About Me / Contact
Hello! My name is Marie. I’m a graphic designer, writer, translator and I’m very passionate about food. So much so that this is my second food blog. Yes! I started Food Nouveau in early 2010 as a place to write about my travels, the inspiring people I meet, the amazing food I taste, and my experiments to bring these international flavors into my home kitchen.
Being freelance and working from home, most days of the week (including weekends), I cook two meals from scratch: lunch and dinner. Cooking is not a chore for me, it’s a passion and a way to relax – and meal time is great to experiment future material for my blog.
I love to try new recipes: I own dozens of cookbooks filled with hundreds of post-its marking the recipes I want to make. I also have a box filled with magazine cut-outs for more recipe inspiration. Recently I found myself wanting to share the great recipes I stumble upon (or my own successful creations), most of which are not “Food Nouveau material”, just good, honest, everyday recipes. So I opened FN | Just Recipes.
FN | Just Recipes is, you guessed it, a recipe site. Simple photography, fantastic dishes, some inspired by talented chefs, others created by me. With this site, I hope to improve my recipe creation talents but in the meantime, so many other amazing chefs are treating me with delicious meals everyday; I couldn’t help but share my best finds with you.
This site will not be fed by some other sites’ RSS content, just my own. New recipes will be published 3 times/week (Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays) so you should find lots of inspiration around here, very quickly. All recipes are posted with imperial and metric measurements, as well as a link to download the recipe as a PDF file. You’ll be able to easily print the dishes you like, add them to your personnal recipe binder, or share it with friends.
Happy cooking and bon appétit!

About Photography: All pictures featured on this site have been taken by myself. Except the aboe picture of myself, which was taken by E 
About Recipes: I make a point of always mentioning where each recipe comes from. Here’s a definition of the terms I use in the credits:
Name of book, blog or author — Means that the recipe is transcripted pretty much as is, except from additional tips and explanations I add here and there.
Adapted from… – Means that I changed some ingredients in the recipe and reworded a part of the instructions.
Inspired by… — Means that I started with a recipe but changed so many things that the dish has been transformed significantly. I probably reworded most of the instructions as well.
Marie Asselin — Means that I created the recipe. I love cookbooks and I have a hard time becoming independant in the kitchen but I try!
