Tasty food, comfort food and of course chocolate are definitely my favourite things. I always marvel at what fresh igredients and people's creativity in the kitchen can do!

  • Not summer here. Still when the sun dares to shine grilled fish is always a party at my house. Fresh vegetables on the side or boiled potatoes and some greens - broccoli, for instance.

  • One of my favourite #desserts. I sometimes add sultanas, currants or raisins (I prefer seedless dried grapes, to be honest) and some walnuts to the mix.

    Served with a generous spoon of cool whipped cream or a nice serving of vanilla ice cream… on a drizzly cloudy day…

    Heaven!

  • Home-made seafood rice

    Feast your eyes on this tasty home-made Mediterranean dish.

    Today’s lunch…

    Healthy, delicious and spiced up with a tiny chili pepper - no seeds this time, to better taste the prawns, the cockles and everything else in this..

    The rice was just right and so was the soupy sauce.

  • Spaghetti Carbonara: Chef Rhode’s way and my way

    Speaking of home-made carbonara, here’s how some chefs do it…

    I loved the look of Gary Rhodes’ Spaghetti Carbonara, but I have to confess I sometimes improvise.

    When I don’t have the time I simply go for some sausages or bacon and sautĂ© them. Add some sliced mushrooms (fresh or out of can… whatever is possible at the time…) and let them incorporate the bacon or sausages juices.

    Then add some cream and an egg, mix it all quickly, pour the mix on top of my pasta and add the grated parmigiano.

    Sprinkle everything with some aromatic herbs - gluttony is also in the eyes of the food lover…

    Mandatory complement: a Douro red or a stupidly cold Vinho Verde (naturally sparkling Minho region white wine)… Both excellent choices from Portugal’s rich wine choices…
