The first time I tasted Greek Yogurt, I fell in love with the stuff. So creamy, dense and bitter, it was way better than the regular stuff! Soon I realised that if I added some walnuts and drizzled it with honey, I had the perfect instant dessert, the most sophisticated quick-fix ever. (It’s a shame that, unlike in London, it’s not available in most supermarkets in Lisbon, and I have to go to the shopping centre I hate the most just to get it.)
I never got to know my grandmother Isabel very well, as I was only five when she died. And as a kid I always felt I was missing out. Having one grandmother was wonderful, having two would have been even better.
This cupcake recipe was one of my first adventures into baking. I remember doing taking a batch to school, I remember sharing the recipe with friends and teachers, and I remember being proud of it, because it was my grandmother’s recipe and had a little story attached to it.
Yes, this is the 4th encarnation of my website. But you can still visit the ones that came before, should you be in the mood for a trip down memory lane. Just don't complain about the broken links, ok?
