Fish, Tomato and Spinach Stew on Rustic Bread
Those who know me know that I am a real foodie! (Btw. I am very proud of that :)). I cook every day, sometimes twice a day – I know crazy :) - but I just enjoy having a proper meal and eating diversely. So even when I decide to have a piece of bread for dinner, it is about to be accompanied by something more than a piece of cheese. Don’t take me wrong, I love bread and cheese but I usually add something to it to make it even more delicious :...

Roast chicken drumsticks with garlic & lemon thyme on polenta
Roast chicken – yum! Polenta – yum, yum, yum! This dish can’t disappoint you!
For some, polenta (cornmeal) is not a usual cooking ingredient and I have to say that until last year I wasn’t using it in my kitchen either. But ever since I discovered its taste, it became my favourite accompaniment dish and a great change from serving pasta, potatoes, rice, etc.
I first came across polenta when I was working in one of Jamie Oliver’s restaurants in London. In one of our tasting sessions, they put a spatchcocked chicken on polenta in front of me and I just loved it! It had a smooth and thick texture and a very specific, creamy taste....
