What to cook for a cook?

Quite a while ago, a friend of mine called me for a chatter after a long and exhausting day . I was very tired, had no interest in talking on phone with anyone. I thought "darn, what  does he want now, I have to get rid of him quickly". So  I just answered with a deep "sigh" and a rude "what can I do for you", to warn him that it is not the right time for phonecalls. Not quite friendly is it?

How to think vegan

Few months ago I got a nice email from Harini @Toung Ticklers  to write a guest post on her blog. I was thrilled, only her blog is vegan and I am definitely not. Eating a lot of vegetables alone was not enough this time.

Risotto & Wild Garlic

I think, since I am having a food blog here, I have to be very honest with you and make a confession. I only started to cook about five years ago! Oh, yes! Before that I was way too busy building my carrier in the business sector. I rather ate in restaurants than cooked at home but then something happened and my life turned 180°. I lost my job one day to another and because that was not enough stress, in a month I found myself in Switzerland along with my Swiss -at that time still- boyfriend. At first I was lost. What should a gal do in a foreign country, where everyone seems to be rude at the first sight and hardly understands the language. Well for sure first I drove around the country getting to know my new home, but when I got home had to find something to entertain myself. So I started to cook, better to say, to experiment in the kitchen.
