The pumpkin risotto that I never thought I would cook
I never feel the urge to cook risotto. Never. And I especially never feel the urge to eat risotto.

Mussels with chorizo, saffron and tomato… so very simple
Mussels can be simple as fuck and really impressive and sometimes, so can this ol’ blog. Watch this… Mussels are a light bulb moment. There is a picture of a bowl of mussels with a side of crusty bread in the dictionary right next to the definition of the phrase “light bulb moment” (please don’t…
