Hello beautiful people,

Our blog is just about one year old. Since then we posted over 70 recipes, and we are so pleased to how it looks today. We truly hope to be able to continue doing this for a very long time. It is so much fun. I fact I think it is kind of therapeutic. Cooking is our passion 🙂

Sadly we are celebrating our blog’s birthday with these crappy pictures, we were not at our home to cook and we did not have our props 🙂

The good season seems to have arrived, the sun is shining and the temperature is at a good level. Sunday we were blessed with great sunshine, shame the hangover from the day before prevented us from making the most of it.
Actually, that only applies to me. Hoang did go out in the morning for a short walk, I just could not face to leave the sofa. I managed to get up and went out in the afternoon.

Saturday night we had a couple of friends over for dinner, one of those nights where you wake up in the morning and look at the empty bottles of wine and think: ‘That’s impossible!’…Well, it was.
The dinner was great, possibly with too much red wine, but we had a blast, so it was well worth it.

The recipe we are posting today was in fact made a few weeks back, it was suggested by my mother. We loved making it. It is not only very yummy, but it is so much fun to make and I think it is super cute to show as well.
We have served it as an aperitif snack. However, you can also offer it as a starter. The filling is very much dependent of what you like, you can be as creative as you like, it will always taste great!
