I peer into the oven, a little worried that my bread will not be coming out as I had intended it to. Hmm, still undercooked. I close the door again, busy myself with cleaning the kitchen after having made quite a bit of a mess doing various dishes at the same time. Open the door [...]

Sometimes, when I’ve been away from the stove for too long I get ‘cooking withdrawal’ symptoms… I am sure you did not know that those existed now did you? I get cranky and feel a very urgent need to go and make something fun, anything will do really. Now this particular lunch that I had [...]
