About


While waiting for a TGV for one of my frequent trips to Paris, I was browsing Elle (the French issue, a bit different from the US or UK version: it's weekly published and at the end there's always 4 cooking record cards). One of those fashionable recipes grabs my attention: orange juice sauce on top of grilled eggplants.Even if the mixed of flavor grilled eggplants and orange juice sauce doesn't appeal me, the sauce intrigues me by it composition and easiness. So I reached in my purse for my moleskin and scribbled the sauce recipe. Then days later some gorgeous prawns were flirting with me from the fishmonger 's stall at Thionville (France) farmers market. That's when the orange juice sauce arises in my mind.
"Be proud, prawns you will be served with orange juice !" I shouted (silently, I didn't want to end up in a psychiatric hospital!).
That's how I came up with this: orange juice glazed prawns recipe.
