The Holiday season is so delightfully bright and colorful that I thought I would share the subtler, quieter side of winter in the new Calendar Wallpaper for December.
Just a few dried leaves left on the oaks now, and the sunset light adds magic and hope or renewal to come.
i hope you will enjoy it!

Available for the screens of your devices, you can download it for free (no sign up necessary) at the link in profile.
Happy December!

Another special little restaurant I recently visited with friends and that I am delighted to recommend:
LO STORICO Café @lo.storico in the town of Gallarate (VA) in my neck of Northern Italy

We went there for a weekday lunch (see pics), so they had a lunch menu for €14 which featured two choices of primi piatti (these are either pasta, risotto or soup) and two choices of main course.
We also opted for dessert, of course. Everything was truly fresh, clearly home made and excellent.

The friend who picked the place said she’s been going there regularly for aperitivo, or dinner and has also been to a few events catered by this team, and they have always been really good.

The place is small and gets busy, so give them a call before showing up if you can.
Enjoy!

Lentil Soup with Chestnuts, Kabocha and Rosemary

This recipe bridges the pumpkin series and the soup season, which we have definitely entered here in the Northern Hemisphere. It is a crowd pleaser (also because the amounts are enough for a good 10-12 portions), flavorful and easy to make. Recipe at the link in profile!

Happy November!
