Sweet tooth
One of my favorite things to do during the holidays is arranging platers with sweets and cookies… Nuts and dried fruits… My father made this wooden carved tray, by the way. He is a retired carpenter. We were only 4 people for the holidays this year so the assortment was not huge. Some of the…

Fall cheesecake

I saw a video on Instagram where they used crumbled cake for making a no-bake cheesecake crust and I was inmediatelly sold. My version uses…

Summer harvest
As I’ve mentioned before I am from a very, very, very small village in the mountais of Spain, and that’s where I am spending this summer. Everyone, and I mean, everyone in the town has an orchard or vegetable garden, or both. In my family we have a few. Yesterday I took some pictures of…
