Together with Nicole Duplaix, Chair of the IUCN-SSC Otter Specialist Group , I wrote a book all about otters and how wonderful they are. Check it out We Love Otters

Milù! Milu is all the rage at the @wwfitalia ‘s offices in Rome. And I always stop by to say hello and play tug-o-war with whatever his favourite toy is at the moment 💪🏻
Now. I realise this photo is awful, but the potatoes were so yummy that I have to share. I slow cooked these lovely golden potatoes in milk and butter and saffron. They were really very special 🌕
This was a discovery: marinated prawns with a modified hollandaise sauce. I made it the traditional way (butter, yolks, lemon) but at the end I also added the sauce that the prawns had made when cooking (they cooked in garlic, white wine and butter). Not only was it really good but it was also the ideal texture - something that I rarely manage to obtain 😁
I realised that I haven’t posted recipes in a while, sooo.... here goes! This was one plate of our New Year’s Feast: puff pastry triangles with salmon and cream cheese and white bread rolls with salmon, cream cheese, lemon zest and arugula. Both were great but the bread rolls were maybe better - the arugula and zest gave them a fresh crunchiness that the puff pastry didn’t have.
And the last one! Me with a parrot on my head while I did a home check for a potential bird fosterer.... It went well!!
And this is Panettone, also from @angeles_del_raval - she was abandoned and now I’m fostering her until she can find a forever home. She’s so so soft and very cautious but really likes company 😏
A weekend full of animals! This is Crispr whose family decided to adopt two of @angeles_del_raval ‘s rats. Fell in love with her. She was adorable 🥰
The last one of the Mercato Coperto series, that shows just how steampunk it actually is: copper sculptures of entertaining ants. And it’s not only here - every table on the second floor has a light that is actually an ant... very cool. Can’t wait to go back!
I remember when I used to walk through those doors with my grandmother and then, when she was gone, by myself on Saturday mornings to buy something yummy for my weekend. I think this might have been the market that gave me the love for all markets!
