Pasta All'Arrabbiata

Pasta All'Arrabbiata

Pasta All’Arrabbiata is proof that a few simple ingredients can still make a statement. Garlic slowly melts into olive oil, tomatoes simmer down into something rich and vibrant, and chile brings the kind of heat that lingers just enough. It’s bold without trying too hard — comforting, fiery, and unapologetically sharp in all the right ways. Ingredients * 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil * 1 can (14.5 oz) San Marzano or Datterini plum tomatoes, crushed by hand with most skins removed.

Marcona Almond Ajoblanco, White Grape & Cured Tuna

Ajoblanco de Almendra Marcona, White Grape & Cured Tuna This dish is built in contrast — a silky chilled ajoblanco poured around lightly cured tuna, sweet white grapes, and almond. It’s a quiet tribute to Moorish Granada and the Albaicín: cool, white, aromatic, and saline, with a sense of ritual in the final pour. Ajoblanco (Chilled Marcona Almond Soup) Ingredients * 150 g Marcona almonds, blanched * 150 g white bread, crusts removed * 1 small clove garlic, confit or gently roasted *

Dessert – Dulce Alhambra (Sweet Alhambra)

Olive Oil & Orange Blossom Cake with Goat Cheese Ice Cream This is a dessert built in layers — olive oil cake with orange zest and orange blossom water, goat cheese ice cream, warm honey, and pistachio. Inspired by my time in Andalusia, where desserts feel light, fragrant, and thoughtful. Olive Oil & Orange Blossom Cake Ingredients * 2 large eggs * 120 g caster sugar * Zest of 1 orange * 120 ml extra virgin olive oil (I like Arbequina here) * 80 ml whole milk * 1½ tsp orange blosso

Traditional Norwegian Cinnamon Buns (Kanelboller)

Norwegian pastries are a true delight, and there's something incredibly special about the way they're made! Among the many treats, cinnamon buns or "kanelboller", stand out as a beloved classic. These soft, fluffy buns are laced with the perfect balance of cinnamon and sugar, all wrapped up in a delicate, slightly buttery dough. They're often enjoyed with a cup of coffee, making it an essential part of the Norwegian "kaffepause" (coffee break) tradition.  The pastries in Norway aren't just foo

A Night at Sommerro

A Night at Sommerro

From the moment I stepped into Sommerro, I felt instantly at ease. Walking into my Villa Inkognito Deluxe Room, the soft, warm lighting and rich materials made it feel intimate and luxurious without being intimidating. Every detail — from the textures to the layout — felt intentional, creating a sense of quiet comfort that extended throughout the hotel. The Villa Inkognito Experience I stayed in one of the Villa Inkognito – Deluxe Rooms, and it was one of the most beautiful rooms I've ever s
