Simple recipe I cook from time to time when I don’t have much time. It is really easy to cook and tastes just great, a classic Italian / Mediterranean Style dish, perfect for a summer evening. You can serve it as main dish but also as part of a bigger menu. Goes great with rice, couscous or a salad.

If you are into cooking, like I am, you know that you need a darn good knife. Today I bought me a new one. A big one If you take a closer look at the blade, you see a nice pattern. This is Damascene Steel. Love it! The knob is made of wood. Feels really nice and heavy in hand. Really looking forward to use it this evening. Have a bison and a kangaroo steak in the fridge

Right across the street at the harbor of Dinan is a little garden where we sat down for a while, enjoyed the sunshine[...]

This is one of those recipes that are not planned this way. I wanted to bake a cake. Well, my friend told me that I wanted to bake a cake. So I said yes before checking the shelves if I had all the ingredients. On Sunday, I started and soon realized that I neither had baking powder nor yeast. Great. But fortunately we are not living in the middle ages anymore and there is wireless internet in the kitchen. So[...]

The Cap Fréhel is situated near the town of Matignon and is the most stunning cliff in this part of Brittany (Haute Bretagne) and therefore extremely popular amongst both tourists and locals on a sunny day and over the weekened. You have the possibility to go there by boat from Saint Malo or simply drive up to the Cap by car. Parking cost 2 Euros, so rather reasonable and in the end nothing is for free
