Aioli: homemade garlic mayonnaise
We had a tapas evening with friends to celebrate to New Years. It was a great success – actually I must admit that it was much better than expected even. Pretty much everything put on the table was great. And I found a couple more recipes which I must steal and put up here some […]
Buckwheat and Cheddar Blinis
Buckwheat is a strange thing. If you’re not Celiac it’s very likely that you’ve never tried it before. And to us? Well, it’s our version of rye. It basically the only dark, fibrous grain we can eat.
