Roma
Here’s an preview of a culinary walk in Roma…in its alleyway full of flowers, its attractive grocery stores, its foutains, its statues, and its incredible monuments covered with tourists looking like ants on an anthill. I must admit I was a little bit disapointed with our meals there, for that matter if you have any interesting restaurant adresses, don’t hesitate to share! We had a few nice meals though, that I’ll share soon. And happily, I brought some treasures back in my little suitcase : zucchinis blossoms (aaaah what a joy! I can’t find any in Paris), smoked mozarella (oh my!), an unbelievable prociutto (thank god we bought a serious amount of that), green olives as big as birds, and a parmegiano so huge that it barely fits in my fridge.

L’huile ☼ Oil
L’été approche, les salades font leur retour sur la table, et quoi de meilleur qu’une bonne huile d’olive pour assaisonner nos beaux légumes? Je reviens de 3 jours ensoleillés à Rome, et inspirée par ces douces saveurs (que je n’ai malheureusement pu en rapporter dans ma valise à cause de ces satanées restrictions de liquides…pas d’huile de truffe blanche ni de vinaigre balsamique, mais au moins je me suis rattrapée sur fromages, olives, jambon,…mais je ne vous dévoile pas tout maintenant, soyez patients), voici ma sélection des plus jolis huiliers qui n’attendent plus qu’à être remplis. J’ai le premier chez moi depuis déjà quelques années, et il est devenu mon plus grand ami. En tout objectivité, c’est un de mes objets préférés, il est non seulement beau en terme de forme, mais il est fabuleusement ingénieux : le bouchon se cale dans le verre poreux du cou, le haut de la bouteille recueillent le surplus de gouttes d’huile, et le bec verseur permet de doser à la perfection (non je ne fais pas de pub!). Il est tellement cool qu’il a été copié partout, je vous mets le lien officiel, édité par Vinçón, un magasin de design barcelonais.

Summer is arriving, and salads make their way back onto the table. What is better than a good olive oil to garnish our pretty veggies ? I come back from 3 sunny beautiful days in Roma, and as I was inspired with sunny flavours (although I couldn’t bring back any thanks to those liquid rules…no white truffle oil nor balsamic vinegar…hopefully I managed to bring some prociutto, olives and smoked mozarella, but I can’t reveal everything now, let’s be patient!) : here’s my selection of the greatest looking oil cruet. I have at home the first one, I’ve had it for a few years now, and I have to say it is one of my favorite object. It is, besides being pretty looking, very clever : the cap plugs into the porous neck, the top of the bottle collects oil surplus, and the lip doses the oil at perfection (no, I am not making an ad here…). It is so cool that it has been copied everywhere, the original can be found at Vinçón, a Spanish design shop I discovered in Barcelona.
