"Links to (some of) my cooking receipes" by mariev

Food (like music) is - in my opinion - an important part of a culture.(perhaps because i come from a country where it is the case).
Wherever i go, i HAVE TO sample the local food (and , if i can, i try to pick a couple of receipes to bring home, i just LOVE to cook).
After a couple of questions here, i felt the need to share some of them.

I don't pretend to write a cooking book. What i can guaranty, is that all of them have been home tested (and some had to be a bit adapted due to either unavailable ingedients or too complicate (for me) methods - in this case i try to mention : a. the original - b. what i used instead).

They are only "guidelines" : all of them are family type receipes and thus have to be adapted (depending on tastes and available ingredients)

I will add photos if i can (but to do this i have to cook the same plate and it may take some time before - or have it at friends).

Since they will be put in the travel pages, here are the shortcuts to find them, sorted by country.

Plain daily receipes - not specific to any given region

PS : Please, could someone tell me what "French" cooking is ?

I have absolutely no idea what this means (it seems so much to depend from the visitor origins). Myself, i know : alsacian cooking, provencal, perigordan, antilian and so on.... they have not much in common.

The classics
- Galette des rois (Epiphany speciality)
- Creme brulee (dessert)
- Mousse au chocolat (dessert, gluten free).
- Gluten free chocolate cake.

And coming from the sunny Martinique :
- Accras de morue (cod fritters)

My roots, an extraordinary blend of tastes from all over Europe (some consequences of repeated invasions aren't completely negative)
Alsacian receipes
- Flammekueche (maindish)
- Bilberry tart (vegetarian/eggs - dessert)

Khadidja is my best friend's grand-mother. She is an elderly tunisian lady who kindly accepted to share her receipes
Khadidja's tunisian receipes
- Chakchouka (vegetarian/eggs - gluten free - main course)
- Potato bricks (vegetarian/eggs -starter or main course)
- Tuna bricks (starter or main course)
- Brick sheets

Also some receipes from the deep south]
- Radhkha (starter)
- Chorbat frick (soup)

More rice based than pastas

SInce we spent a large part of my chidhood and youth in West Africa (Togo, Benin, Burkina Faso,.... ) thanks to my father professional obligations, and since my mother used to collect local receipes too ....(and those may well be my least outdated infos about those countries)

For instance, Benin has very interesting dishes (especially if you want to refuel your inner dragon).

I have some vegetarian or gluten free receipes too among them.
If they belong to a specific place they will figure at the corresponding location (but with the indication vegan, vegetarian, gluten free, kocher, etc...)

Some "unsorted" receipes can also be found here
