Let me tell you something: I don’t get along with extreme hot weather. I’m usually very excited when summer is about to come but after some weeks of 30ºC humid weather, I avoid cooking in the oven, running after noon and, definitely, I can’t stand moisturizer body lotions. This is my first summer in Luxembourg … Continue reading
When I was a kid, I was very shy. It was difficult for me to make friends at school… I even preferred to spend time with grown ups at the other kids’ birthday parties! I never believed in Santa Claus or the Tooth Fairy. Yeap… I was preeeetty weird. However, there was a place where … Continue reading
As summer arrives, road-tripping time is also coming… Yeah! I looove to travel by car. You have your own space, your own music and your own schedule. I like flexibility.

I didn’t make hazelnut butter because I don’t find it fascinating enough and it’s too much work to peel … Continue reading

Last year I made for the first time a lemon curd and I truly loved it. The texture, the smooth taste and the bizarre look (it seems a bit translucent, but in fact, it isn’t) fascinated me. Recently, I decided to go for the orange curd. The truth is that I decided to make this … Continue reading
A few weeks ago, my mother gave me as a present a mini donut baking tray. Since then, I’ve been reading a little about donuts. I’ve never made them because I’m too lazy to fry anything… I guess that this is one of my mother’s legacies. Once you fry something, you have to have an … Continue reading
