I have been away from posting for a few months now and was extremely busy with my personal life. A change of job, new course at the college and the change to a new home made it quite difficult to sit back and take care of my blog. When you become a chef and
Ingredient: Eggs
Homemade Fettuccine with White Wine Mussel Sauce
One of my favorite dishes from Term 3 had to be this. It has everything I love: homemade pasta, mussels, “authentic” tomato sauce and oven dried cherry tomatoes.

Crêpe Suzette
If I have to choose a dish that was the highlight of everything we prepared in Term 2 it would be the Crêpe Suzette. It is very hard to find it on the menu in restaurants these days. Which in my opinion is a shame! I really think it is a great dessert and the idea

Focaccia with Shallots and Basil
I started reading the biography of Gualtiero Marchesi, the founder of the Italian Nouvelle Cuisine. It’s really an inspirational book. It’s about his life and his love for food and cooking. My wish is to meet him, and why not, be able to dine at his restaurant. My next recipe, is a tasty mistake. As
