Zucchini Linguine
Today I’m sharing a dearest friend’s recipe. One of those dishes you try at somebody’s place, adopt, and each time you make it, you think of your friend. I’m thinking a lot about Sanja these days. She used to be an editor in a food magazine that I loved a lot and shared lots of...

Catalan Chickpeas

Chicken Tikka Masala
I just love this dish! The spiciness, hotness, and most of all, I love cumin. Over the years, I’ve tried many recipes, but recently adopted the one based on this recipe. It’s fast and simple to prepare if you don’t have time to grill the meat, and the result is sensational.
