Summertime coldness – Café frappé, comme en Grèce
[Iced coffee, just like in Greece]
There is this nice place a few footsteps away from Knightsbridge. It has a counter made of salads – more beautiful one than the other – and cakes – most likely blueberry with some kind of oaty crumbles. It also has the cutest waiters. And they make coffee, the Greek way.
In fact, I need to bring my camera next time I go. Most likely tomorrow. Not for the waiters, although I’m sure you wouldn’t mind some serious hotness, but today, it’s more about coldness.
Ice-cubes and coffee. And milk, with a touch of cream too.
Because we can never have enough coffee in our lives, here is the recipe for the creamiest cup you could ever have.
Hope you’re having a lovely summer. Mine has been super-busy so far. News and updates to come soon soon.
And PS. thanks to everyone who signed in for the newsletter. The first edition should be on the way very shortly (well, knowing me, that’s more likely to be another month).

This is how its done in the city it was invented.

Greek frappe is the best, isn’t it? A Greek girl here, who can’t live without the stuff!
If I’m ever in London, I must visit that place with the cute waiters :)

[...] Thank god for all the parent and baby fitness classes we’re doing right now. Three last week, plus yoga, and then Monday a water fitness class starts to make up for the strollercize that is now over. In a month, it will be 4 days a week including two classes on Monday, because exercise is my happy drug of choice. And for the fact that Jess is a very cheerful baby when she’s awake. These are the things that makes this all tolerable. That, and my new addiction to iced greek coffee. [...]
