I have just finished reading a wonderful book by Fannie Flagg, Can’t wait to go to Heaven. I just discovered that it was the last book of a series of 3 books. The main character, Mrs. Elner Shimfissle, will be an inspiration in my life. You may think I am exaggerating, but you have to read
Tuna Steak with Green Beans and Goat Cheese
Hey everyone, so we had another dinner last Saturday with Sussy and Sblob, actually there were supposed to join us other two friends that cancelled. Sussy made the Cosmopolitan cocktail to drink with the appetizers, and she also made cheese biscuits to go along with it. I never drank Cosmopolitan before, and I found it
Lime marinated Steak with Goat Cheese
Let me start by saying that my two summer Cinema nights were absolutely stunning. I was born in 1984, so I wasn’t given the chance to watch The Blues Brothers when it was released for the first time in cinemas. And I also couldn’t see Bob Marley and his movement. So for all these reasons,
Watermelon Salad with Feta
These days in Milan is really really hot. Right now it’s almost 9 P.M. and yet outside we have 30°C. And I think this recipe is really what your body craves in these days. Watermelon is refreshing and satisfying. You can prepare this quick dish for dinner, as I am sure that most of you

Irie! I discovered that on 26th of June the documentary about Bob Marley will be showed in all cinemas. And I have already booked the tickets and I will let you know about it. I really appreciate his music and most of all his powerful words. Probably I have been influenced by my brother, who

Roasted Tomato and Brie Tartlets
These tartlets were a beautiful discovery. I served them as an appetizer. I just made a small change to the original ingredients by adding the eggs. They were tasty, but I realized that if you are greedy on the brie then they’ll be dry. I shouldn’t have Balsamic Vinegar according to Dr. Mozzi, but I
Blue Goat Cheese Crusted Filet with Port Wine Sauce
This was a very busy weekend. It all began with a dinner at one of the best Japanese restaurants in Milan, Osaka. My hubby and I usually go to Osaka in Winter to enjoy a warming bowl of Ramen along with their mouth watering Gyoza. Then a stop for a glass of wine in one
Quinoa with Cherry tomatoes and Mozzarella
It’s almost Summer in Italy. The weather finally seems to be warm. I love this time of the year, as it just wakes all my senses. I love the bright sun in the morning, it gives me energy and the desire to wake up and face the day. All around me is green and lots
Quinoa with Asparagus Omelette
Now that the chocolate series has ended, I would like to cook and post some savoury foods. Since I went wheat free, quinoa has been a good substitution for wheat. It’s very easy to cook quinoa. This was my Sunday lunch. I prepared a omelette with asparagus, as this is the right season for fresh
