make it as an individual dessert or as a terrine.
