Nawet z przygotowaniem bardziej wymyślnego posiłku radzi sobie szybciej niż patelnia czy piekarnik. Podpowiada, pilnuje temperatury, nie dymi. Potrzebuje jedynie gorącego powietrza, by stworzyć danie aromatyczne, soczyste, chrupiące. Co ważne, zatrzyma w nim również więcej składników odżywczych, ponieważ tak właśnie działa krótka obróbka termiczna. Frytki czy inne fast foody, do których mamy słabość, przyrządzi w lżejszej wersji. A jeśli metabolizm nam się pogubił i wskazana...

Jeden z pierwszych wierszy, jakie napisała Julia Hartwig, zaczyna się Pod tą wyspą jest jeszcze jedna wyspa… Myślałem o nim w ostatnich tygodniach nie raz, kiedy ktoś spotkany w Marsali mówił, że to właściwie dwa miasta, jedno nad, drugie pod ziemią.

Zachęta skierowana do wędrowca, żeby szukał wzdłuż i w głąb. A takż...

For example, Churchill's experiences of facing the German Army in France in 1916 made him unwilling to send masses of British soldiers back there in the 1940s, while Hitler's mistakes on the Eastern Front were influenced by his reluctance to accept that conditions had changed since his own time fighting. The implications ...
