This vegetarian timbale is inspired to a traditional Ligurian dish, polpettone di fagiolini, something I heard of the first time I went to Liguria – oh my, that was 20 years ago! Enclosed between the Mediterranean sea, the Alps and the Apennines mountains, Liguria is a narrow strip of land which is breath taking to look at and […]
All right. This feels almost like a coming out. Yes, I have a secret. And it has to do with me “secretly” exchanging correspondence with another fellow food blogger. No, not ANY fellow food blogger. Another bread-nerd fellow food blogger. Actually, I have been writing with plenty of fellow food bloggers and some of them […]
Christmas. Maybe the most stressful time of the year is just before it. Deadlines at work, kids needing to be spoiled, families expecting Lucullian feasts. And us? The mothers, wives, and hosts, what do we want for Christmas? This year, what I really wanted and had in my mind constantly was to make my own […]
Ok, Ok, I know. I should not go around making statements like the one I have just made. I promised to Santa to be lagom this year. Lagom means just right in Swedish, and underlies how Swedes strive to avoid excess and particularly to avoid overstatements. So I hope Santa won’t deny me a present this […]
This month’s theme for Bread Baking Day, hosted by my friend Stephanie, is overnight recipes. Bread recipes in which the dough rests a whole night. So I immediately thought about my “discards” overnight spelt buns, which I came up with while preparing for another bread recipe and did not want to throw away my bubbling sourdough. […]
These are some of my favorite veggie burgers ever. And the good news is that they are also extremely easy to make from scratch, using only a few ingredients that is possible to have always at hand. They are soy-free (I am slightly intolerant to soy, how about you?), gluten-free, packed with proteins and vitamins […]
This has been a quite interesting week. Besides a few technical problems in our lovely Stockholm’s apartment, the cat “decided” to be severely sick and needed surgery. But what has all of this to do with a scrumptious chocolate-chestnut loaf of bread? Well, the link is in the lucky coincidence of Tatta’s (our little Persian) […]
As for apples, we are so used to see pears all-year round that we tend to forget that they are in season right now. So I decided to make the best of this gloomy mid-Autumn by roasting some lovely pears with balsamico, vanilla, and coconut sugar and serving them sprinkled with grated lime zest and […]
Lasagne di panissa… it took me a while to figure out what they were. I once tasted something similar to panissa, farinata, which is a focaccia made with chickpea flour rather than regular flour and which is typical of a region called Liguria, situated on the North-West Italian coast. Although I have been to Liguria […]
I realize that it has been quite a while since I posted something other than bread. But, truly, saying I now live on bread and water is not a huge exaggeration. Lately I grew out of some of the food I was eating before, like meat. And reduced considerably also all other sources of animal-based […]
