Creamy pasta
It’s been almost one and a half year ago that I last made this dish… Where did time go?? I cannot believe it is that long but here we are in 2010 and I made this before in 2008… The recipe comes originally from the book “Rond de wereld in 80 recepten” (around [...]
When I first read that we had white clam sauce on the menu for this week’s Cooking Italy, I was seriously doubting that I would be making this. You have to know that I am really not a fan of shelled seafood… I just think they look scary.. But then again; I do [...]
As I mentioned yesterday already I joined the Cooking Italy group that Angela from Spinach Tiger started. It’s great fun and each month she picks four recipes that we cook out of the book ‘The essentials of Italian Classic Cooking” from Marcella Hazan. I’ve been reading in the book and have already learned quite a [...]
Delicious cannelloni
I can’t remember when I decided to make this dish; I think I had seriously bought too much vegetables while at the market and simply was looking for ways to use it all before it would go bad. We have the entire series of Jamie at Home on DVD and we love to [...]

Sorry about posting an upside down photo on the post yesterday, but I’m posting via email so I couldn’t really change it. The day started really good with lots of sunshine this morning so we were hoping for another beautiful day but unfortunately the weather changed during the [...]
At a restaurant in Peschiera
Well maybe the title of this blog is not really appropriate considering the fact that we are now sitting on our balcony in an incredible noisy hotel. It’s a huge hotel and I think they are filling it in the off season with noisy schoolkids! Lucky us. Yesterday was bad [...]
Mantova by night
For some reason I have only ever been to Italy one day… Yes ladies and gentleman one lousy and waaay too short day! We’ve been planning to go to Italy for years really as we both love Italy and the Italian food, but for some reason the destinations of our holidays always [...]
Garlic spaghetti with bacon strips and basil
We are having a ridiculously busy week this week and that also means that we will not be eating together at all…
Yesterday evening I had a preweddingshoot with a weddingcouple, tonight Tom has a party for the announcement of the best company of the year, tomorrow [...]
