As this day brings me something a little sweet, I thought I would feature something else that is little and sweet.


Presenting Pocket Coffee.

This little chocolate is made by Ferrero, the same company that brings us Ferrero Rocher and Nutella. This particular product is filled with a sweet liquid center of espresso that is encased in dark chocolate. Two addictions in one little package!


They are so good that I keep a small stash for myself. These little wonders are so difficult to find, that I request them from anyone I know who is going to be visiting Europe.


Look out for these goodies. You'll be hooked for sure!


Thank you again. Keep reading and keep eating well!

Dedicated to Good Food

My name is Asif and I am a bit obsessed when it comes to food. I absolutely love it.  My life revolves around eating and the pleasure that comes from it. You have to eat, so you might as well enjoy it!


However, I am a bit of a prude.  I won't just eat anything.  I believe in good, wholesome and quality ingredients. Tradition and simplicity have great value, but experimentation is not out of the question; rather, it is a rule. Also, another rule is that things are almost always better from scratch.


I do not believe in the waste, nor do I ever follow a recipe exactly.


In reading my submissions, I hope that we can learn from each other, as I would love to hear your comments and tips! The learning never ends.


The title of this blog is Quanto Basta, which is a measurement used in Italian cooking meaning "as much as is needed".  Some of the world's best cooking arises out of just that.


Enjoy!
