The weather is terrible here. So much rain, everything so gray it’s almost depressing. Almost, I said, because there’s just no better way to spend a rainy, gloomy day than being cooped up inside my little kitchen, cooking up a storm. Ok, so maybe curled up in a warm bed with lots of sleazy magazines to read and cookies to eat, but I kinda forgot what that was like ever since my…
In the category ‘fun with leftovers’ (oh wait, I don’t have that category) here’s a novel idea – make potato crepes! It’s my absolute favorite way to transform yesterday’s mashed potatoes into today’s new experience. They’ll turn out real fluffy and velvety.

They’re also one of my favorite things to cook because of their versatility and endless…

There’s the classic Croque Monsieur -grilled ham & cheese sandwich topped with bechamel- and you have the Croque Madame -grilled ham & cheese sandwich topped with a fried egg. These are both brilliant, but just too heavy for a snack. My recipe is derived from these…
There are so many burgers out there, it’s amazing. Just google it, the list is endless. Every one claims the best burger. I don’t. I think ‘the best burger’ simply doesn’t exist. It’s all subjective, it varies from country to country, region to region or is simply what you grew up with. Some people like it simple and basic—good quality meat, a little salt and pepper and maybe a…
