Today I am recovering after a very busy weekend. I was cooking and baking a lot just to put together one (ONE) dinner. Was it necessary? Probably not. Was it tasty? Oh yes! Did I enjoyed all the preparation and time I spent in the kitchen? Yes, for most of the time (my swollen ankles […]
This is the cake I prepared for my Thanksgiving dinner this year. I chose it mainly because of rosemary in the recipe. It sounded so intriguing for me, as I am not used to use it in desserts.
Besides, this recipe doesn’t require mixer and can be put together in 20 minutes […]
Yesterday was my first Thanksgiving that I actually cared for and prepared for. You must know that when one moves to a new country it takes a while to get used to new customs, holidays, and well, new culture. For me it always starts with this longish period of time when I try to […]

Perhaps some of you heard about this amazing class offered by Harvard. I will mention few things that make this class unique opportunity to learn from the best about something we all do and love (or just do, that’s fine too!). This class includes lectures from the top chefs that reveal their secrets and share […]
When I was writing the cucumber post in July I didn’t think it will be the last one before a long brake. As a matter of fact I was planning to be more active and bring some changes to What’s on the Plate. But then nausea hit me so hard I was not able to […]

This salad is very quick and […]
