Radish lovers!

If you really want to enjoy the taste of radishes - less is more.

In order to get rid of earth taste - rub them with salt - wash them,
and add coarse salt as much as you like.

Ingredients:

- radish
- coarse salt (Maldon salt if you find it)

happy new year!!!

hope 2012 will be a great one! :)

There was this boat in Paris. Where every moment felt magical.

I didn't expect anything from this trip, but those trips are the best.

Jordan and Emilija, Alex and Paul. We were a strange combination. And our many guests.

One night, Paul taught us how to eat whole artichokes.

This is the recipe, a bit different maybe.

Enjoy! eat with your fingers :)

These are my mum's favourite cookies!

Please be careful about baking them - as soon as they get light brown - they are done!

(maybe it will be less than 30 minutes)

Sorry about not posting, I got very busy...

Hello :)

I am posting this recipe a little early, because I just made this dish tonight, for dinner!

Oh, I forgot to take a photo, I was too hungry.

This dish is amazing because you use the chicken to make the soup, and use the same chicken to make fried rice. Fried rice + soup is a popular combination in Japanese restaurants.

If you like eggs, you can make a scrambled egg, or make a thin egg pancake - and cut it in strings, and decorate the rice.

I am adding vodka because SAKE is expensive in London, but using Japanese sake or shochu will make this dish even better. My mum taught me that vodka is the best substitute for sake in cooking. If you don't have vodka, use white wine.

ENJOY :)

Love,

Irena

I wanted to eat aubergine the other day, and created this recipe for the best pasta sauce ever :)

Tip: do not rush - cook the aubergine veeeery slowly with lots of love!
