evening mood in my kitchen...

Here's "how to". I loved this video!

I salted with flakes of Sal de Ibiza con Chili

east london street art

Last time I went to London, I stayed in the heart of Shoreditch. It must be one of my favourite places because the streets are so rich in beautiful and interesting art, and the atmosphere is laid back and effortless in contrast to some other areas of the city. I could not walk past without taking a few pictures... after all London streets are famous for being canvas for artists like Roa, Eine, Stik and Banksy.

hot beverages #2: water with a slice of lemon

When I could convince myself to skip the early morning expresso and enter the kitchen determined to make it a day of healthy choices, this is it.

hot beverages #1: kusmi teas

This past Saturday I had friends over  for a kusmi tea tasting. It felt like the ideal way to spend a cold winter afternoon. And here's our evaluation for you:

kusmi tea "love": India, Christmas, cloves, CARDAMOM, warming, oriental, more a winterlove  than a summerlove,  a most elegant chai

kusmi tea "euphoria":  CHOCOLATE with only a hint of orange, it's filling and comforting, perfect for a cosy evening on the sofa, my favourite, good to drink when craving sweets, dark and strong, a"diet" hot chocolate

kusmi tea "detox": refreshing, cool, LEMONGRASS, a summer drink

kusmi tea "algothé": oceanic, MINTY, healthy
