Nespresso Prodigio launch event, London

Nespresso Prodigio launch event, London

You are being watched… A.I. is a little scary. I am addicted to US TV drama Person of Interest and while loving my iPhone and iPad I never got an iWatch and discarded my Fit Bit as soon as I reached my desired weight, bored of tracking every little morsel of food I ate and any steps I took.

Taste of London 2015 – as a cook, as a guest

Taste of London 2015 – as a cook, as a guest

On the other hand, being a traditional Neapolitan I do not have a Nespresso machine, preferring the more old fashion moka, but since plenty of my friends…

Cooking club: ‘Ndjua recipes

Cooking club: ‘Ndjua recipes

It’s ‘ndh-yah’ not ‘ndugia’ My sauce Despite having been quite active on Twitter and having been blogging (and blagging) for a year or so now, I had not yet had a chance to try out a cooking club. It was with delight then that I accepted London Foodie’s invitation to join in the ‘Nduja Cooking Club on October 23rd.   ‘Ndjua seems to be the latest craze here in London, with bloggers, foodies, chefs and the likes raving about it…
