Autumn was late in arriving this year. But it's finally here, there's no denying it. Some days are warmer than usual for this time of year, but the short days and the constant feeling of being cold bring us back to reality: it's autumn.
For months, the energy crisis has been a constant topic of discussion in the media. Given the global energy crisis, we must use resources more sparingly. This means, among other things, turning on the heating in our homes as late as possible.
To avoid freezing despite all the energy-saving measures, many people have discovered their own little tricks. Me too, of course. For me, it's all about hot tea or other drinks, hot, savory soups and stews. Like this Platains Malaxés, one of my favorites. Prepared with delicious pieces of beef, comforting spices and herbs… The aroma alone, which fills the room while it's cooking, gives you an indescribable feeling of warmth and comfort that no heating system can replace. For me, that's soul food, and simply indispensable during the cold season.
