Salad with goat cheese & red pepper



Mushroom risotto with chicken & bacon


Vanilla & chocolate meringues, only with the white of the eggs and sugar.


Here is the recipe of the mushroom risotto i google translated. The chicken was added when i cooked mushrooms with butter and garlic, then added the cream. The secret of the risotto is the rice, Arborio is a good italian brand. And do not leave the risotto alone in the kitchen, it's like a kid, you have to watch it all the time and add the broth to it when the liquid is almost gone in the pan.
