Autumn is perfect for all kinds of stews. This one is a recipe from my mom, a Camarenga beef stew with a hint of orange.

Spaghetti carbonara with bacon lardons, parmesan and eggs, the most loved Italian pasta dish. Dinner’s ready in well under 30 minutes.

Purple gnocchi? Yes, they really are! Vitelotte is a French kind of potato and have kind of a nutty flavor.

Great flavors with this sour and salty side dish, iceberg lettuce quarters topped off with sour cream dressing and home-made garlic croutons.

Cute looking and great tasting mini quiches. 2 kinds of mini quiches, one for vegetarians and one for bacon lovers. Ready in half an hour.

Perfect picnic hamper food with a gutsy taste. Mushroom, smoky bacon & rosemary pasties. A twist on the traditional Maltese pastizzi.

Potato Rosti with Brie, Bacon, and Scallions, topped with a quick and easy Brown Butter Cinnamon Apple Sauce!
