Rosa Jackson's Edible Adventures

Secret sushi
A few weeks ago I would have sworn that there was no good sushi in Nice. It turns out that I just hadn't looked in the right place. 6 comment(s)

Salad days
People often ask me why I'm not enormous. Even if I do have a penchant for cakes, I think what saves me is that my idea of a perfect meal is some variation on this. 5 comment(s)

Strawberry and tomato gaspacho with pistachio oil
Pistachio oil brings an extra touch of originality to strawberry and tomato gaspacho, which I came across at Le Mirazur's new tapas-style bar and couldn't wait to recreate. 5 comment(s)

A strawberry and cream birthday cake
Never answer the phone when you're cooking. This rule can save a lot of heartache, such as the sight of Sam's comically deflated birthday cake a few minutes after I pulled it out of the oven. 5 comment(s)

Les petits farcis
What I love about these little stuffed vegetables, known affectionately as "les farcis" ("the stuffed") in Nice, is how they reflect the personality of each cook. 0 comment(s)

Ravioli with avocado sauce vierge
When I first came across this dish at the Château de la Chèvre d'Or, I thought it was sheer madness. Then I tasted it and decided otherwise. 1 comment(s)

Strawberry tiramisù
I first spotted this summery variation on classic tiramisù at the bakery Bread & Roses in Paris, and had been wanting to recreate their recipe for months. 3 comment(s)

Fava bean gnocchi
I've had some disasters in the past with non-potato gnocchi. Still, the knowledge that gnocchi and fèves are Sam's two favorite foods in the world - after chocolate, of course - gave me the incentive to try my luck. 0 comment(s)
