It is almost impossible to cook with no carbs, no oil and no sugar in Asian recipes. That we discovered when my girlfriend Mel decided to put herself onto a diet that is absent of these 3 ingredients, for a whole 6 weeks under the […]

It was like a dream: St Petersburg’s Eliseyev Emporium is overflowing with delicious sweets, from candy to macarons, to savoury treats, but it was these sugar-spun apples, delicate like glass figurines that I could not pass up. We’ve only just returned from our Baltics trip […]

I’m not much of a musician, but I love mac and cheese so much that I’d write a song about it. Maybe that will be our next post, but today, we’re skipping the serenade and talking about something serious: Crimes Against Mac & Cheese, aka Mac […]
