When I started researching after booking our Paris tickets, I thought of what I really wanted to eat while there. The first thing that came to mind was steak frites. From my early years, we often had steak with béarnaise sauce and some kind of potato sidedish for weekend dinners cooked by my mum. I… Continue reading Dinner at Bistrot Paul Bert in Paris

Chez Minnà Corsican restaurant in Paris
Since we were arriving Paris quite late, in fact we both worked until Friday afternoon and then took the Arlanda Express airport train before boarding a SAS flight for Paris, we opted for dinner at a restaurant close to our hotel. Fortunately most of the restaurants around our hotel, Hotel L’Echiquier Opéra Paris MGallery by… Continue reading Chez Minnà Corsican restaurant in Paris
Great Napoli style pizza in Stockholm at Meno Male
Recently, several Naples or Napoli style pizza restaurants have opened in Stockholm, which for me is great, since I love the chewy dough of these fast baked wonders. The other day I tried Meno Male for a decadent office pizza lunch (via delivery). I had their pizza with spicy salami, fior di latte (sort of… Continue reading Great Napoli style pizza in Stockholm at Meno Male
Dinner at Mosebacke Etablissement (Södra Teaterns Restaurang) in Stockholm
I recently visited Mosebacke Etablissement, the restaurant of entertainment venue Södra Teatern, situated at Mosebacke Torg on (or more like on top of) Södermalm in Stockholm. The restaurant has a new menu that I was invited to try (eg. the meal was paid for by the restaurant).

Canary Islands part two: Palm Oasis Maspalomas Hotel
After our first two days in Playa del Inglés, we managed to make a last minute booking for the Palm Oasis Maspalomas. Their cheaper studio apartments were sold out, but instead we secured a 70 sqm apartment for about €120 a night, which I found very affordable given the hotel’s ratings, the apartment’s size and… Continue reading Canary Islands part two: Palm Oasis Maspalomas Hotel

Recipe for perfect spaghetti cacio e pepe
One of my favourite pasta dishes (okay I admit that most pasta related dishes are my favourites) is the simple yet delicious Roman dish’cacio e pepe’. Cacio e pepe means cheese and pepper, and that is pretty much the dish, with the addition of spaghetti and a splash of cooking liquid. Despite being a quite… Continue reading Recipe for perfect spaghetti cacio e pepe
Recipe for homemade truffled spaghetti carbonara
The other day I went to have dinner at one of my favourite restaurants in Stockholm; Urban Deli. There, I found that they sold fresh Gotlandic autumn truffles. The lady working the deli part of Urban Deli kindly allowed me to have a sniff before I decided to go ahead and buy the tiny but… Continue reading Recipe for homemade truffled spaghetti carbonara
