Last Friday, my amazing girlfriends took me to Côte d’Azur for a very long, very relaxing, very fun weekend, which officially marks the beginning of our wedding festivities. Our four days spent in the gorgeous sun started with a long breakfast, continued with lazy sessions by the pool and carried on with visits to beautiful little villages, dinners in Cannes and Nice, too much wine, cheese, ice cream, giggling and beautiful conversation. I came back forever grateful and with a renewed appetite- hence this week’s Food for thought, which features food & drink links.

Who’s who in the glorious world of food.

And to pair said cheese, we’ll need lots of wine. Know your glasses.

Is a cone better than a cup? Yes, a thousand times yes!

My mom still uses coffee filters. Looking forward to trying a couple of these smart hacks.

There’s art, science and love in baking- or at least there should be. Check out these 10 tips.

Gluten free devotee or just curious? These restaurants are for you.

To finish things off sweet and nicely, the best summer appetizer: figs, ricotta, honey & lemon thyme. Boom!

* Nice in the afternoon sun.
