As I said in our facebook keto group, I might be watching too much of Australia’s Masterchef. But how could I not? The contestants are outstanding, the quality of the dishes surely is amazing, so much better than any other Masterchef show. There is no conflict between contestants, there are…
After my first post about Verona, this one is more practical and will tell you what I did choose to see, with a nice photographic gallery to help you visualize. I strongly advise to choose an accommodation option in the historical center, to avoid spending money on taxi, public transport…
Chicken wings. Not part of the food culture in my country, but it is in South Africa, to where I travel often. I do like chicken wings in many ways, from simply with salt and pepper, to more elaborated versions This Asian inspired version is really good, and I believe…
As said in my previous post about my festive holiday travel to South Africa, I decided to spend a week in Mpumalanga, from the 28th of December to the 4th of January, to relax and de-stress from a very hard year. I booked two places (Tomjachu from which I wrote…
Cauliflower, an acquired taste for me. I used to find it smelly and the taste was not a favorite. Why? Because it was badly cooked. Mushy, liquidy pieces of cauliflower badly seasoned in a plate, serving as a side for a cut of meat or fish. Not this one. This…
San Giorgio Maggiore is the island just in front of San Marco, across the canal. I had read a lot about the view from there, and as I am passionate about panoramic views (and I still do not own a drone) we decided to go there. Decision not to be…
I love Asian flavors. My favourite? Japanese, Thai and Indonesian. This salad was inspired by Thai flavors. You can use brown meat, but I prefer the breast in this dish. As it is poached in coconut milk, it retains moisture and absorbs beautifully the flavors of the spices and herbs…
It is possible I will get my French followers angry as I did modify their beloved (and delicious, but not keto) recipe. Pardonnez-moi mes amis mais je devais changer la recette I did not change it much, I just did skip the flour (and honestly for me I prefer it…
If you did read my first series of posts about Venice, last year, you will know how passionate I was about it. La Serenissima is beautiful in spite of the massive influx of not so respectful tourists she gets every year. This time I went there at the end of…
Usually I like to have a nice brunch on my weekends, a bit more elaborated, and with a dessert. Pancakes (either savory or sweet) are one of my favorite Sunday brunch desserts. This time I went for an Italian touch, with mascarpone and pistachios. They turned out quite good, the…
This recipe is the first of my new series: The Everyday meals. This idea came from the requests of the members of the Facebook group I help admin, when my dumb person asked if they wanted to have the recipes of my basic meals. Bad move woman!!! Now I have…
The original recipe I learnt from a dear and recently deceased friend. One of my best friends, a fantastic woman that left us too soon. To you Cordélia, I dedicate this recipe. Of course I did add some tweaks (as usual) and it is a favorite of everyone I make…
