Hey Ilva

I know what you mean, but growing up lets us become our own person, and don't forget, those foods you used to think where awful as a child, become a delight as you get older and your taste buds change. How many other animals get to do that! Those poor pandas, nothing but bamboo.. ;o)

Hi Ilva, Thank you for leaving a lovely comment on my blog. Now, if I could cook as well as you do I would not need to spend as much time on the table decor.

Great salad! I'm always looking for new asparagus starters... and with pest...perfect. I'm stealing it... (Promise not to put it on my blog...)

Hi! nice to meet you. Just popped over from Merisi's and love the photos on yur blog.
This salad sounds good.
Tuscany is a place have never been to but always longed to.
I have just finished reading 1000 Days in Tuscany and loved it and it is hard to imagine that such a lifestyle still exists.

Hello Ilva,

the combination of ingredients in this recipe are brilliant. And the photos are great.

I loved it so much that I also have made your salad and published it in my blog.

Just to let you know that you have gained one more fan here in Portugal!

Thank your for your lovely recipes and awesome photos ...
