Salad Bella Italia!

When I go to a restaurant I always ponder for hours over the menu, trying to make my mind up. On our honeymoon we went to Rome and once we ate in a perfect restaurant, the food was great but most of all the waiter only asked us one question: red or white...

Summer Tart

When I saw these beautiful tomatoes I first wanted to paint them, but considering my mediocre art skills I decided I would honore their beauty more by cooking them. The result is a Summer Tart, perfect for those evenings when you don't want to spend much...

Pizza with green asparagus, pesto and parma ham

I studied in the south of Germany, in the beautiful and very green city of Freiburg near the French and Swiss borders. If you ever get run over in Freiburg it will be by a bike or a tramway. The people there are very outdoorsy and even in the winter you...

Italian pasta salad

My relationship with pasta salad had a rough start. The first time a pasta salad crossed my path was at a student party, the pasta was way beyond all-dente and drenched in store bought mayonnaise, the few defrosted peas that were added to this mix couldn't...

Green asparagus, broad beans and rocket salad
