Lit by the shy autumn sun, surrounded by mist, towering above the landscape, there it was - Motovun, the Minas Tirith of Istria.
Obwarzanek in the Arctic.
Who would have thought that this humble bake from Krakow will have such an international career? A story about food at Polish Polar Station Hornsund.

A study in frost.

On olives and Istria.
I like to think of Istria as an olive country: from whatever point you choose to look, you will probably see an olive grove, or an olive tree at least. And the olive oil there is, well, awesome.
Shinrin-yoku, the Art and Science of Forest Bathing.
Don't know about you, but I felt compelled to run to the forest the moment I finished reading this book. Ready to invite nature into your life?
