Picasso once said: “I paint the way some people write their autobiography. The paintings, finished or not, are the pages from my diary…” Now, replace paint with “cook” in the first sentence and replace paintings with “dishes” in the second and you’ll understand why. My blog is pretty much a chronicle of my life. [...]

Patience has never been my strong point. When I want things done, I want it straight away and a few years ago I realized my husband just doesn’t work on the same time zone as I do. Every Monday night I used to ask “Can you take the trash out?” “Yes.” He would reply. Five [...]

Let me start of by saying that this pasta dish is not for the faint hearted. Seriously. It has been said that if you do any research on coronary heart disease, you will find that the leading cause will be Armando Percuoco’s fettuccine al tartufovo (truffled egg pasta).

“Step away from the fridge! ” I barked at my husband. “It’s wired!” I continued. “You’ve just picked up the bottle of water. We’ve got five seconds before we’re charged. We can still salvage the situation. Put the bottle down and slowly close the fridge.” I added. And this begins our first day in Paris.
Cooking with love… Spicy Scallop with Thai Dressing

The other day I met two of my workmates on their way to lunch. I asked them where they were off to. “We’re going to have Thai at the food court,” “Have you ever tried the Indian there?” I asked. “Yes but I’ll never go back there.” One of them told me. “Why not? Is [...]
