I made a poll on the facebook group I admin as I needed some inspiration for my next series of posts. I added Italian, Portuguese, African and Asian as options, and Italian won by far (shame on you that do not know Portuguese cuisine and did not vote for it,…
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…
Chocolate, enough said. Oh wait, it gets even better, not single, not double but TRIPLE chocolate. Now I am happy! This time I was looking for a dense, rich, fudgy brownie and I can tell you this one ticks all those boxes! They are delicious, and a small one is…
Lemon, Pistachio, Praline Those three words made me think of a dessert fit for a hot summer day (it was extremely hot here in Mozambique). Off to the kitchen I go, pursuing a perfect cake with those three ingredients in mind. And so this cake was born, and what a…
Barbecue – love it. Barbecue sauce? Love it too, although it was an acquired taste “imported” from South Africa, as in my country it is not common to add barbecue sauce, we make our ribs and wings simple, with just salt and pepper. This recipe came instinctively (I told you…

Ohhh pancakes, what is not to like about it? This time I was cooking brunch and wanted something different. I have several pancake recipes, but I remembered that I had some buttermilk left from a curry I made, and thought to myself “humm, buttermilk pancakes, I like it, lets make…
I was looking for a good yeast bread for quite some time, knowing that it would not have the texture, taste and rise of a high carb bread. I was in fact mostly looking for flavor, that amazing yeast smell of fresh bread coming out of the oven. Never found…
I have used zucchini as a replacement for apples for years. With the right spices and other ingredients, I bet you will not be able to distinguish between it and a real apple. From cobblers, to muffins, compotes, pies, or almost anything else that apples play a role, the humble…
Yes, lemon thyme, a herb usually used for savory dishes, but that makes the difference here. This is just how I am, I use the ingredients that my palate calls for. And so this mug cake was created. The freshness of the raspberries and thyme and the moistness given by…
This was my latest mug cake. I wanted something sweet and had my keto salted caramel and a couple of walnuts, so why not? It turned out truly delicious, and a great option for a quick and easy dessert. I topped it with a teaspoon of my lemon and orange…
