Barbari, a Persian Flat Bread
(I wrote this post before I left for Sicily so there are no direct links to Elizabeth’s post on the bread, I will try to remember to put those links into the text) This month Elizabeth has chosen which bread…
Life’s nicer moments – Hazelnut and Yoghurt Cake
I can see the morning mist rising from the wooded hill above my house, I hear a blackbird is singing and my dog is looking at me through the glass of the kitchen door, urging me to take him out…
If you miss me…
I know, I know, I haven’t been around but things have been busy here lately, going here and there, working on photos for this group exhibition, and working hard on my and Jamie’s new blog Plated Stories. Plus living…
Bread Baking Buddy roundup – the Whipped Bread
It is time for the Bread Baking Buddy roundup and I’m happy to see that I have several Buddy breads to present here and that our Buddies liked the Whipped Bread as much as I do. Barbara from Barbara Bakes…
I couldn’t resist it, can you? – Whipped Bread
Right now it feels like I’m either posting about postings to come, photos from travels or Bread Baking Babes’ bread. I don’t know why I wrote ‘feels like’ when it actually is like that but here it is, I am…
Off to Naples for a few days…
While I bask in sun, culture, pizze and fritture in Naples, you can always steer over to Plated Stories and read our last post in case you missed it!
The last of San Francisco, Noel Barnhurst’s studio, Punk Domestic Italian Tours and Sugar Knife.
When I was in San Francisco I had the opportunity to visit food photographer Noel Barnhurst’s incredible studio, he generously opened it up for an IACP tour and when I say generous, I mean generous; not only is he a…
A new blog and a little of San Francisco
I don’t know why it is so difficult for me to put up some photos from trips I make, I think one reason is that I wonder if people really are that interested after all. Another reason is that I…
A perfect picnic bread – Tomato, Basil & Garlic Filled Pane Bianco
The sudden sun and warmth that sprung during my absence has caused a green explosion here, reminiscent of what happens in Sweden when the Spring appears, that damned lawn of mine is wild, high and full of daisies but right…
A sign of Life
Yes I’m back, I had a wonderful time and will try my best to put up some sort of resumé of how it was this coming week.
A mistake that wasn’t one – Dark Chocolate Squares With White Chocolate Spots (gluten-free) and Chocolate Brownies With Chickpea Flour and Hazelnuts (gluten-free)
A last post before I fly to San Francisco in a few days time, I have a jam-packed schedule ahead of me: the IACP conference, mine and Jamie’s Expat Strategy session on Monday, all the breakfasts, lunches and dinners I…
The many ways to love a radish – the French way, the Radish, Parmesan and Balsamic Vinegar Salad way and the Moroccan Orange and Radish Salad way.
I have been shooting radishes for a piece in a new magazine that I will tell you more about later on when it is out but for now I will just talk about what I did with all the billions…
Lemony love – Gâteau à la crème
Eggs and lemon is what I associate with this wonderful cake/sweet bread/brioche that lovely Lien has chosen for us Bread Baking Babes to bake this month. And a good choice it is, that cream taste like lemon curd and lemon…
When you need some omph – Chard With Capers, Anchovy and Sun-dried Tomatoes
If April is the cruelest month in England, March is it here in Italy. And this year more than others, tomorrow is the 8th of March and for the first time since I moved here (I think, I tend to…
Chopping and Barley Salad With Broccoli, Grilled Peppers and Black Olives
It’s been snowing again but this time we had a rather short date with it. Today I feel spring in the air but unfortunately that doesn’t help my mood, things are not going my way today, practical things outside my…
Sometimes cold can be good – Bread Pudding With Ricotta, Nutella and Strawberry Jam
In our house you know Spring has come when you can use the Nutella as a spread again. During the winter we more or less hack it out of the jar and when I make crepes or pancakes and want…
Five years and Assyrian Pies (my way)
Five Years but contrary to Bowie’s song, these five years are not a limit but just the beginning. Five years ago Tanna and Karen asked me if I wanted to join them in a group they were creating, it was…
Overwhelmed
Your response to my last post has overwhelmed me, I threw out a more or less rhetorical question and so many of you came out of the woods to cheer me on in this new plan of mine, a plan…
