It Could Be A Roof Garden….

…I could just pretend it’s my roof garden, only for today! 😉

Spring is back!

Spring is back and I am so grateful! Today I took a regenerating walk in my parent’s garden. The weather wasn’t great but the colours were simply astonishing! I had to share this, I hope you enjoy the gallery.

From an Ice Cream Point of View

Today we were in Genova Nervi, enjoying an amazing Affogato al Cioccolato.

Taking a Break

Yesterday, a friend and I decided to take a break. We had lunch at a nice coffee shop and walked for a couple of hours.  Sometimes you just have to take a walk to clear your mind, relax and recharge your energy….

Yes, this was the view! 🙂

Do you have a favourite place when you feel like to take a break?

My Grandmother’s Pasta Machine

I still remember the aroma of home-made tortellini coming from my grandmother’s kitchen, at my grandparents’  apartment, which is where I live now. The texture is different from any pasta I have ever eaten since then. The pasta was thicker, not very smooth and would melt in the mouth easily, unleashing a feast of comforting flavours. The meat in the filling was lean but very tasty and the broth, in which the tortellini were served, was very warm and intense.

The aroma would remain in the apartment for hours after the meal. I can still clearly smell it now, in my memories.

Today, I am using the same kitchen, the same sink (an old-fashioned genoese marble model with all the stains) and the same pasta machine that was used by my grandmother to prepare her “famous” home-made tortellini…

In Search of True Nature

Wild plants offer an impressive variety of shapes and colours. After a rainy day, everything seems to be even more intense and overwhelming…

And it’s free!
