To kick start my blog, here is a recipe that is simple yet quite delicious...Enjoy!!!

Eiffel Tower

Paris is a beautiful city with some amazing veggie restaurants. I am going to talk about these restaurants in Paris and in many other cities with some advice on where to eat, what dishes to order, etc. This will be in another post in the near future as I develop my blog. I promise it will be soon:).

When I was in Paris, I noticed that most people who were budget travellers or slightly short on cash or simply didn't want to eat at a restaurant would carry around a baguette with cheese and munch on it while they go about their business. 

I was really impressed and inspired by that sight! So I decided to try it...just with a twist:). There are many variations to this simple recipe and I've mentioned a few below. 

Ingredients:

~ French baguette (or any bread with a crust) - enough for 1 sandwich

~ Brie Cheese - generous amount or as much as you'd like

~ Lettuce leaves - couple roughly shredded

~ Apple - 1/2 thinly sliced 

~ Chilli sauce of your choice - couple of teaspoons (optional)

~ Salt/Pepper - to taste (optional)

Method:

~ Slice or tear the baguette in the center or side making sure that one side is intact.

~ Stuff the baguette with lettuce, cheese and apple.

~ Drizzle the chilli sauce and season it with salt and pepper

Paris baguette with a twist is is ready to dig in! The good thing about this recipe is that, it doesn't require any cooking, all the ingredients are easily available at any supermarket in the world and is very economical to make! 

You can make variations of your choice to this recipe and still get a wonderful meal.

Variations:

~ Instead of the Apple, use Grapes or fresh Figs

~ Instead of Brie cheese, use Cheddar or Feta

~ Instead of the Chilli sauce, use a Chutney of your choice (Mango and Kiwi are my favourite)

I am all about convenience in everything I do. In cooking, I find it very hard to follow a recipe as I'm sure is the case for many of you out there. I have included few of these variations for people like me:). Do feel free to let me know how you like this recipe. If you have a better variation, please share it with me and I promise to try it and provide feedback.
