mondomulia

Two weeks ago I shared the first part of my Tuscany holiday. Last May I stayed in a beautiful privately-owned villa rented with Tuscany Now and located in the outskirts of Florence. I spent seven days driving around the region with my parents, trying...

Last week I wrote about my trip to Copenhagen, with photos from my first day in the city. Our second day was packed with more sight-seeing! We met Sylvia and her husband Albert at Coffee Collective (which I'll review in a separate post) and, after a great...

It's been a long time coming, but finally I am about to go on my honeymoon (exactly 14 months after getting married)! Tomorrow night we will start our journey to Australia and New Zealand (via Singapore and Dubai) and I can't contain my excitement! As...

On one of the hottest day of summer last year, my husband and I rode on our motorbike to Sandbanks in Dorset for a day at the beach. The night before I had googled "best beaches in UK" and the name had come up at the top of the search, so I was intrigued....

After four months of living in Frankfurt on and off, I am finally sharing a long overdue blog post about this city. I admit, at first I didn't find enough inspiration in thi city to write about its culinary traditions. I spent a lot of time eating on...

My husband's work takes him to Zurich usually once a year, so last month I decided to join him there for a weekend of exploring the Swiss city. I have never been attracted by Switzerland as a holiday destination: quiet, clean and expensive describe it...

After an intense few months of non-stop working, I am finally getting round to sharing photos from my trip to Tuscany in May. I wonder where the summer has gone, as it feels like yesterday that I was travelling around the beautiful Italian region, tasting...

I first went to Copenhagen last weekend, but I loved it so much that I am already considering moving there (one day)! :) Maybe it was the sun, which was out three days in a row, but Copenhagen really felt like the perfect city to live in: beautiful, cosmopolitan,...

Hello there! Sorry for the lack of posts lately, as you might have noticed on my Instagram I'm currently away on holiday in Iceland. I'm having a great time driving around this beautiful island with my husband and I hope to share my photos with you soon....

Two weeks ago I traveled to Old Heathfield, East Sussex, for the #FoodiesOnTour event with six other lifestyle and food bloggers. We were invited by Nokia and Great British Chefs for a day of cooking with Michelin-starred chef Josh Eggleton and to celebrate...

On Friday 17th May we celebrated Food Revolution Day, a "global day of action for people to make a stand for good food and essential cooking skills. It's a chance for people to come together within their homes, schools, workplaces and communities to cook...

I have been living in London for nearly eight years now, half of which were spent in south London. Before, when I was living in the north, I rarely had reasons to venture south of the river as there is so much happening in central and east London. Not...

Nordic countries (Denmark, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Finland): I love them. I only started discovering them three years ago, with my husband, and we both fell in love with the culture, the people, the scenery and the food. I haven't seen a lot of them...

Last year I took part to the Lavazza Coffee Set Match bloggers competition and, thanks to my coffee-based recipes, I won the first prize: tickets to Wimbledon and a trip to Turin! I had never been to Turin, so I was very excited about finally visiting...

If you are looking for a beautiful destination in the English countryside to escape to for a day or a weekend, look no further. The Pig, a hotel and restaurant set in the heart of the New Forest National Park, is the perfect place for you. I was invited...

Assado is the latest addition to Cyrus Todiwala's restaurant empire, a Goan-Portuguese fusion restaurant which opened last month in Waterloo's Hampton by Hilton hotel. The décor suits the style of the adjoining hotel lobby: bright, colourful and cool...

The Cassata Siciliana is the most iconic Sicilian cake, an elaborate dessert made with sponge cake (called “pan di Spagna” in Italian) moistened with liqueur and layered with ricotta cheese, covered with marzipan and decorated with candied fruits and...

Reykjavík, the capital and largest city of Iceland, is a modern and charming city that is well worth visiting for a long weekend (if you are coming from UK or Europe) or use as a base for a longer holiday in the country. My husband and I booked flights...

I remember being in the kitchen one evening many months ago when my husband announced "I have booked flights to Tromsø to see the Northern Lights"! At the time we were planning our epic honeymoon trip so I didn't spare a thought for a trip to a city I...

This is the summer to celebrate all things Brazil and, even though England and Italy are out of the World Cup, there's no reason to stop me from joining the celebrations! Last week I was invited by Tilda to a Brazilian Supperclub cooked by 2010 MasterChef...

On Saturday I took photos at Ribstock, a competition to find the ‘Great British Rib Champion 2013’ among ten of the UK’s best rib chefs and restaurants. I missed out on a ticket last year, so I was very excited to be there! Despite the rain forecast,...

I'm very excited to write about Lardo today and share the photos from our Saturday brunch. I have a long list of overdue posts to publish, but this one cannot wait! I set myself an objective for this year to explore more of east London: Dalston, Stoke...

During lunch at Honey & Co. a few weeks ago, I tried a Chocolate Krantz Cake for the first time. It’s a yeast bread filled with chocolate sauce, pecans and sugar and rolled in a braid shape. I didn't know what the cake was called, as I ordered it by pointing...

It all began when a photograph appeared on Pinterest a few weeks ago: white stucco fronted house, black and white canopy, big shop window, pendant lights, coffee machine. And a name that immediately evokes style, appeal and design: Monocle. I fell in...

The restaurant scene in Rome has changed a lot since I left my hometown six years ago. The old traditional restaurants are always a must if you are a tourist visiting Rome for the first time. But if you know the city well, like me, you may want to branch...
