So… this post is the result of watching several episodes in the same day of the Great British Baking Challenge. I literally love that show! It is my favourite cooking show, I like the concept, I like the presenters, I like the people and of course I find the dishes a great source of inspiration.…
Valentine’s day is here once again! I am sure each and every one of us has a different Valentine tradition, and a different Valentine story to share… For me, I spent many Valentines with my hubbie, even if with years, and experiences, we realised good company is what one really need during Valentine’s Day… and…
Isn’t it weird how sometimes you are doing random stuff and a memory come back to you like a punch? I know it’s a bit strong, but I can’t find any other word to describe the feeling… The other day I was listening to some Italian music, for no particular reason at all, and then in…
Happy Chinese New Year! I had the most amazing dinner last night with my friends, and we decided to celebrate with a very nice dinner all together! Picture the scene: three Italians, one Malaysian, one Chinese, one Portuguese, one Argentinian, one Salvadoran plus a wonderful teenage girl and 3 kids of different ages… it was…
I am like all the others. I buy bananas because I believe I will make amazing and healthy smoothies to bring with me at work every morning, so I can feel modern and save money because I prepare everything at home. Then, when you wake up at 5.45am, and you still have to blend everything…

Half appetiser, half main dish, half “cicchetto“, bruschetta is a dish you can easily prepare with very few basic ingredients that you have at home. The success of a good bruschetta is of course the quality of the bread you use. I would recommend a good sourdough or homemade bread like the one I made here for…
You know those days? There are days when the sun is shining, you have all the time in world and you planned very nice activities, or just to relax on the couch. And then, there are those other days. Those days when it is pouring rain, when you wake up at 4am because your cat…
I know holidays are over and we should all be on a diet and eat healthy food, possibly sugar free, but technically in Italy today concludes the celebrations, so I guess I am still on time for some treats… If you think I jump around seasons and times according to what I need, well guys, you…
I LOVE holidays (and the Cliche’ Queen is back), mainly because, well, I’d love to say because I have some much time to do the things I normally don’t do, but the truth is because I can sleep and eat as much as I want. Things which technically I normally can’t do but… well let’s…
