As we are about to enter the fourth month of lockdown, with infection numbers still not under control and a nationwide vaccination campaign stuttering along, I feel very little enthusiasm for posting much travel content. About time for a sourdough bread for non-bakers. Instead of …
More Wine Touring! More organic French wine that you won’t find in your bio shop! Last year, I visited some organic vineyards in the Gaillac wine region of South-Western France. When we finally managed to see my parents in law this year, we did not …
Here is my version of an easy pasta alla Norma that you can cook in under 30 minutes. My way to make my Sicily holiday last longer. Or put it on repeat a couple days a week! A real Sicilian classic Pasta alla Norma is …
My Shopping in Sicily post will be relatively short. But it’s not to say there aren’t many wonderful things you can bring home from Sicily. Despite the dreaded virus, I finally managed a weeks holiday this year! We went to Sicily. And, as usually, I …
