Avocado in own shell! You may suspect that after a few weeks of blogging I run out of bowls, so I am now looking at increasing the diversity of my pictures by introducing new tableware. This would only be partly true. The second reason is that I like the idea of having fewer dishes to

Even though it’s end May, some days it does not feel like the summer is about to come. So although this soup is perfect for cold, rainy October months, today it worked just as well! It is a simplified version of Nigella’s recipe. I like it better with fresh fish, and don’t care so much
