I don’t know whether this is how they eat in Mexico, but this is how we imagine it 🙂 It’s a meal that Karl thought me and I usually let him do it, as somehow he is able to cook it at the end of a long day, really in really no time… So it

This marinade works great with chicken wings, but also with other meat, such as chicken legs or pork. The plum jam is sweet and sour at the same time, and the garlic and chilli pepper makes a perfect marinade. For best results, make sure to marinade your meat at least 12 hours, and ideally 36!

This post is for my great friend Marta. She asked me to cook this for her because she has some friends over and she wants to serve something good, but somehow lately nothing she cooks turns out well. I don’t believe it, I think she just doesn’t appreciate the every day cooking she does. But

It’s almost the summer and I am so into veggies, and especially aubergines! Every time I go grocery shopping, they look so pretty and elegant and I just can’t leave without them. And then I invent what to do with them, and if I use enough cheese and spices, they never disappoint me!

It’s only June so I was not yet expecting to find real mushrooms at the grocery store, I would think it will be all about asparagus and young carrots, maybe the figues would arrive soon, but I came across chantrelles and I could not resist. I called chantrelle ‘real’ as opposed to Portobello mushrooms that

The summer holidays are close enough to plan them, but far enough not to even start packing.  Longing for a long hot summer evening, I made this salsa that tastes like summer. Just close your eyes with the first bite and you will feel like you are in South America having a refreshing and light

Even though it’s end May, some days it does not feel like the summer is about to come. So although this soup is perfect for cold, rainy October months, today it worked just as well! It is a simplified version of Nigella’s recipe. I like it better with fresh fish, and don’t care so much
