I’m still in a bready mood. I had wonderful sticky buns, pesto filled ciabatta and a pain au chocolat at simply bread with an iced latte and an ice chocolate. I made this wonderful Kaiser rolls about 3 weeks ago. I couldn’t estimate the size though so this came out rather big. And I didn’t [...]

Weekends are the only times I can tackle serious baking. Still in a bready mood, I was inspired to make bread that I knew H would enjoy. These are reminiscent of Lebanese bread that he loves with hummus. I was also fascinated by the concept of cooking bread in the highest possible temperature [...]

We stumbled upon a wonderful gourmet shop while near Serene Centre, La gastronomia. H fell in love with the olive and sun dried tomato foccacia. He couldn’t get his hands off it, and I managed to catch a shot while it was on my lap in the car. Yes, H couldn’t wait for it to [...]
