Hey there! Today I’ve got another twist on a classic for you. This post will be about a lightened as well as spiced up version of a classic potato gratin. Usually potato gratin is a side dish being rather on the heavy side and normally eaten during the colder months. Although autumn is approaching…
Two Dips Eggplant and Pepper-Chickpea

Sweet Potato Gnocchi

Pepper Pasta
Hey there! And once again I am in Italy. This time however not on a school trip to explore an unknown place but rather on a trip to a place which basically feels like home to me. I have been returning to this one little medieval town in central Tuscany ever since I had…
