About Me

I love to cook and more importantly, I like to improve the way I cook certain dishes. As such, this blog is borne out of a desire for a simple and organized way to manage the different variations of the dish that I tried. I will be posting recipes, pictures and comments on what works for me and what don’t. Hopefully, you will enjoy your time here, and do remember to give your feedback! Cooking is a constant evolution, a process and definitely not an end result!

Tips and Comments
  • Garlic is an important factor in Aglio Olio Pasta, hence, it is important that the right amount of garlic is added.
  • Adding Onion increase the taste to this dish as I have to say that it is not easy to master a plate of tasty Aglio Olio.
  • I prefer Linguine than Spaghetti for Aglio Olio but this is a personal preference!
