Easy, Healthy, Yum!
Following the mushroom soup I was telling you about, I thought of a just as healthy dinner. And what better healthy dinner than grilled chicken breast with veggies? Ugh, you might say, as it is the diet food by all standards. But I found that with a bit of spicy magic and, of course, a [...]
Creamy Mushroom and Potato Soup
Looking around blogs in January, it seems like everyone is more keen on light and healthy recipes than before. Everyone is dieting, everyone pays attention to the amount of fat, sugar and other nasty things they are putting in their body. In my experience it won’t be long before cupcakes pop up on the menu [...]
Bloggers’ Night out – Indian Style
Si uite ca pe ultima suta de metri a anului 2010 am reusit si noi, food bloggeri de Romania, sa ne reunim intr-un minunat ambient indian pe Soseaua Pipera Tunari 47, la Agra Palace. Motivul, cica, am venit eu in Romania. Cum vazusem mai multe poze si postari de-ale lui Mazi despre Agra Palace, iar [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Teaser for a Fancy Dinner
As I’m writing this I have a soup on the stove that will become blog material and the house smells so good. Well, it’s -3 outside and snowing like crazy so I’m thinking soup is the way to go, definitely. But this is more about the dinner we had on the 25th of November, when, [...]
