( In Farsi)

I think everyone has a potato pancake recipe. Is one of those recipes were you can find it anywhere, any country has a recipe for it; mixing it with different types of spices or ingredients. My recipe is very similar to the latkes which are traditionally eaten by Jews during Hanukkah. It's very easy to prepare and very easy to eat!! I'm kidding. They're super delicious. You can serve them alone, or with meat, vegetable, different types of salsa or cheese. enjoy x

Lasagne is a perfect meal. A meal which needs time, work and effort; but it's not that you should always go trough preparing it all by yourself. It's one of those recipes that you can prepare while you are chatting with a friend in the kitchen and drinking wine! You can ask anyone to help, from making the pasta to rolling it, while one can check the bolognese sauce you can prepare the besciamella (white sauce)...

These days I am going to switch to some classic Italian dishes because I mostly eat them during winter; the reason is that they contain different types of meat, cream and also pasta! Yes a bit heavy! Probably, if you say this to an Italian, he/she will laugh at your face! Pasta?! Heavy!? Impossible! Well, the good thing is it doesn not matter cause it's winter time and most of all christmas time, so we have the excuse to eat some heavy cheesy meaty creamy stuff anyway! Right?

December is here, but still no snow and no cold cold winter in northern Italy! Weather is divided in rainy days and cold sunny days! That's it, even if the season is changing in a very strange way; but fortunately we still have seasonal ingredients, like oranges and carrots. While I was out buying them, I took some pictures of my new neighborhood to show you how it is here...
