28 / 11. Tuesday.

Sometimes, my husband and I enjoy having brunch during the week at home instead of a typical Menu del Día as we live in The Madrid Capital.
Eggs Benedict is quite versatile and can be prepared with either Smoked Salmon or Bacon or Ham. Eggs Florentine is quite a healthy alternative and French toast is always quite endearing.

Petra,

The chicken kiev is a fantastic recipe.

I had done culinary courses over the years at Le Cordon Bleu and some of the fotos are mine and some are my course books which contain numerous photos I took many years ago.

I used the recipe of the Strawberries when my 2 daughters were visiting with my grandchildren. I made them. The photo is not mine.

I shall no longer be posting any photographs until I get my new mobile next month. I dropped my mobile on hard surface and cracked the entire screen and it does not function. I am using my desk and laptop.

Off for tapas ..

For the 3 grandchildren on the morning of the 25th of Christmas .. And served with a hot chocolate.

Fresh strawberries, whipped cream, chocolate chips & French Macarons (from the Bakery) ..

I think you should be aware that this Dental website is using your pictures. Or are you using theirs.

Today, home made Chicken Kiev served with a lovely Prosecco.

Oven 200 degrees Centig.

Grease a sheet, and oven bake approx 6 minutes per side.

That’s amazing. The photo you put up is exactly the same as the one on the Cordon Bleu website.

Frenchgalinspain said she is unable to take photos at the moment, petra, so presumably posts stock images from the recipes she has made.

I must say when I tried to make Chicken Kiev it looked like an unfortunate explosion and the filling ended up outside rather than in the Kiev.
So no photos from me 😁

This what I got when I googled.
Maybe some of the OP’s post was a bit lost in translation.
Perhaps he/she might return to clarify?

This is what Georgesgran means, I think
Hope it helps:

I studied many years ago at Le Cordon Bleu in France.

I use their recipes all the time.

I am on desk top as my mobile dropped and it is not ready yet due to the holidays.

I cannot take photos with my 35mm.

Shall be purchasing a new mobile - I am in the process of pricing and deciding best route.

Frenchgalinspain Sun 14-Jan-24 17:29:40

German Shepherd Mom,

The original recipe which I follow is from a culinary course at Le Cordon Bleu.

The ingredients are very similar to my maternal grandmother and mother´s quiche:

THE PASTRY IS:

200 Grams of flour
1 tsp. of salt
100 grams of French butter - room temperature
1 extra large egg lightly beaten

THE FILLING:

2 tablsps of Extra virgin olive oil 100 % Hojiblanca from Tarragona

100 ml. white wine
50 grams of French butter
250 grams of Spinach well drained (can use frozen)
a sprinkle of nutmeg shaved
200 ml. of cream
200 grams of young roquefort or other young blue cheese
100 grams of shallot or leek or spring onion
4 eggs lightly beaten

These are the ingredients.

Did you shallow fry or deep fry your Chicken Kiev, Frenchgalinspain?
