While I surely love food, cooking and baking, I also like telling stories. In this section, you can find a collection of #foodstories that I wrote over the years since that Fat Tuesday in Sweden, when I decided to start a foodblog to tell my culinary adventures as an Erasmus exchange student. And later on, of my life as an expat.
10 JAAR IN NEDERLAND
Who would have imagined that on 12 May 2015, when I arrived in Tulip Land (and made myself that veggie cous cous), I’d be still here 10 years later?An adventure that was supposed to last the length of a 3-year PhD trajectory and instead turned out to be a long part of my life, almost…
COMPLEANNO ITALIANO 3.0
It’s another year around the sun, and again, like in the past two years, I get to celebrate it back in Bel Paese. As I was sharing a couple of years ago, I haven’t had the chance to travel back home for my birthday for a long time. Back in 2023, I finally had the…
AFTER 10, BACK TO 1!
Who needs 11 when you can just restart? Year 1 (but with 10 years of experience)!

As I already mentioned last…
ANOTHER FAT TUESDAY IN TULIPLAND
And it’s 11 years of Carnival bakes! Time flies, but traditions last, like the one of spending some time over the Carnival weekend to bake some Carnival treats. And it has become also a tradition, this is the third year now, that my companion in these bakes is my sweet tooth Nederlander. I know last year…
10-YEAR MILESTONE: HAPPY BDAY AROMA DI CANNELLA!
And it’s 10 years around the Sun. Officially, yesterday. Who knew, back in 2014, during that afternoon in Sweden, when I was drafting the first post of this blog that, 10 years forward in the future, I’d still be here, physically in another country, writing these food pages. What can I say? It has been…
10 YEARS OF FAT TUESDAY BAKES
And it’s 10 years of Carnival bakes! As first post of this milestone year 2024, I can’t believe how long it has been since that Fat Tuesday baking afternoon I spent in Sweden during my Erasmus exchange program as a sociology Master student. If you have been following me a little bit in the past…
