Hot spoon to catch your lover

From Malaga If someone asks me what is my favourite plate, a bunch of them stroll through my mind, but soup is my number one, definitely. A huge bowl of chicken soup gives me energy against the flu or hangover. In wintertime, soup, soup, soup. Vegetables and mint leaves, in a mild broth, are a perfect

Haters will hate: truffle oil love

Tastes of 2016 to inspire 2017

Ireland Every good moment deserves to be shared. The recipe as following to the letter is adapted, replacing the hamburger bread to a brioche instead. Last year has been full of tasty memories, from the canjica – a brazilian sweet dish made with white maize, coconut milk and cinnamon -, to a mouth watering barbecue

Hungry for home? Go for sardine pizza

Germany “One month! I’m here in in Germany for a month already!” She hadn’t even unpacked yet. Her mind was still in Rio, in the last preparations for the trip. When she was packaging everything, a friend phoned and asked if she still had the sardine pizza recipe – a family flavour. The question seemed
