It’s not as difficult as it seems. Making meringues is really easy, provided you look out for the temperature of the oven. And the sorbet doesn’t require the an ice-cream machine! And it’s very refreshing, so really a perfect, summer dessert!

It a simple amuse-bouche on a skewer, again with the baked peppers which I like so much. As neithet  of the ingredients has a significant taste, make sure to spice them up well before serving. Serve with a glass of cold white wine.

First of all it’s not a meal you can plan in advance. Well, you can never be sure to be able to cook it. It should start by a visit to fish-monger’s when you see this wonderful, fresh piece of fish and you just fall in love with it. Once you have this piece of

I got these 2 beautiful, home-garden grown zucchinis from Jij. Getting home-garden-grown vegetables and fruit is I think the best present for me. I always find it amazing what wonderful stuff grows in home gardens. I have this dream of having a real garden myself one day. I would have to move to a more

This is not as hard as it looks. It’s true that I make it rather for special occasions, but really last time I prepared it during my children’s computer class, and I was on time to pick them up on time. So that means barely more than an hour. Just make sure to read the

I know what you are thinking. The picture is nice, but the juice, it just cannot be good. If you are not from Central or Eastern Europe (where we eat a lot of beetroot) and you opened this post, it means you are very brave! Or curious. Or both! The beetroot juice is supposed to

Joanna invited me for a girls’ evening. She is my most dedicated reader (she claims it’s her son mainly, but I think she likes it herself just as much), and so she prepared a really fancy dinner. An aubergine tart (did I not mention recently that I just love aubergines?), a bottle of chilled Franciacorta,
