Crème Bourguignonne

I received a surprise Christmas gift from my aunt ten days ago. A gift that I would not have ever expected. It was a little cookbook, but not any cookbook! It is written by the residents and staff of the retirement house where my paternal grandfather lives. They all contributed to it and you can find some lovely recipes in it.
I was only browsing my new little cookbook when I noticed I had an email from my aunt: "check out the dessert section, there is your grandmother's recipe for the crème bourguignonne in it".
Now this is something that brought tears to my eyes.

Tomato Soup with Red Kidney Beans, Chorizo and Parsley Oil Recipe
I want snow! Yes, if it is going to be that cold, I think we deserve a bit of snow. The last time I have known such a cold Winter was five years ago. In between, I was enjoying Australian Winters. I am not saying it is not cold in Melbourne in Winter, you can even go skiing less than two hours from the city. But it just feels much milder there.
At the same time, I did miss crisp cold Winter days. I feel I am served right now!
Five years ago, I would come back from long work hours and visit E. at his house (we had only been dating a few months then). One of the things he would cook a lot at the time was a delicious tomato soup with red kidney beans and chorizo. We would eat it with big slices of crusty bread while warming up near the 'fireplace' (ahem! You should actually read 'tiny radiator', the house was really cold). E. would pour a tin of tomato soup in a saucepan, add the beans and pieces of chorizo and it would be ready within five minutes.

Clementine Yoghurt Cake with Lemon Glaze Recipe
Happy New Year 2013! Bonne année à toutes et tous!
So, here we go, a new recipe for the new year. I could have created some kind of delicious galette des rois as we do eat a lot of them in France every year on 6th January but instead I will let you read about it here, as told by the lovely Ketty from French Foodie In Dublin.
Instead I found myself with multiple bags of clementines. This was part of my new resolution of the year: eat more fruits! I do not actually care so much about new year resolutions. In fact, I think it is more doing something about everyday goals that matters.

So my beloved clementines ended up in a cake. It does mean I am eating fruits, right? Ok, I know I am not fooling anyone here...
