This is the second time I cooked quinoa. The first one was a lost quinoa, because I haven’t had the chance to taste it, since my hungry parents and sister gobbled everything up before I came back home!
Lost Quinoa
6 maggio 2009My office lunch
4 maggio 2009This is my today’s lunch in the office. My mum makes my pocket lunch every evening but yesterday I was feeling like having some sesame chicken and so I made my lunch myself, using the nicest tupperwares I had (pink, obviously!).
We have a microwave in the office, so at 1 o’ clock, after a rapid jump into the magic oven, my lunch is steaming and delicious as just made!
Wholemeal flour muffins with sun-dried tomato paste
30 aprile 2009They are very good, fragrant and with a lovely dried tomato flavour.They are best eaten the next day, cut in a half and spread with goat’s milk cheese and olives, philadelphia and chive, grilled eggplants and mozzarella… everything that softens the muffin, that becomes a kind of sandwich!
Pudim al caffè

Here you have a Portuguese pudim, from Tessa Kiros’s Piri piri starfish: Portugal found. A wonderful book, white and blue as Portuguese azulejos, with wonderful pictures, as in each and every Tessa Kiros’s book.
Maya’s Extra dark plum cake
23 aprile 2009
This is my wildest dream: eat as much as you want, scrumptious things, and be fit and thin as Gwynet Paltrow!
It is a dark plum cake, you can smell the chocolate as soon as you slice it. It’s a good comfort food, but light and easy to make. It is a perfect cake for the tea time. It is the extra dark plum cake found on Maya’s blog, Maya – L’Ape felice.
