A few days ago I bought some really good peaches and I used some of them for a fruit salad. What could I do with the other peaches? I thought it could be a good idea to use it to cook some pork (I know that pork with apples is really good, so why not peaches?). This is a cooking experiment that I made with what I found in my fridge (today I did not want to go to the supermarket, so I had to use my creativity). Read more »

I like to go to an Indian restaurant every once in a while. It is a very different cuisine from the Italian one but some dishes are really good. Plus, my brother likes to go there, so I wanted to learn how to cook one of my favorite Indian dishes: Butter Chicken. It is made of pieces of chicken mixed with a light orange cream/soup (I do not know why it is called so, but there is not a lot of butter in it. May be because the texture is very creamy.

“Torcetti piemontesi” are Italian cookies similar to breadsticks (but covered with sugar). They come from Piemonte, a region (county) of Italy. Their shape is similar to a close “U” and they are very crunchy. I really like them! Here is the recipe. Read more »
