I’ve only discovered the wonderful world of cooking magazines recently and I already have my favourites. On top of the list is Saveur not only for the wonderful food but because it combines a few things I love: travel and well-researched articles about other cultures with a great emphasis on the place of food in [...] I have only two weeks before handing in my thesis and time is at a premium. There’s no time to blog or try anything too time consuming in the kitchen. Luckily it is summer, time for colourful salads and tomatoes, LOTS of tomatoes. I don’t think I discovered what truly good tomatoes were until about [...] I got some fresh shelling peas in my CSA share this past week and when I came a Venetian-style risotto in Mario Batali’s book Molto Italiano, I couldn’t resist.

Looking for something to do with it other than spreading it on bread, I came across this recipe from Smitten Kitchen. It seemed perfect in every way – unless you have high cholesterol and want to lose lots of weight fast; but in that case, [...] It is no secret on this blog that I love my cast iron skillet and inventing different cornbread recipes.

 Hi, I'm Alexandra. Born in Brazil, Canadian by choice, and having lived in exciting Barcelona for a year between 2006 and 2007, my earliest childhood memories revolve around food and food is what I remember most about every place I’ve ever lived.
