Well, would you look at this post title? Some of my favourite words ever, all together: pesto, bacon & fried egg sandwich. I could really write (and eat) this all day. And actually, I did, I spent a whole day this summer having this for breakfast, lunch and dinner. It’s that good (and that easy). [READ MORE]
When summer approaches and along with it come all the beautiful seasonal fruit, peaches somehow escape me at first. I go crazy over strawberries, blueberries, blackberries and raspberries; I’m smitten with nectarines and then, in the middle of said love affairs, I see peaches. And every time, I just can’t explain why the escape me- especially the small, flat ones. They are so cute and pretty and aromatic, I want to grab all of them, take them home, look at them for a few days and then play with their soft, pink skin. Are you with me? [READ MORE]
Last week I shared my 5 steps for a peaceful, easy breezy morning. They involve waking up smoothy after a good night’s sleep, warm lemony water, taking your time, hopefully squeezing in some sort of exercise and, most importantly, making time for a quick yet delicious and nutritious breakfast.

I think I first came across the photo of a Dutch baby on Pinterest and was instantly smitten. I mean, what’s not to love? A giant pancake, perfectly puffed, perfectly golden brown, perfectly dusted with icing sugar. It really was love at first sight. The following day, I had my first go at that beautiful XL pancake and fell deeply, madly in love. I haven’t stopped making them since and our love affair grows stronger every time. [READ MORE]
I’m gonna be go super hip and on trend today with this spinach, avocado & maple smoothie bowl. I mean, smoothie bowls are all the rage right now and knowing my love of all things breakfast, they could not escape my hungry radar. [READ MORE]
Every time I’m reunited with my sister, there are certain things that always take place (almost in this specific order): we hug and kiss (dramatically, on my part- Alkyoni is way cooler than me to gasp and whisper sweet nothings to my ear); we exchange gifts, have our first coffee and gossip enthusiastically. And then, on to the main course, our first brawl. It’s loud, usually for a dumb reason and it escalates quickly. And then, like ten minutes later, we’ve apologised to each other, made up and are swiftly moving on to what really matters: food. [READ MORE]
Happy happy new year! It feels so good to be back, after about ten days spent in utter holiday bliss: lots of delicious food and good wine shared with dear friends, lots of naps, lazy walks around sunny London, many films and cheesy Christmas songs playing on repeat almost all day round.

If you’re anything like me, you’re still not done with your Christmas shopping, still going for last minute runs to the stores (oh how I loathe all the stores around Christmas time!) or the post office (seriously, the worst). If you’re like me, you’re still trying to find the perfect extra to the gift you’ve already bought, or come up with an idea for Secret Santa, one that’s cool enough, yet not pretentious, funny, but not overly ridiculous.

It’s been a little over week since I’ve been back and I’m still struggling. I’m not worried though- it’s only part of my usual back-to-school drama, which I live out to the fullest, with frequent outbursts, cursing on the weather, the traffic, the boots and layers I now have to live in and everything else, really.

Let’s start this week on a wholesome, delicious and kinda sweet tone, shall we? Let’s start with some TLC, some gentle love for ourselves and for others. Let’s start with familiar, comforting, good-for-you, hitting-all-the-right-notes ingredients. Let’s start with breakfast. [READ MORE]
