This blog isn’t called Diary of a Chocaholic for nothin’. I love the thing, could eat it every day (and kinda do…). Since I was a teenager and first discovered brownies at my local Casino shop, I’ve been addicted to the stuff. However, I’d never tried to do one myself. I’m really good at chocolate … Continue reading
I really like cookies. In France or Germany, I only knew them as hard and crumbly. Maybe even dry. In England (a gift from the US), they’re mostly soft and chewy. However, I recently bought some from Sainsbury’s and nearly had a heart attack when I read how many calories they had (almost 212 per … Continue reading
I love movies about cooking. From Ratatouille to The 100 Foot Journey, if they’ve made it, I’ve probably seen it. I love watching them prepare dishes, find themselves and eat. And the food always looks so good. Chef is a great movie. I watched the trailer ages ago, but then when the time came, the … Continue reading
I love chocolate. Not all kinds, because I really dislike white and dark chocolate, as well as odd things like yoghurt, coffee or fruit, but most of it. Favourite brands include Kinder, Milka, Merci, Ritter Sport, Thornton’s, Lindt, Galaxy… I have to stop here. Anyhoo, apart from chocolate cake (which I’ve shown you how to … Continue reading
In the past decade, food-related movies have sprouted (see what I did there?) every few of years or so, each making you salivate more than the last. You only have to remember dribbling in front of Chocolat, Simply Irresistible, Julie and Julia, Ratatouille, No Reservations, Chef etc. The French (obviously) have their own string of … Continue reading
I love quiche. There are so many different versions, with vegetables or fish, but the classic is still my favourite: quiche Lorraine. Thanks to Wikipedia, I now know that: “The word “quiche” comes from French, which ultimately borrowed the word from Lorraine Franconian “Küeche” (meaning “cake”). Central Franconian typically unrounded the “ü” [y] and shifted … Continue reading
Every now and then, I love myself a nice little risotto. And since the other day it was my turn to cook for our weekly movie nights, I decided to go for a recipe that’s really easy (too easy) and that requires very little effort. Ingredients: (for 6 people) risotto rice (I prefer Arborio), measure … Continue reading
One of my friends had her birthday the other day, and I asked her if she’d like a cake. When she said yes, I was dreading what kind she’d like, because there’s only so many I’ve been known to do well, but thankfully she said ‘Marble cake’ and that was something I’d already done before. … Continue reading
To celebrate my 25th, I’ve decided to make a chocolate cake. Now I have this awesome recipe for chocolate fondant cake which I’ll share with you another day, but this time I wanted something that I could more easily distribute between friends, and take leftovers to work. I’ve done this type of cake before using … Continue reading
As a half Spaniard, I should be expected to cook as such too. Except that I don’t, really. Give me Chorizo and Jamón Serrano any day, and I’ll eat it like a native. But making a tortilla, or croquetas or paella? I haven’t quite been ready yet. But hey, never one to waste an occasion … Continue reading
