I’m spending a week end at home.
Not unusual but this week end is harder than usual as hubby is sick.
By sick I mean very sick and you know how men deal with flu, cold and bellyache.
All I’m cooking at the moment is white rice and lemon tea but as son is playing Xbox after homeworks and I washed all his rugby apparel then washed the washing machine because of sand and ground I have time enough to write on blog and when I have time for it I feel blessed because I really like it.
Do you know Paul Hollywood’s tv serie ” City bakes“?
I didn’t until the last flu of my son; he was sick and he wanted to see tv with me in bed.
We were watching Food Network and Paul appeared, walking around a beautiful city, entering bakeries and tasting bread, sweets and pastries.
I love Paul Holliwood a lot, I did some of his recipes like the Guinness cupcakes and this walnut cake from one of his books, even the soda bread, one of the first posts on this blog, comes from him: everything I did turned out so amazing, recipes from books are perfect ( it should be granted when when we speak of cooking book but I can assure you it’s not, mistakes and typo that change the sense of the recipe are so common even if I have to say UK books are usually pretty accurate, expecially compared to Italian ones).
Hearts, red roses, teddy bears in every shop’s window?
Have you seen them?
Yes, it’s that moment of the year again, St. Valentine is coming, brace yourself!
St. Valentine is not a day I use to celebrate, I’m not interested in flowers, presents, jewels…
If hubby wants me happy he can bring me out to try a new restaurant but he can do it always, not only on 14 February! 😀
Back with a very nice recipe, pretty useful for your weeknight meals.
It’s easy, quick and also have a sophisticated flair if served into a nice oven plate.
It’s a side dish but if you are like me and you could eat tonz of spinach in a single meal you can also have it as single course.
I did it for a recipe exchange with my Italian blogger fellows Bloggalline, the iriginal recipe is with summer vegetables ( bell peppers, courgettes…) but as usual I love to modify the recipe I take inspiration from because I don’t like to fill the web with copycat recipes.
Hi everybody,
I’m here again to share with you a recipe I made for an Italian online beer shop: the Italian version of the recipe is on their blog but as always I want to be sure my English speaking readers can read it.
Beer toffees are a very very tasty treat and they are also really easy to make, just follow my directions!
For this recipe I used a Belgian Ale called Père Noël from De Ranke brewing but you can use the beer you like the most.
I come from a long week of (my son’s) flu: this year flu hits pretty hard, he starded on monday evening with temperature and only ended on saturday; now he is weak and not energetic as usual, I don’t know how will he survive the next whole week of school. 🙁
