Gifts from the kitchen - Cookbook no.2
January 28th, 2011

I know, I know, it’s a tease and a bit unfair to show you a preview of our upcoming book in light of the fact that it’ll be only published and available in German language, for now. Well, for now! But keep your fingers crossed (pretty please) and in return I will keep you posted on what’s happening on the overall licensing front (English, French, Spanish translation, other languages?).

Fill me with joy - Homemade Cappelletti with ricotta & pine nuts
January 13th, 2011

There’s one thing I really can’t imagine living without: my glorious carbs. You could cut me off from meat and even chocolate (at least for a couple of weeks), but I can’t think of a week without any pasta, bread or potatoes. I just can’t. OK, maybe I could, but it would make me testy very, very sad!

As much as I had anticipated some christmas baking frenzy, sometimes a cookies-to-bake-list has to be put on ice – pun intended – for a couple of days.

Cookbook no.2: Done, done & done!
November 23rd, 2010

Writing a cookbook sometimes feels like living in a parallel universe, my usual daily routine got reduces to what looked like planet earth from outer space. Luckily, there is light at the end of the tunnel. Now that we are (almost) finished, I keep asking myself where the last months went and what actually happened in the world outside my office (and kitchen) and Coco’s studio.

Almond croissants - A very special breakfast treat
October 27th, 2010

Time flies when you’re having fun – or editing a cookbook, or both. I know, it’s been a while, but since multi-tasking is not my greatest strength (there, I said it!), I had to cut back somewhere. Apologies to you, my beloved blog and to you, my dear readers. But if this little time-out pays off in a beautiful cookbook, you won’t hold grudges, no? And my recipe box is almost bursting with fabulous ideas I can’t wait to share with you in the near future!
