FullSizeRender-8

I noticed that salad recipes are not among the top viewed recipes on my blog although people always ask me for healthy recipes, yet the “all cream … all cheese” recipes are the most viewed hahaha. But, I will never give up because if you give yourself the chance/time to create a nice bowl of salad, I am sure you will be addicted to salads, just like me.

As much as I love creating new recipes from scratch, I also adore re-visiting classical dishes & playing around with the ingredients to give them a new vibe.

I was never a big fan of Negresco honestly, especially the taste of boiled chicken, which in my point of view, overpowered everything else. But I liked the concept of adding chicken to oven baked pasta so I decided to give traditional Negresco a new twist.  Continue reading “MODERN NEGRESCO WITH VEGGIES”
