Sour, bitter, sweet, salty... In few days the French school where my son attends will organize the 'Days of Taste' (Journées du Goût).

Almond Butter Cookies With Dark Chocolate Chunks & Hazelnuts
Last weekend I had a sudden craving for cookies. Probably because of the first snow fall in Southern Finland, that just makes me want to curl on the sofa, with a hot cup of tea and biscuits. Generous chunks of dark chocolate and chopped hazelnuts came to my thoughts, as I was in the kitchen collecting the ingredients for my cookies. ...
Easy Sweet Potato Gnocchi With Kale, Sage And Walnut
Sweet potato gnocchi is one of my top comfort food. Until recently, I had never attempted homemade gnocchi. I imagined it would be a long and complex process.
