  • Hi there, my name is Annabel.
    Petit Canard's Kitchen is my recipe journal. It's where I write about the recipes that intersect my life, work, every day life and friends.
    Most of the recipes are from my cookbook collection, sometimes they were given by friend and sometimes I created them myself.
    I am trained in French cooking but have a strong interest for Japanese, Italian, Chinese and other cuisines from the world.
    I will only post recipe with seasonal ingredients at time of posting (in UK)
    Welcome!
