Trying something new is sometimes a good idea

Lately, I've been getting the feeling that we were always eating the same, more or less, at home. Not that it was getting boring but I felt the need to experiment new recipes.
This week-end I took the opportunity of having my sister and Yann around to try 2 new recipes. I confess, it's easier to test on relatives than on friends, as if it is a disaster they will openly tell you :)
Recipe #1: Sliced beef with green pepper
Recipe #2: Farfalle with smoked Pancetta
Both of them were a success based on the reaction of the people.
Both of them were pretty spicy which was highly appreciated by this audience.
#1 works very well without coriander. We cooked with and without as someone doesn't like coriander and both versions were excellent. Different but excellent.
Both of them will now be added to our pool of recipes, broadening our selection.

NB: a BIG thank you to Joy and Yann who helped preparing the ingredients and cooking in the wok. It would have never tasted so good if it wasn't for the perfectly cut onions and the timely stirring.
