Red Velvet.

Source: Numero Tokyo December 2010

There is something very Christmassy about red velvet and it makes me think of the delicious 'Red Velvet Cupcakes' from the wonderful Hummingbird Bakery, London...

Le velours rouge évoque, pour moi, Noel. Il me fait penser aux cupcakes 'Red Velvet' du magnifique Hummingbird Bakery, Londres.

Coconut chai latte, 1 mug

1 large mug oat or soy milk
1 portion/bag of black tea (I used PG Tips, but any black tea is fine)
3 whole cloves
1 cinnamon stick
3 pods of cardamom
a few pinches of dried ground ginger
1 tsp good quality coconut oil
ca 1 tsp maple syrup (optional)
Pour milk in a mug to measure and then transfer all of it but about 1 dl to a pot (if you have a milk frother, otherwise transfer all of it). Add the tea bag and the spices, and heat until almost boiling. Lower temperature and let simmer for a few minutes, then turn off the heat and let it stand for a few minutes more.

Meanwhile, if you have a milk frother, froth the 1 dl of cold milk (if not you can skip this step). Put it to one side.

Strain the tea and pour into a mug. Add the coconut oil and the maple syrup (if using). Stir, and as the final step add the cold milk.

Bleu de Chanel.

I've decided to try something on my blog, it's to write things in English and French...see how it goes.

J'ai décidé de faire un petit changement a mon blog, d'écrire en anglais et en français...on verra comment ça se passe...

I love this new ad for Chanel and think Gaspard Ulliel is a great choice of actor. I love the femme fatale feel of it and I think the blue wash is very effective in evoking the idea of Bleu de Chanel.

J'adore cette nouvelle pub de Chanel et je pense que Gaspard Ulliel était un très bon choix comme acteur. J'adore l'air femme fatale et le bleu fonctionne très bien pour évoquer le Bleu de Chanel.
