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…
Food tastings, recipe sketches and general rants
At the moment I have some strange aversion to cooking and shooting recipes for this blog, I want to post about food but after years of cooking, shooting, posting I seem to have arrived at a point where I’m a…
A cat and fast food restaurants
I found this cat, sitting on a wall with in the golden late-afternoon sun reflected in its fur, when I was taking a walk in a new neighbourhood. You don’t think this has to do with food but it has….
San Francisco, IACP and Savoy Cabbage
The other day I had a session with a Savoy cabbage in my studio, I did it for several reasons, one was obviously the fact that I wanted to shoot it before I cooked something with it, Savoy cabbage is…
Skies
The sky was so dramatic when I took the dog out for his walk this morning, it started golden and pink and then turned grey and forbidding.
Tangible sunshine – Orange and Carrot Salad With Ginger
Isn’t it strange how you sometimes can go through with decisions and sometimes it just doesn’t work at all. It is as if your character, no I should say my character because I don’t want to blame you for my…
