Organic Jam – Simple Labelled food so decadent
Food is one of my favourite things in life and I enjoy it even more when I know what’s in it! Whenever I go to the supermarket and grocery store I prefer looking at the labels before buying stuff. Whenever I can, I completely avoid preservatives or colorants and prefer “simple labelled” food over 100 […]

There is going to be food? Ok I’ll come!
Appetizer with egg, tuna and cheese Recipe I think everyone relates food or specific recipes to memories and whenever you make them again, it seems like you smell the same odours or experience the same moment of that particular time.

Sweet Easter memories and the chocolate bunny!
There is no Easter for me without chocolate, chocolate eggs, or other unhealthy food you find in the groceries. I have always had an incredible amount of food during Easter but this specific year will be a bit different as me and my husband will be alone and will celebrate it alone.

After a hard day from work, I usually am really hungry and due to this, I try really hard not to eat easy accessible junk food (like crisps or chocolate bars).

3 casual continents on a dish
Salmon couscous with stir-fry vegetables Since today it is Friday (my favourite day of the week by the way) we decided to cook something really different and interesting. As enjoyed it a lot, I thought why not share it with everyone.
I believe, I trust, I appreciate……
I feel like there is a magical and strong power surrounding the word “believe”, I don’t know why but it makes you feel so small in front of it. Believing into someone or something is taking part into something which is uncontrollable ( you can’t help yourself not deeply feeling it) and unknown to you […]

I always forget about trees left completely abandoned during winter but this week I noticed some little green leaves timidly growing. I was really surprised.

Why do people like Spring?
You wake up in the morning, you open the window and you feel a light breeze going through your hair, you hear the birds singing happily and you feel like they want to inform you something really. Spring is “next door”.

Moving in another country
I was in my kitchen the other day and as I was drinking a cup of tea (green tea and pomegranate) and I suddenly realised that I haven’t had my italian espresso for a long time now.
