Cooking French!

Hello fellow mermaids!

I decided to do a collaboration with May from A Girl Like You and since I am Austrian and she is French we thought doing something that involves our Cultures would be fun for us to do and interesting to read! We both like cooking therefore we invented a three-course-dinner for each other with typical recipes for our countries we have to cook! 

As a starter May told me to do Avocat Mayonnaise. As you can see above this is not what I did because neither me nor my boyfriend like Mayonnaise so I toasted some whole grain bread slices in the oven for about 3 minutes on low heat and put on some mashed avocado spread. For decoration I put on some pepper, a slice of cucumber and some basil. The pumpkin seed oil beneath the bread slices is typically Austrian and adds a little to the sophisticated look.

The Main Menu was a French Vegetable and Veal Ragout served with rice. I really liked the taste of it, I however skipped the last step of adding cream and egg yolk since I'm not comfortable with eating raw eggs due to the Salmonella dangers. 

The dessert was probably my favourite part. May instructed me to bake a cake called Far Breton. It was really extraordinary to bake such a liquid batter but in the end it worked out. I served it with purred frozen strawberries, chocolate sauce, banana slices and edible flowers. It was really fluffy and I'm glad that I added the fruity touch!

Hope you enjoyed reading! Go over to May's blog once you finished mine, I'm really excited to read it too! If you're a blogger too and want to collaborate with me, please contact me either via twitter @Julia_Walker Ofc or via mail: tptmermaid@yahoo.com
