I love aubergine dip. My mother used to make it with mayo and onions. I made it with olive oil and garlic. This time I wanted to try a Turkish recipe of Smoked aubergines with yogurt. It’s different from the dip I usually made, but I think it’s more suitable as a side dish for

Mousse Au Chocolat
Mousse Au Chocolat was the dessert for my French Taste the World adventure. After onion soup and ratatouille, this dessert couldn’t be more appropriate.
