Just before I start talking about my yet another bread adventure, I can’t help but sharing some thoughts regarding this catastrophe in Japan. I saw on TV how in a matter of minutes the wreath of nature has made disappear what humans have created in so many years of struggle and effort. Also, all these...

Coca-Cola Chicken Breasts
Sometimes I think my mom was years ahead in cooking. As I was browsing the internet I saw a recipe in Steamy Kitchen for cola glazed wings made by Virginia Willis and I remembered the first time we ate coca-cola glazed pork chops. Twenty years ago, when there was no internet and surely not so...

Spinach Crepes
I woke up this morning and that was the view from my bedroom window. For a moment it was like a de ja vu moment in my life. I felt like when I was years back in New Hampshire and I was watching the snow from my apartment’s window. Is this March or January? I...

Chicken Soup
I think March is showing us his teeth. It is freaking cold outside and the temperature keeps falling. I was hoping that the weather would start getting warmer, but I guess he doesn’t feel like it! Anyway, I ate this soup many years ago, during my first trip to the US. I was visiting...

Olive Bread (Eliopsomo)
First I would like to apologize to all of you for not being able to visit your blogs the last couple of days, as I am a little sick. Sore throat, nose that sneezes and generally all these beautiful and exciting things that come with the common cold. I avoid sitting in front of...

Waffles with Melted Chocolate
As I am still in my mood for chocolate, to be honest I am always in the mood for chocolate, anyway, as I was saying, I thought of sharing another sweet with you. I found this recipe on King Arthur’s Baking Banter and they immediately spoke to my chocolate heart. I knew a priori that...

Chocolate Charlotte with Rum
Valentine’s Day is approaching fast. When I was younger, I expected from my boyfriend the full package; flowers, gift, card and of course a romantic night out for dinner. As I was growing up, I realized that this day is a little bit overestimated. The florists make special flower compositions for the day, which charge...
