Another Year, Another Christmas…
We’re spending the holidays in Romania, hence the sudden disappearance. However, I could just not leave you without the most appropriate video for the “Chat de Chocolat Meets the Holidays” event I have ever seen: Merry Christmas everyone, I wish you all the best in the world, plenty of happiness and joy. Oh, and I [...]
Pan Fried Duck Breast With Spicy Cherry Jam and Roasted Baby Potatoes
Since Christmas is coming and maybe some of you will be spending it as a couple, or maybe with just very few friends, I am sure you will not need a whole turkey or such for your Christmas dinner. However, of course you’ll want something special. The duck presented here was also for a special [...]
My Etsy Love (II)
Just 12 days ’till Christmas! How’s your shopping going? As promised, I am putting here some Etsy shops I really loved over the past few months so that maybe you can be inspired in your quest for the perfect gift. Of course, I realize now, most the gifts i am suggesting are for ladies, but…it [...]
Guilty Pleasures…Homemade Donuts
Yes, yes, this is not a healthy treat. It’s sugary and deep fried and and…so good. And what’s more, half the work was done in the bread maker so they were quite easy to make to be honest. So easy that I’m scared I might make them a bit too often. I made them for [...]
The Christmas Frenzy Continues…
*Post in Romanian, the shop only delivers there for the moment* Dragele mele, Sa va spun cate ceva despre Lotiuni de Corp Solide. In primul rand, sunt minunate. In al doilea rand, au doar 3 ingrediente fiecare, toate comestibile (desi sincer, nu prea cred ca sunt si gustoase). Sunt facute cu drag de Alexandra, iar [...]
My Etsy Love (I)
So I was thinking everyone is on a shopping frenzy right now (I’m not, haven’t bought a thing yet) and had the idea of sharing with you some Etsy shops I found really, really cute. I only found out about Etsy a few months ago and thought it is awesome. There are SO many things [...]
How to Start the Perfect Weekend
Well, I must confess, I haven’t made any of what can be seen on the platter. I just put them nicely together and took pictures. That should count too, right? My real effort though was the following: I went to bed last night at 23:00. What does it have to do with my breakfast today [...]
Romantic Dinner Step 1: Salmon Temaki
When planning a romantic dinner, in my opinion, you need to make sure of the following: You don’t make this every other day. It looks fancy and yummy but it really isn’t that difficult to make. It’s best to be able to make at least 2 out of 3 courses in advance. You want to [...]
Heart Warming Veggie Soup
When it’s -3 outside you kind of wish you could stay indoors. It was snowing like crazy yesterday, it was probably one of the few days I was sort of glad I was unemployed. Something warm and cozy and yummy was needed. Soup…what else? Sorry, George. So I looked in the fridge for whatever veggies [...]
Dark Chocolate Truffles
48 chocolate truffles for 48 months of love. I know, I’m such a romantic sometimes, although it may mean the lovely boyfriend is now literally devouring my youth but that’s a whole other story… Anyway, I got the recipe from the lovely Tartelette who makes the at Christmas time every year. Her recipe yields 35-45 [...]
