Mermaid Latte | Your bright blue morning latte

8-3-2018

The Mermaid Latte mix by Nutra Organics is both a healthy and Instagrammable beverage. This Mermaid Latte mix is made from a combination of sea minerals, blue Spirulina, matcha blue butterfly pea flower, Manuka honey, adaptogenic herbs, like ashwaganda, Siberien Ginseng, liquorice and milk thistle and Ayurvedic chai spices, like ginger, cardamom, cinnamon, clove, star anise, cayenne powder and black pepper. According to Nutra Organics this latte doesn’t taste like sushi with all the sea ingredients, the taste must be like a spicier version of a chai latte. The powder can be used in all kinds of milks, like dairy, soy, almond or creamy coconut milk. read more

Pasta | From Donut alla Bolognese to spaghetti ice cream

21-2-2018

A year ago we ate at restaurant Contraste in Milan a truly delicious ‘Donut alla Bolognese’, a dish you won’t forget! The nice thing is that the dish puts you on the wrong track, only the resemblance in the   shape reminded me of a donut. You can do many things with pasta and in this article I have collected a number of examples. Now I have to admit that a number of ‘hip, trendy’ pasta dishes have been known for a long time, for example I used to make a ‘spaghetti alla Carbonara’- pie in my student days. And my student days have been behind me for several decades! On our Pinterest page we made an ‘Italian Inspiration’ wall with photos and videos of various trendy pasta dishes. What do you think of a ’30 feet long pasta strand’ or spaghetti served from a Parmigiano cheese wheel? Or spaghetti tacos, cupcakes or ‘rainbow spaghetti’? ^Marjolein read more

Cocktail Barbera Tonic | Carucci, il Chinato Italiano

8-11-2017

Greenflash Wine introduces a new cocktail in the Netherlands: Barbera Tonic. This tough mix originates in the Italian region Piemont. The basis of the traditionally made Chinato is the Barbera d’Asti D.O.C.G. The Barbera Chinato is a delicious aperitif drink, but really surprising ‘in the mix’ with tonic or ‘G&T’.
