Lucina & Candi
Do you love food? Do you ever swap recipes with your friends? We do and now we want to share them with other people too (note the rhyme)! This blog has been set up by Candi and Lucina, two Italian friends with a passion for cooking now living in two separate countries (Italy and England).
English & Italiano
In order to reach as many friends as possible on both sides of the Channel (and beyond) we have decided to write in both languages. The order of the day is to share good, wholesome recipes without any of the faff! Without faff?! Senza tante menate! Let's improve our English by cooking o migliora il tuo italiano cucinando.
