I was treated to a great dinner - everything home made, even the olive bread
Someone's socks didn't match.
And the weather was just gorgeous.

Abóbora gostosa means delicious pumpkin in Portuguese, so you can find some recipes with pumpkin on this blog. Also other recipes, and a few other snippets that I like to share with you.
About Me
- Oleandri
- Cooking is a way of relaxing for me. Already as a kid I loved food. I had a sweet tooth and I started making desserts and baking all kinds of cakes, cookies, pies and pizza. I taught myself as my mother wasn’t very much into desserts. My grandfather was though, and we wrote to each other exchanging recipes. After his death my grandmother gave me his notebook with dessert recipes. Most of my mother’s family are real foodies and very good cooks. My cooking is not very sophisticated. I like to use good quality ingredients, preferably typical for the season and even better still, coming from someone’s garden. A few favourites are: pumpkin, sweet potato, Jerusalem artichoke, chestnuts, quince and also really basic ones like potatoes and onion. I like to make stews, broths and soups. I still bake occasionally, once in a while something spectacular for which the dough needs to rise for hours. My cooking bible is Claudia Roden’s ‘The book of Jewish food’, which is popular with my friends and family. It’s a neverending resource of recipes from all over the world, also with less common ingredients, and every dish just tastes delicious.
