It was nice coming home for a change. The moment I stepped out of the plane, the smell of the Mediterranean breeze welcomed me to Split (Croatia).
Coming home after every six months or so, is a wonderful feeling especially this time when I know it will be another year until I am back again. I am starting my job in about 10 days so this was a great way to relax, see my family and friends and recharge with good food and plenty of Croatian speaking!
But, I cannot relax without baking. This time I decided to make marshmallows, which was the first time for me to make them. The recipe comes from a dear friend, Chef and mentor who is a pastry magician and has been a great support of mine. These turned out fantastic and something completely new for my Croatians. I made basic ones with the addition of vanilla. Lots of vanilla!
I never thought marshmallows can be that amazing, but of course, home made is the key. Alongside with ones I gave away as presents, I made some hot chocolate and drenched those bad boys in. Not to mention that my mum bought fresh, litlerally fresh milk at the market yesterday. Now you can only imagine the richness.
With a cup in my hand, I leave you with a smile on this rainy day.
