Out of fashion food?
The other day I was reading comments on one of my favourite blog (she doesn’t need publicity, but here it is!) and someone wrote: “stop with avocados, they are so seventies” (in the meaning of obsolete). Well, I found that comment quite strange.Let me explain myself. On which basis can you label a certain food
The wind that shakes the barley
This is not at all an Irish recipe, as the title would suggest, but a very Italian one! Cooking other ingredients like you will do for risotto is quite common, even for pasta.

At the beginning of this month, Adam The Amateur Gourmet launched a challenge: why don’t you spend an hour on You Tube and try to find 10 wonderful food related video?Well, he found awesome stuff! And while watching everything I thought, why don’t I give it a try?So, here they are: on a grey end
Panna cotta
Panna cotta is an Italian classic, so simple, straight and quick that it’s worth it making it!It’s even one of my favourite dessert and as it is so difficult to find it well made in restaurants, I always prefer making it myself, at home.It’s normally accompanied with red berries or chocolate, but this time I’ve
