Persian Fritata
Kuku or Kookoo is a traditional egg based Persian dish that is healthy and delicious packed with a variety of herbs. The dish compares to a frittata, not an omelette as the ratio to filling is more than eggs itself. You can play around with the herbs you like, the taste is light and airy…

Summer Breakfast
Morning swims, cups of coffee & comforting porridge bowls filled with fresh berries…is what summer mornings are made of. Hubby and I started the day with a traditional picnic breakfast on the pier. Siena and hubs swam while I sat on the softest of blankets watching them fight over noodles in the water. Even though…
