Rainbow salad boats

Healthy, appetizing, nourishing: one of the best dinner I've ever had.

Creamy beetroot

If you like bright colours and delicate flavours, that's the right sauce for you. Use it to dress up your pasta, spread on a slice of bread or serve with seitan burgers and similar (muscolo di grano for instance).

Or, as an alternative, use it to paint your children's bedroom walls ahah

Sunday pancakes

"It's Sunday! Pancakes for breakfast!"

Yes guys, it has become our tradition by now : italian couple living in Prague and having breakfast the American way. Aaaah, the power of globalization.

As you can imagine, this post is nothing new : web is full of recipes for pancakes in any version you wish...so why not to add mine too? I tried egg-free version as well, but it didn't satisfy me completely. This is my final recipe, positively tested(*) more than once.

One year in Prague

Stunning architecture, beauty on every corner, immense green spaces throughout the city and beyond.

In Prague there are a lot of things to do and places to go, it's rather cheap (no euro, yeah) and you can come back home alone in the night without fear.

It's a clean city, people-friendly and with efficient public transport (I come from a very small town and was afraid to get lost through metro lines and unnameable streets, but it never happened...so guys, if I made the grade, everybody can).

How not to love it?

"Whatever" soup

Oh my gosh, how could I have lived without miso for so long?

I will not go into the contents about this wonderful food and how to make the tradional Japanese soup (it would be like to discuss with an Italian about carbonara sauce) but I do really like this kind of lets-have-a-look-whats-in-the-fridge-and-try-to-make-something-edible soups. Anyway, may I call it miso soup? After all, there is miso inside...

Fast fruit

As someone said: "Fruit is the original fast food"...and this is one of my favourite afternoon snack in this period: persimmon and banana!

Welcome Autumn

I know Autumn is coming when I crave for hot soups and velvet sauces! My favourite foods during this season are pumpking and mushrooms (any kind) and then chestnuts, persimmon, baked apples with cinnamon, hot chocolate...along with some evergreen that never run out in my kitchen: leek and potatoes.

Millet & Beans

No, I'm not talking about a brand new group on the musical scene, even if the name might deceive you ahah

Millet balls are a recent discovery, very easy to prepare and super healthy, and the sauce is irresistible thanks to a secret ingredient...

Spring quinoa salad

Yeah, I know, it's November and I'm talking about SPRING...I wish it was! In the meantime, I can imagine to enjoy this simple and tasty quinoa salad laying on a blooming lawn under a lukewarm sun :) you should try as well!
