Hai mai pensato di cenare al buio?

Per buio, intend buio pesto. Non e` come chiudere le luci quando si e` in cucina, che alla fine un modo per trovare quello che stiamo cercando si trova. Parlo di entrare in una stanza che non hai mai visto prima e farti guidare da un cameriere non vedente. Ne parlavo con un collega, parlavamo […]

Olive oil tasting: Antichi Frantoi Francescani Extra Virgin Olive Oil

I have to say that I usually spend my Saturdays “tasting” wines. This Saturday, though, I reached a whole new level: an olive oil tasting, thanks to a Sfoodle giveaway! Sfoodle is the “marketplace for slow food”. They are all about bringing artisan food products to the public, focusing on small producers and sustainable ingredients. They […]

Londonicious #9 – The Hope in Peckham

Londonicious #3: Sappho Meze Bar.

Last week my friend and I decided to go out for dinner cause his mom was around, so we thought it was the perfect occasion for some food and chats. We weren’t sure about where to go and then finally he had an idea: Sappho Meze Bar. I had never heard the word “Meze” before […]
