During all my visits in Washington DC there was always a place where I loved to eat. Sometimes once per visit, and sometimes almost every day depending on how long I’d stay. My favorite thing there was the portobello sandwich which is entirely meatless, but has the amazingness of the best steak sandwich you’ve ever…
Vietnamese Summer Rolls
Months ago I was out shopping for groceries and I saw a pack or rice paper. I said to myself “I can do something awesome with this! “. So here I am, after watching maybe a thousand videos about how to make these rolls I found out there is no “classic recipe” in this area,…
Washington D.C. Day 5 – Angelico Pizzeria
My first summer in US, I came to Washington D.C. to visit a friend. We walked around the National Mall, saw some museums the White house, the Capitol and then we went back to the area where he lived. A small place called Angelico Pizzeria was there and he told me he eats there quite…
Washington D.C. Day 4 – Italian Gourmet Deli
A place where I went for a lunch once like two years ago. And here comes the realization that out of the two types of people: The ones that love French food and the ones that love Italian food, I am definitely the second type. Nothing is better for lunch than a pile of fries…
Washington D.C. Day 3 – Vapiano
Today for dinner, I was surprised by an Italian restaurant – Vapiano. A place where you order your food, and watch the cook make it right in front of you. I was so pleasantly surprised, not only because I love Italian food all together, but because pasta is one of the things I live for….
Washington D.C. Day 2 – Chipotle
I did work and travel for three summers in Rehoboth beach, DE. My second summer there a Chipotle opened doors and I remember it immediately became me and my friends favorite place to eat. Why? It is delicious, it is cheap and you fall in love with it right away. It has now been two…
Washington DC Day 1 – Tenley Bar & Grill
So, day one in DC, if we don’t count yesterday’s nightmarish 12 hours of flights, mixed with 4-6 hours wait in between and then 2 hours waiting to pass customs followed by 2 hour bus/metro ride. It ended, however, on positive note as I managed to get a sandwich from one of my favorite places which…
Making French Macarons
A few months ago me and a friend of mine signed up for a cooking course – How to make French Macarons. One of the reasons I really wanted to go to this class in particular was that the chef that teaches it is one of my absolutely favorite Bulgarian food bloggers and artists. Basically…
André – 5 star experience
Talking about cooking done right, here is a small place in a quiet location right in Bulgaria’s capital where you need to go ASAP. First of all, how did I learn about this restaurant? The Bulgarian version of the reality show for home cooks becoming professionals- “Master Chef” has been an eye opener for the food…
Djanam Steak House
If you are ever in Sofia and in desperate need of quality steak, I have a suggestion for you: Djanam Steak House. I do not claim to be a steak expert, not in the slightest. But I am one who can appreciate quality food and the magic it creates, no matter the type. I have…
The profiterole – eclair’s tiny brother
My dream, and here I will assume not only mine, is to cook all the classical dishes and desserts I have heard so much about. One of the big ones in my list was eclairs, just because: I love them so much They seem hard enough to make, and they make me want to try…
Summer Strawberry Tart
Nothing says “Summer” quite as good as the freshly made strawberry desserts, drinks and jams. Even though I am all about work lately, I just had to take a day of break and stay in front of the fan in the kitchen, making desserts in order to be creative for a change. Well tough noogies,…
Thassos Island – Greece
I have only been in Greece once, before my recent trip to Thassos and I need to be honest – I did not like it at all. I need to also note that my first visit to Greece was not to the same place. It was to a small tiny village called Fanari really close…
Dulce de Leche Brownie
Now this is where I stumbled оnto problems. And not because the brownie was particularly hard to make. Simply the dulce de leche is a bitch to find here in Bulgaria. So after searching in many shops, and speaking to sales people who looked at me like I am speaking some alien language, I gave…
Coconuties – did I make them or did they make themselves
Since I have an enormous passion for food, I often end up cooking a lot of things at once. And since there is no one to eat them at home, that often stops me from making what I want to make. This is why I love baking for my colleagues, especially since I started working…
