Melanzane Alla Parmigiana
Melanzane Alla Parmigiana is definitely in my top 3 of Italian dishes: perfect comfort food. However, it’s a deceivingly simple recipe that is hard to nail.

Fennel Risotto with Chopped Pistachios
I found this recipe in the wine/food pairing section of the Gall & Gall magazine. Fennel risotto is very subtle and has a nice sweetish touch.

Mac ‘n Cheese with Black Beans and Chipotle (+Waffles)
I was feeling poorly the past week. Hay fever combined with a starting bronchitis is no fun at all. 🙁 Nothing to “nurse” you back to health as a good bowl of Mac ‘n Cheese, though.

Pesto alla Genovese (2 ways)
Once in a while, I will make a batch of pesto myself and when properly stored under a layer of oil (still need to explore the ice-cube mold in freezer method), it lasts us about 4-6 weeks. At most.

Around the World – Adelboden, Switzerland
We spent a week skiing in Adelboden, Berner Oberland, in the southwestern part of Switzerland. Close to the French and Italian borders, their cuisines are interlinked; so huge portions, loads of cheese, vast slabs of meats and dried meats 😉

Green Risotto with Mushrooms
I chose this recipe by J. Kenji López-Alt I found over at Serious Eats as it had an interesting take on how to cook risotto: it adds the stock in 2 batches instead of a ladle at the time.

White Chocolate Mousse with Cardamom Espuma and Clementine Sorbet
Making your own sorbet is – when you have an ice cream maker that is – very easy and now is the perfect season for clementines. Zesting and juicing the clementines and lemon made the house smell yummy too.
