• Celebrating Lucia, the bearer of light in the darkness of Winter

  

  In the darkness of the early hours in the new day, just before the dawn announcement, Lucia advances with silent steps followed by mellow choruses, in a procession of candles, which lights the cold Winter sky with swaying vivid flames. Lucia brings light and hope to humanity.

• A pink marguerites daisies bouquet to celebrate December 8th

  

  Last Spring, I enjoyed gardening and planted tiny delicate marguerites in the green terrace. They looked so pretty with their lively colors. At the beginning of the Autumn season, I moved them on the front street balcony in order to stay much longer in the sun during the day, while I could enjoy their bright…

• Home made potatoes gnocchi and crisp appetizers on the second of Advent

  

  On the second Sunday of Advent, I enjoyed to make potatoes gnocchi at home, introducing some variations on traditional local recipes.

• Gingerbread and the coming of the Advent season

  

  On tiptoe, the first Sunday of Advent arrived. Early, in the morning, the first small candle lights up in the kitchen to cheer the first warm cup of coffee of the day. Fragrant gingerbread biscuits are baked and are in the tray to welcome members of family and friends. Later on, Christmas decorations will take…

• Pink bonbons à la gelée for the last October weekend

  

  The day started with a smooth pink toned jelly in mind. Pure pomegranate juice to become pink bonbons à la gelée to satisfy the palate of children and older children. They will love it, I thought. Soon, the pink jelly was almost done in a sauce pan. After I allowed the pink jelly to cool…
