28 April 2019

The ground ivy (Glechoma hederacea) is an aromatic plant of the same family as mint and melissa. Its powerful smell actually reminds of mint. It can be recognized by its square stem, the heart-shaped leaves with circular teeth that grow with an angle of 90° at every level, and by the purple flowers that bloom in the spring and look like tiny little orchids.…

Blueberries stuffed pastry

3 April 2019

And here is “A Princess and a pea” dessert. And if the the number of the filo pastry sheets choice might seem quite random, be sure it’s not. This allows to eat every floor like a delicate sandwich, with fingertips, and incidentally, it avoids the transformation of the dessert into an amorphous magma, not very “princess style” anymore……

Delicious drink with amazing virtues, the golden milk is a full of antioxidants beverage. It helps relieve colds, flu, and sore throat, but it’s also good for articulations and digestion.

Ok, here we love Italian food, and of course, gnocchis. So we wanted to share a recipe, but we need to confess that most of the time, we bought them ready-made to save time.

Fresh grape juice

5 September 2018

Ok, it’s not exactly a recipe, as it is so obvious. And also, you will need a steam juice extractor. But it’s seasonal, it’s harvesting everywhere and it’s very easy to buy crates of ripe grape.

And of course, choose organic grape… In average, 1kg of grape will make…
