a tiny idea for midnight munchies - home made ice cream. voila!



flavours present:

- valhorna 70% chocolate and mexican chilli sprinkled with sea salt,
- tart cherries and wild peppermint;
- lemon, lime & corriander

flavour not present due to not having made it as far as till midnight:

- aceto balsamico & blanched crushed walnuts

there actually is a secret to making ice cream in a simple way, but normally these require a lot of patience or a lot of investment (ice cream makers can be reeeealy pricey bastards!)

Bon appetit!

a random brunch

after waking up at 7am, I finally give in to hunger around 1pm...




full english with mediterranean twist:
- scrambled eggs, very slowly cooked on butter in a small thick-bottom saucepan, then finished with a touch of single cream; 
- haloumi cheese grilled with extra virgin olive oil and rosemary;
- fried back bacon;
- sesame oil toasts;
- shaved parmesan, plum tomatoes, fresh basil, sea salt, crushed brazilian peppercorns.

= HEAVEN!

Bon appetit!
