FURNITURE CAKE
Every year i look forward to go to Salone Internazionale dei mobili in Milano. This year i was caught up with things but i did hear about an interesting Portugal & Japan originated designer couple. Rui Pereira and Ryosuke Fukusada. They displayed their love for productdesign and food together in what they call in Italian 'SAPORE DEI MOBILI'. So unfortunately i missed eating my first chair!!

UNUSUAL GREY!
I love grey and i love unusual things! There you go............!
By using black sesame paste you get grey icecream. Lovely recipe made with coconut milk by Vanessa Rees. There's a lot we can do with the icecream..but did you ever think of making your own cones? This one is a red-pepper and mango cone...mmmmmmmmmmm delicious!
FROM POLAND WITH LOVE
This week i was wondering about a nice present for a newborn baby. I'm an absolute fan of useful presents when it comes to kids as they usually get lost among piles of toys before you know it..
The gods must have overheard my brain cracking 'cause i suddenly found these....EVERYTHING will be fun to eat from these cleverly illustrated plates!
The designer is from Poland! His name is Boguslaw Sliwinski

FINAL INSPECTION
Ofcourse there must be a large patch of soft green grass in the V&F (vegetable & fruitgarden) for the little monsters to do some sunbathing while the plants are growing. So obviously this was on top of the long 'to do list'. You can see Nando is inspecting thoroughly that the green carpet is well soaked. In most cases he is not particularly fond of water... but his wet feet do not seem to bother him this time!

VEGETABLE & FRUITGARDEN
Did i mention that a dream came true? nooooooo??? this blog has just recently purchased it's very own vegetable and fruitgarden to grow it's own ingredients for cooking! Just now, planting has started and little by little the world of modern farming is starting to open up to me! Those past few days the sun was smiling bright and i have too many ideas to put into practice....will tell you more about it soon! Must run off now to do some sowing!
starting up (with a view!)

NO HOUSE WINE
This beautiful bottle of 'vonkelwijn' was a present at a dinner party in my home! The bottle cover was designed by Studio Boot they designed a number of Fair trade 'no house wines'. The title is catching because part of the takings are used for charity in South Africa, helping homeless children who lost their parents because of HIV.
I am now held responsible :-) for the task of finding a suitable occasion to open this bottle....!

SPRING IS IN THE AIR!
They are here!...the days that you wake up from the birds singing ...while the sun is shining! Yes!
FOOD STYLING
What a lovely way of styling colorful dishes! It's so fresh & bright and the combination of food and illustration is catching. See more styling from Dietlind Wolf on her blog.
PORTE COUVERT
Very subtle and original creations from Emilie on her Griottes blog! I always had a soft spot for the kittens tree... it think it's one of the funniest things in nature!
