fresh main whether
The main distinction for fresh chillies is whether they are red or green, the difference being one of ripeness.
birthday cake numbers
For me, the end of childhood came when the number of candles on my birthday cake no longer reflected my age, around 19 or 20. From then on, each candle came to represent an entire decade.
sweet juicy breakfast
Breakfast is always the best time for something juicy, sweet and fresh - it just feels like the right way to open the day. There's no right way, though, when it comes to choosing the fruit.
italian television way
Pizza was made for television in so many ways: it is easy to heat up, easy to divide and easy to eat in a group. It is easy to enjoy, easy to digest and easy-going. It is so Italian!
choices division vegetarian
You can be vegetarian and eat fish. Its your choice, just say: I am what I am. There are no hardcore divisions anymore.
pasta cheese one-thing
Pasta with melted cheese is the one thing I could eat over and over again.
hands machines pasta
You dont need a machine to make pasta: a rolling pin and a fast hand can create a smooth, if thick, sheet.

Some heat, some spice and plenty of citrus are the building blocks of many North African fish dishes.
people cooking way
The way to entice people into cooking is to cook delicious things.

Date syrup is a natural sweetener that has wonderful richness and treacly depth; I drizzle it over semolina porridge.
home thinking years
It is more than twenty years since we left the city. This is a serious chunk of time, longer than the years we spent living there. Yet we still think of Jerusalem as our home. Not home in the sense of the place that you conduct your daily life or constantly return to. In fact, Jerusalem is our home almost against our wills. It is our home because it defines us, whether we like it or not.
cooking breakfast brunch
Brunch, for me, is an extended breakfast that should be enjoyed whenever you have time properly to engage in cooking and eating.
winter oil juice
The combination of olive oil, garlic and lemon juice lifts the spirits in winter.
mother food people
Mothers and grandmothers: these are the people that I admire most, not so much chefs.
