It is said that every festive meal should start with an appetizer to whet the appetite. In Italy, those are known as antipasti, in France as hors d'oeuvre. Here on the Balkans and the Middle East we call it mezé. Today's appetizer recipe will surely tease your palate.

This Friday, my regular walk to the market was marked by the white and red colors of the martenitsa. Martenitsa is a small piece of red and white woven yarn symbolizing a wish for good health. It's part of a pegan tradition, popular on the Balkans, in which people exchange martenitsa as a gift on the first day of March and wear them to welcome spring.

Today - quick and easy dessert. Make it to surprise your loved one for St. Valentine's Day or use this recipe for any other occasion. It's worth it.

Clean the strawberries and put them on the side. Place the rest of the ingredients in a mixing bowl and whip them with wooden spatula until they become soft homogeneous cream with fluffy peaks.

It is fairly easy to find baby spinach on the market, these days. Today, I will show you how to quickly prepare a delicious light pasta meal.

Wash the spinach well and sauté it briefly with the olive oil until it gets soft. Make sure you do not overcook it. Remove it from the stove to cool down.
