I am a Dane and I really like (read: am obsessed with) food. It is not snobbery, it is pure love. With this kind of background I think I have an excuse for talking and thinking about food around 80% of the time?

Som beskrevet i min første artikel på Lexiophiles, er jeg som dansker meget glad for (læs: besat af) mad.

La musica italiana più conosciuta all´estero è quella di artisti quali Laura Pausini, Tiziano Ferro o Nek. Benché costoro siano – senza ombra di dubbio – grandi artisti, c´è da dire che il panorama musicale italiano contemporaneo ha anche molto altro da offrire. Ho già scritto qualcosa su questo argomento qualche tempo fa nell´ambito di [...]
