Last weekend was great, the sun was out all over London and the weather was slightly crisp. I love these February days in London when I still have to wear layers of clothes but somehow I can’t leave the house without my sunglasses. This put me in such a good mood that I decided to cook something summery and by that I mean, light and colourful!
Read MoreDo you guys know bissara?
Bissara is a crisscross between a dip and a soup, I wasn’t sure if I should call it a soup or a dip. I ended up calling it a dip because we eat it exclusively with bread (and nothing else!), but anyway it doesn’t really matter, doesn’t? Cause we’re all here after one specific thing: deliciousness. And this my friends, is deliciousness on a plate.

The weather forecasts are predicting very cold and rainy days ahead of us. Weeelllll, more precisely they are predicting a storm, the Jonas storm. You know the one that hit NYC a few days ago. But unlike our dear Big Apple we won’t get any snow, just rain. So it will be a Jonas storm, the British way, or at least for London.

Read MoreDo you remember when I made bastila? It was about 9 months ago AND it was my first post, can you believe this?! 2015 is practically over.
I chose to launch my blog with bastila because; first, of all the Moroccan dishes, it is one of my favourite and I think generally speaking literally everyone LOVES bastila. Second, because bastila usually requires a fairly long preparation time and doing it for the blog felt like a big deal back then. So I chose it mainly to challenge myself.
Bastila is the most famous Moroccan dish and it has been adapted by many chefs internationally; chefs very often choose to substitute chicken with duck and also add their own magical twist to this Moroccan classic.
Read MoreWhat could possibly taste better than mac and cheese?
Like pretty much everyone I loooove mac and cheese and almost every time I make some I try to spice up my classic recipe by adding vegetables, proteins and/or spices.
