Types of pizza
I learned that New Yorkers are obsessed with ‘their’ pizza and nothing beats those big juicy slices of pie. After its invention in the 18th century in Naples (Italy), the pizza has spread worldwide and styles changed to adapt to different regions and tastes. If you include the variety of toppings, spices, herbs, ingredients, dough…

Strong willed
When it’s a Monday morning and you resist buying everything on display and instead just get a coffee. I call this willpower 2.0 😃 Have a great week everyone!

Popcorn
If you followed me in San Francisco, you know that I like to go to the movies and enjoy a big tub of popcorn. Having some trouble getting used to the buttery, salty stuff you get in the US, I’m always trying to find a sweet option. Which is difficult in itself as most sweet…

Berliner Currywurst
Is so tasty! I could end this post with this statement only and encourage you to visit Berlin and try for yourself. But let me give you some fun facts as well. 1. There are heated discussions about who invented the dish and makes the tastiest version: Berlin vs. Hamburg vs. The Ruhr area. You…

Sunday treats
Found this cute little bakery with a limited range of goods and everything that I’ve tried so far tastes really good. The pastries, cookies and cakes are incredibly flavourful without being too sweet (which in the US is hard to find). And the bread I tried came fresh out of the oven and tasted heavenly.…

NYC Farmer’s Markets
Are basically non existent (if a New Yorker reads this, please convince me otherwise)!

I knew it wouldn’t be the same…

Pancakes

Sunday Brunch
One thing New Yorkers apparently love to do is going for long and boozy brunches on the weekend. So I thought today is ideal to join in on the fun. Warm, sunny and the Sunday before the bank holiday, it was the perfect day for a rooftop terrace, a chilled glass of Rosé and an…

Focaccia to the rescue
The whole day I have been thinking that it is Friday- the last day of the work week which felt like a work month compressed into a few days. Just to notice on my way home from work that I still have one more day to go. This definetly calls for some comfort food in…

Lunchtime
When your lunch didn’t satisfy you, you can always dream about pizza 🍕 I’ve had a few New York style pizza slices since I moved here, but this one is memorable – not just because it was my first one, but also since it’s been the most delicious so far! But what is this famous…
