Translator & wannabe writer. Book lover. Owned by one kitty. Love experimenting in the kitchen, attempting to make masterful dishes through the creative use of leftovers. Not always successful. :) Italian & Spanish cuisines are in my blood, but I've also been very much into Asian & vegetarian lately (I do enjoy seafood and a bit of chicken sometimes, and CHEESE!). Chocolate (preferably dark & bittersweet) & coffee are other obsessions.
