Chewy chocolate & coffee cookies.

Chewy chocolate & coffee cookies.

I’m all alone this week end so I turned on the tv to watch Crossing lines ( I’m watching the 9th episode right now) then I turned on the oven and baked a little.

I had these cookies on my bucket list for a while, this week I’m going to attend a couple of Christmas parties so I decided it was time to act.

It’s 11.15 pm so I have to cut the blog post, I only want to say this recipe comes from my lovely mother-in-law Daniela.

Lessa than 10 days to Christmas, we are near!

Days are filled up with meetings, greetings, school recitals, people hurry up every day more to buy something last minute whether is food or presents.

I have to bake rakes of cookies, both sweet and salty, me and mum have to put together lasagne so I have to make my Bolognese sauce ( we call it ragù alla bolognese) and I thought I should post that recipe too so, between a bake and a sauce, just because I’m home alone with Lorenzo for the whole week end, I’ll shoot and shoot and shoot.

 If beer is often on the frontline on my blog because my passion is bringing me partnerships and willing to study and to get informed about anything about craft brewery, there is another “food area” not often considered on my pages: cheeses.

Fresh cheeses, aged cheeses; cow ones, goat ones; Italian, French, British…

I have no limits, I won’t say I like them all but I never say no to a tasting.

Both beer world and cheese world are so wide and ample I would have to study a whole life to learn just a minimum part; as you can’t rule passions I keep on tasting studying.

With this recipe I’m going to start my collaboration with Cantina della Birra, an online beer shop packed with great beers, from classic Pils to strong Porters.

As you may have learned following my blog I’m a beer lover; I’m always in when it comes to try new brews and I’m so lucky as I can do it through Cantina della Birra.

This recipe looks at Christmas, how many want to make homemade presents for friends and colleagues every year?
