Last week I had the pleasure of attending Selina's, aka Yummy Choo Eats, first Mauritian Supper Club. Hosted in Selina's house in Croydon, the supper club consisted of starters, main dishes and a dessert, all made with fresh, locally sourced ingredients....

On a sunny day last September, a new ice-cream shop and café opened near Covent Garden in London, called La Gelatiera. As a launch promotion, they were giving out free ice-cream so of course I was there! I was attracted by the prospect of free food, but...

If you have followed my blog for sometime, you would know that I am a big fan of Young and Foodish pop-up events, having been to (and blogged about) quite a few already. Last Saturday, I attended Tea Saturday with Nigella Lawson and as usual I had a great...

I have a long list of independent coffee places that I would like to visit in London. It keeps growing, as new shops open at a higher pace than my exploratory visits are made at. I'm lucky enough to work in Clerkenwell, close to some of London's best...

When I decided to visit Stockholm a few weeks ago, I immediately remembered about Aaron Frey, the coffee expert and talented photographer behind Fresh Ground, "a blog for global nomads and kindred cosmopolitans" and a guide "to cafés and reviews of the...

I often mention Twitter in my blog or refer to people I have met through the social network. That's because Twitter opens a world of opportunities, not only to meet like-minded people (foodies, coffee lovers, photographers), but also taste new foods and...

Last month I had the pleasure to attend a pre-launch pizza tasting by brothers Thom and James Elliot, a.k.a. the Pizza Pilgrims. Now fully up and running, the pilgrims can be found in Berwick Street Market from Monday to Friday to satisfy your lunch cravings....

In my last recipe post, I promised that I would bake more often and share the recipes on the blog. But the problem is, who is going to eat all my baked goods? I am happy to eat a slice of cake or a muffin every now and then, but when you end up eating...

I am in Rome visiting the family and of course I am using all opportunities to take photos of my beautiful city. One of my favourite parts of Rome is Campo de' Fiori, literally "field of flowers". It's a square near Piazza Navona which hosts a fruit and...

Oh my...so many days have passed since my last post! I wish I had the time to write more often, but this crazy year just got a bit crazier! I was asked to relocate to Frankfurt for my job as Account Manager in advertising, so at the moment I am commuting...

I've been meaning to write about this place for a while now and finally today I was given a good excuse to edit all the photos and put this post together! In celebration of Ben's birthday, I present you Ben's Canteen, a lovely café in Battersea. Ben's...

I am a lucky girl. You know why? I live one tube stop away from one of the most hyped food destination of London: the Brixton Village! :) Formerly known as Granville Arcade, the 1930's market was revamped two years ago thanks to an initiative of the Lambeth...

Hello! It's been a long time... Sorry for the lack of updates on Mondomulia lately, but I am trying to adjust to a new routine of life: working as Account Manager in Frankfurt during the week; living in my new home in Clapham, London during the weekend....

I'm back in London after a long weekend in the English countryside with Sandy and my parents! We toured Somerset and Devon, slept in a caravan and gorged on great food. I loved the green landscapes of Exmoor National Park, the long stretches of yellow...

Association Coffee is a beautiful coffee house, which opened last April in the City of London. The space is wide and elegant and I had planned to photograph it for some time. It is open Monday to Friday until 17:00, which means I can only visit during...

After 6 weeks and 7 recipes, we have reached the end of the Lavazza Coffee Set Match series! A competition involving 12 food bloggers was organised by the Italian coffee brand to promote their sponsorship of the Wimbledon Cup, for which they have also...

Visiting Yorkshire over the Easter weekend was a great way to try fresh and locally grown produce. I loved stopping at the Blacker Hall Farm, where we shopped for vegetables, fruit, cheese, homemade pies and bread and local ales. The farm shop is stocked...

One of the hottest tickets in London's foodie scene certainly is the one for Burger Monday, the most famous dining event by food critic Daniel Young of Young & Foodish. To have a chance to bag one of these sought-after tickets, you need to register to...

Just in time before the end of the week, here it comes my "Food for Runners" recipe! This week I was looking for healthy breakfast ideas, something to give you fuel for a morning run and set you up for the day. Now, if you google "runners breakfast",...

In a few hours, the Euro Cup 2012 final between Italy and Spain will kick off. To show support to my national team and my country (and also treat my friend to a special dessert tonight), I have made a Torta Tricolore! It's a tart with custard cream and...

“The beet is the most intense of vegetables. The radish, admittedly, is more feverish, but the fire of the radish is a cold fire, the fire of discontent not of passion. Tomatoes are lusty enough, yet there runs through tomatoes an undercurrent of frivolity....

Venturing out in Clerkenwell during my lunch break some months ago, I discovered Leather Lane, home to a week-day clothes' market as well as eateries and cafés that are always busy with the local office workers' crowd. You might have been there to visit...

The first food blog I discovered and followed, almost two years ago, was by Emma Chapman, one of the Red Velvet girls. As well as creating recipes for A Beautiful Mess (which a fantastic resource of vintage fashion and crafts!), Emma writes a personal...
