It’s true! I’m a wild garlic addict. And since it’s in season only very briefly I tend to put it everywhere. In soups, in focaccia, as a pesto, savoury muffins ...

Aubergine tower
Now that the temperatures are getting pleasant again people start getting out their barbies and grill away anything edible . I wonder why barbecue is so fascinating, is it some cavemen kinda thing? That makes men go all *arhhh arhhh*? Dunno, but it’s nice to have someone cook for you, like, I prepare the veggies, [...]
Hot cheddar balls
“Cheddar makes it all better”… I heard this sentence a couple of days ago looking an episode of “Man vs. food” and I laughed my a.. head off . Whether it’s really true or not, it’s not for me to say, I’m a fan , but I also like all (but one) of the cheeses [...]
Rolled focaccia with black olives and sundried tomatoes
Lately I received a bag of sundried tomatoes from a working colleague. Hope she didn’t feel too obliged, since I was constantly talking about how much I love them and about the fact that they are comparatively pretty expensive here. Anyway. Thanks a lot for them They are being used for various things, like this [...]
Oriental dip with flatbread strips
Actually I wanted to prepare some guacamole to have with these strips of bread dough cooked in the oven… Well, well… As I opened the avocado *iiiihhhh* and *uuuuhhh* it was all black and brown. No way I could use that. So back to step one… What can I prepare today? And more important, what [...]
Stewed rhubarb with lemongrass and fresh strawberries
Strawberries are slowly coming on the market… I mean local strawberries. Not that I’m not using also imported ones, I’m an addict and can’t wait for them to arrive, but the locals are better (and I don’t mean local to me, but local in general). Anyway, off the red herring and back on the recipe [...]
Cheddar stuffed meatballs
Stuffed meatballs are nothing new. I used to do them a lot a while ago, also some very decadent with meat stuffed meatballs (veeeery decadent indeed). I had a little bit of ground beef left and I thought, why not make meatballs again? and, as “With cheddar, it all gets better”, I thought to stuff [...]
Beef tartare with wild garlic
Loooove this one, I really do. It’s so quick and easy (actually most of my recipes are, at least I think so). Very little ingredients, like don’t mess with the food if it’s already good in its purest form. So in this case I just prepared a very light pesto with the wild garlic and [...]
Applestrudel with vanilla whipped cream
Here comes something for those with a little bit of a sweet tooth. It’s not too sweet, it doesn’t stuck on the roof of your mouth, and it doesn’t take ages to prepare… it took more time to cook than to actually prepare it. I had also my usual bunch of little helpers, so, this [...]
Tortilla wedges with spring onions and wild garlic
Yey! There’s still wild garlic around! So happy I still could find some, because this recipe is sooo quick and easy, anybody can do it. It’s like, I’m late, still have to prepare dinner, but once the water for pasta is on and the sauce is cooking I don’t have much time left to prepare [...]
Corn coated squids with grilled tomatoes salad
So, a couple of weeks ago we had this “preview” of a summer… a couple of days of sun and mild (let’s not overstretch it, it’s far from being hot and being able to sip on a cocktail while laying on a chaiselongue) temperatures. And fan of grilled food as we are, I wanted to [...]
