Summery Lunch

Spelt Focaccia with Tomato Salsa

You gotta make this! It's a feast for your taste buds... warm bread just out of the oven with a mediterranean, refreshing tomato salsa!

A light summer lunch for a searing hot day - combine with a home made iced tea and a watermelon to finish.

Posh Breakfast @ DuoMo Hotel

DuoMo Hotel Rimini Italy

That's my "first" breakfast course...

Tomato Tomato

Look! Aren't they cute?? I finally found those old varieties of tomatoes finally also in Italy. I knew that they were sold in Austria, but never had the chance to get them! You can make the most beautiful tomato salad with those different coloured and shaped, very sweet tomatoes!

All About Fruit

Assassino fruit bar, Rimini

Not many cakes lately, hm? - You're gonna ask. No, not really - I'll answer. After Easter and some weeks of simply eating  too much, I cut back a bit now. Well, ya know, the beach....
So, instead of cakes and cream, I'll have more fruit and salad. Now it's really the best time of the year, the fruit and vegetable markets are more than full with loads of varieties, but unfortunately my favourite fruit, my beloved STRAWBERRY, is already gone for the year.
Even for my sister's visit I didn't make a cake, but a summer fruit salad. Believe me, Italian fruits are so much better than the Austrian ones. The sun really makes a difference!

Just said no cakes, right? Come on, did you think I made it without at least ONE Strawberry Cake?? ;-))

Summer Preserves

Apricot jam

All fruit is now available in excess, so it's about time to fill up the storage for those cold and dark months of the year!

Saturday Fish Dinner

"When somebody offers you a fish dinner you mustn't decline it."

Seven Years

7 years already passed since the beer drinking competition between the language schools, where ISE almost won with me drinking several pints!
After the competition (feeling sufficiently merry - both of us) and with the help of a dear friend, Mr A took all his courage and asked if me I wanted to be his girlfriend. Well - you know the rest!
We celebrate this special day usually with our yearly visit to Sol y Mar - a very fantastic beach restaurant serving posh fish dishes and desserts out of this world (last year for example: Parmesan Ice Cream!)

Food Heaven aka Morocco

Thanks to our new friends, we had some really TOP culinary experiences during our 4 day trip to Morocco (Fez). All the fruits and vegetables are sooo good there... the African sun makes the difference! Have you ever tried an Avocado milkshake? I just can say wow! Those people really know how to eat and indulge!
