With Spring not far away, most of us will probably start feeling the effects of perhaps a little over-indulgence during the cooler months. But let’s face it, soul-soothing winter comfort food is a definite winner! One of my favorite things about that kind of food is …
There are so many options for summer salads, but somehow I ended up making a new version of the Greek salad. I love Mediterranean gastronomy, and this (and so many lovely others) is one of the reasons we visited many of the Greek islands, and this summer we spent a long holiday in ….
The last half of February is definitely more about spring and so much less about winter. I stuff my fridge with fresh greens, open the windows wide to let the fresh air wipe out every bad thought left from the winter darkness and take long walks in the park, concentrating to hear the tree buds making their way to the light.
