The day Mattia almost died in the National Gallery.

We promised London, we'll give you London.
Since breaking traditions is bad, and we are good people, we decided to make fish & chips the main dish of our english diet.  Twice in five days, which is a good average.
Oh don't worry we ate sweets too, but we justify them by saying we needed to drink a hot cup of tea.
But our, of course, was a business/cultural trip so we went to the National Gallery but Mattia didn't see much of it cause he had too many fries five minutes before walkin in, and felt like he was gonna die.
*Personal note: please never eat fried food and pretend it was nothing then quickly pay, walk out in the cold, run on the stairs, walk into a museum smile and start looking at renaissance paintings: you will immediately start puking.

So here they are :)
Enjoy.

This is a snack break we had in Brick Lane. Swedish restaurant called Fika. 

Guess who had which one...

Reason of Mattia's fainting.

Ciao, Ciao :)

"Get Ready For Another Slice of Pie!"

-Couldn't think of a more appropriate quote this time. Google it if you need some help ;)

This week we had some of our best friends over and wanted to make something sweet to offer them after dinner (we will make a post soon on what THEY cooked for US that day, stay tuned!)

This is a glorious short pastry chocolate-apple pie.

It's made with few ingredients but we the results are super rich :)

it's almost completely handmade (except for the pastry which we bough in sheets). The cream filling is made with ricotta cheese, sugar, eggs and crumbled chocolate, and the topping by hazelnuts and amaretti, both crumbled.

We made two of them, we had it as dessert and as breakfast for the next two days!

We hope you like it! See you soon (with some thai food…)
:)
