i’ve been thinking about when to reveal this news… well, i never found the right moment. but it’s sort of coming closer and closer, the big moment, and kind of inevitable in the process to share it here with you. though i suspect many of my ‘readers’ to just ‘look’ at the pictures (as i, admittedly,Continue reading
since i’m not a big coffee drinker (i.e. hate it), but still embrace a good hot “cuppa something”, alternatives are always welcocme (as my three year old nephew appears to be saying now). meaning it’s either down to hot chocolate or tea. a good chai tea (or chai latte, in it’s creamier version) is veryContinue reading
somre more squash before the squash season comes to it’s big finale… this dish was particularly delicious! the yogurt with hints of zesty ginger and rose buds made it really exotic. acorn squash with ginger rose yogurt ingredients: 1 slice acorn squash, skin on 1/2 cup yogurt 1 cm piece ginger, grated 1 tsp.Continue reading
i’ll never get enough of the beauty of artichokes… they’re so majestic! ooh, and the taste… i’ve sung many an ode to artichokes on this blog here (e.g. here, here, here and here) - and today i’m resisting to post yet another. however, one thing must be said: those stems..! have you seen those stems?Continue reading

my evening rituals (on nights i’m alone at home) are simple: come home, put on the kettle for some tea (i’ve gotten myself a really nice chocolate and orange one from kusmi, it’s divine!), find something to eat, turn on the tv (‘perfect dinner’ is my favorite show of all times), light a candle, and,Continue reading
there are so many things i am thankful for… and with thanksgiving approaching so quickly, it’s a good time to make a note of it. so here are the three things i am currently thankful for: - the good food (like this lavish dinner for myself at london’s nopi) in my life - amazing highlightsContinue reading
sadly, i’ve realised that the squash season seems to be almost already over? how come? i mean, it’s still cold outside. it feels like it’s still squash season. but the retailers and markets around here don’t sell them anymore in all their colorful quirkiness. i’m always sad to see a seasonal veg leave (until nextContinue reading
honestly, what’s the need to cook (all the time) - when you can buy really good things, too? i don’t mean convenience, ready to heat sort of things…. but, like, really good cheese and a really good bread. that’s a perfect dinner, right? i know… it’s sometimes a bit of a no-no among foodies, toContinue reading
