“I am very close to my grandmother... Mamyvonne. She is bright, funny, loving, and optimistic. She was the one who said to me: 'If you expect big things, they don't happen often. But small joys yes, and that's what makes life enjoyable. I have struggled to see the positive but there is no benefit in dwelling on what hurts. That is my advice. That's what life is all about. The little joys of now. Meeting people, maintaining a friendship on a daily basis... Great happiness is once or twice while the little ones are every day. ' At a young age, she played theater in her village. And I became an actress. The recipe I want to share is the chicken liver cake she made every year for Easter. She wrote me the recipe by hand and I keep it treasured. I did it once by myself. Now, I am a vegetarian but it is a recipe that reminds me of my grandmother.” - Marie-Emilie Gâteau de foie for 6 people: 1L of milk, 8 eggs, 7-8 rusks, 450g of denervated and ground chicken livers, salted and ground chicken, salt, pepper, parsley. --- Bring the milk to a boil, add the crumbled crackers while stirring to make a thick panade.
