This is not a cake. This is a torte as we call it in Greece. These types of sweets are sold in sweet stores and they are made with chocolate, cream, caramel, etc. It usually has one or two very thin layers of sponge-cake or lady fingers and filling. On top they are decorated with...

Lasagna Bolognese

We are all sick again. My child brought from the kindergarten a spring flu and me and my husband caught it as well. This winter has been nothing more than fever, cold, cough, runny nose and all these beauties that come with a good cold. But now I thought that since the weather here is...
