Salade mixte avec chèvre chaud

Yep, still here! 🙂 I haven’t blogged for 1 moth and half, doomed working too much on a new job… And I realized 3 thing: – Working too much is not worth it – I missed my blog, desperately! – Life is too short and I would love to spend most of our time having

Spaghetti con pomodorini e bottarga

Bottarga! I just love bottarga! I’m lucky enough to have a friend who’s half Sardinian and everytime she visits her relatives in Alghero she always bring me back bottarga!

Carrots and cumin soup

Carrots are good… Carrots are nice… Carrots are orange…And when outside everything is grey, orange CAN save you! Orange can make you happy!

Daring Bakers: Real Honest Jewish Purist’s Bagels

Wow! Always challenging our daring bakers contests!!! I made bagels just once in my life, few month ago, and I was ready to try a new recipe and give it another chance to improve!And this recipe, even if in mammoth proportions, is wonderful!

Salted twists

Lately I’m more on simple, quick and not so complicated stuff then anything else… It’s hot here in Italy, and the hotter it is, the sleepier I am…So, simple, quick, even for friends coming over to dinner!This twists are wonderful with a sparkle of fleur de sel or some parmigiano or other grated cheese or
