Pasta salad is not may favorite dish. Cold pasta and some leftovers or canned vegetables does not sound exciting. This is a different take (inspired by bcommebon blog recipe), more elegant, with a more developed taste. Sweet roasted peppers with a hint of sriracha and a perfectly cooked pacceri pasta make this a wonderful start

It’s a date night recipe. It’s not so often that Karl and I get to go on a date, but when we do it’s special and we try to find a place where we could celebrate the evening with a good meal. And then I often get inspired to try to cook something similar at

You know this French dessert made with puff pastry and custard cream? Well, aubergine mille-feuille is so much better! Especially to an aubergine fan as I am! I never made a traditional mille-feuille, but I guarantee that this one is much easier to make!  

I didn’t post anything in a while. Summer holidays and lots of travel. Lots of eating out and interesting dishes that I will certainly introduce into our menu. This dish is a tribute to tomatoes.

And again chorizo, this time with juicy, sweet peaches. A wonderful summer snack (yes, we finally have summer here!). The sweetness of the peach and the spicy chorizo work really well! And perfectly easy to prepare. A sister recipe to gorgonzola peaches, can just as well be served together.    

This is a perfect dessert for a summer day. Well, it’s been raining most of this week, but hey, it’s summer and there’s these wonderful strawberries, so yes, it’s a perfect dessert for today. And it’s so simple, so even if you are filling lazy, you can still get it done!

Beets can be a star of a dish too. This cheap  vegetable is often perceived as weird especially for it’s strong color.  But it has a large potential to amaze with it’s hidden sweet flavor. Works really well with salty goat cheese. Karl doesn’t like it, but I’m still working on that!

I should not take credit for this recipe, it’s almost a copy of Nigella’s Irish Cream Tiramisu, although I am using a little less of the biscuits, I like to have more of the cream. But I can take the credit for the implementation and the picture :-). I like it much better than a

Another take on panna cotta, this time in an appetizer version. If you like cheese, you will definitely enjoy this take on the Italian classic.
