Experimenting with stuff I have in my fridge, I usually get very interesting and affordable meals, such as the cabbage and carrots salad I recently (re)discovered. While I’ve seen something like this in many restaurants, it’s never as simple and tasty as my own.

The salad basically consists of cabbage and carrots, it’s… Continue reading →

It combines… Continue reading →

A Venetian fortress overlooks the town and the nearby Valtos beach from a hill that… Continue reading →
