Pia: My Three Little Lands | Simple European Meals Cookbook
Pia: My Three Little Lands is a new cookbook featuring quick family meals using fresh local food.
"To sit at the dining table with Pia and friends, enjoying her food, is to be transported to another place, warm, inviting and delicious, reminiscent of old country meals. Flavors burst on your tongue. Food is simple yet soul satisfying. Pia’s gift with food is to make it simple yet divine, something people can connect with readily. Her debut cookbook, Pia: My Three Little Lands, reveals her talents and her joyful respect for food, delicious and divine. I am lucky to call Pia my friend and inspiration."

Wow, we re having a heatwave here in Southern Ontario …30 C, 3 days in a row and not much cooler at night. Do you want to use the stove or the oven…no. Do you want to barbecue outside….no. So, it needs to be light, cold and healthy and this is what we did. My […]
Wednesdays is the day, when Mr. Pia has dinner with his partners. Sometimes, my girlfriend and I meet to cook and eat together. We love the books of the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon and now love to watch the TV series: Outlander. The winter before last, we watched it frequently..I mean the whole season, […]
So the weekend is over and it was a cold one. Flurries yesterday, May 15th. I saw a lot of disbelief on FB and I heard people say, how unusual this is…I really do not think so, as we are supposed to plant after the May 24th weekend…even in Germany, it can still be very […]
Mr. Pia is a social butterfly and loves to have company. I sometimes like a weekend just for us, but the first thing he asks on Thursday: ” So what are we doing this weekend.?” Most of the time, I invite friends over or we go out. Last Friday, I had friends over. Because I […]
I am all for having a special day for all mothers and that day should be every day. It is most of the time taken for granted, what women do every day, and by that , I mean all women, not only the ones, who are mothers. We are mothers to our husbands, pets […]
It is the saison, that you find, when going for a hike through a deciduous forest, wild leeks or ramps… They smell deliciously strong of garlic and onions, have a beautiful green colour and can be used for many dishes, you would usually use garlic, onions, leeks or chives. So, for instance, the […]
Okay, I love pasta y fagioli. And I mean, I love it. Some people would call it peasant food…but let’s all be clear about it..the farmers always ate ( in my humble opinion) the best food. Fresh vegetables, fresh eggs, good grains and fresh, well sourced meat. And when you are on a budget, this […]
Sometimes it is nice to have a dinner date with your significant other…but I like to stay home and cook, too. So this Friday, I had a dinner date with Mr. Pia, here at home, cozy and warm and no need to watch the wine, because all we had to do, was go upstairs after. […]
I went grocery shopping last Friday. I see things I like, buy them and I cook accordingly. In my grocery store, I see fruit and vegetables first, they are at the front of the store…the strawberries were delightful and so were the blackberries. I know, it is bad to buy out of season things, but […]
We are so used to amenities like water, electricity, tv and heat, that it is almost a shock, if we do not have access to it. Mother Nature is always stronger than we are, even with all the technology at our service. So on Thursday a major storm ripped through our province and I thought […]
