“Real food is better than dieting.” Angelina Jolie
Bootylicious
Legitimate for a cozy movie night when the sun is shining outside? No one has been looking since this spring. Netflix is constantly throwing new food at our feet, and Ben & Jerry’s is doing the same for the platform. Netflix & Chill’d is the name of the new baby, which is actually at least as cute as a newborn. Ice cream with peanut butter, sweet and salty pretzel swirls, and on top (and because we’ve long since stopped counting calories) a good portion of fudge brownies. Put the spoon in and get started. Ben & Jerry’s, “Netflix & Chill’d”, 465 ml, approx. 10.-

We sat at home for too long and ate too much pasta. Reason enough to try a completely different cuisine now at the latest: Mexican, for example. And it’s not just burritos and nachos with guacamole, as Rosa Cienfuegos shows in her latest cookbook, which will be published by Rizzoli in September. Although “Comida Mexicana” is no substitute for a trip to Central America, it will give you that mariachi feeling in your kitchen at home. This collection of 224 pages contains everything that chubby-cheeked Mexicans simmer in their saucepans or deep-fry into calorie bombs in an iron pan. Tacos, tortas and tamales show that Mexico’s cuisine has by no means stopped at bean stew. Rosa Cienfuegos, “Comida Mexicana”, Rizzoli, from September 2020, approx. 30.-
What a beauty
A juicy tomato makes you want a crunchy salad and a nice tin of pelati makes you want a homemade sugo. That’s why we have cans of Mutti’s Limited Edition on our shelves, against which Andy Warhol’s Pop Art can looks like a cheap child’s drawing. Produced in Parma, tomatoes, polpo and co. end up as stylish preserves in the larder – and as empty cans on our kitchen table as a flower vase for a few months after they have been used up. Mutti, various canned goods, from approx. 4.-
