Weekend Tribune, issue: 05 May '12

The cooking section of today's Weekend Tribune is offering you a recipe for fast spaghetti.

Check the video of Fabio Viviani preparing a real Italian dish while explaining everything with his awesome Italian accent. He once said: "My accent will not get better by the end of the day, your knowledge [of lasagna] will". We proved this right.

Check more of his recipes on Chow Ciao.

No ovens around

As far as my personal research went, Belgians are not very fond of using ovens. Very often they don't even own one.
As you can imagine, the owner of my building (who provided only one fridge (no freezer) for 15 people), did not bother to add an oven to the newly-furnished kitchen.. Therefore, I decided to learn how to cook in a microwave..
My search for instructions led me to an unexpected (yet important) advice: Don't wash your vegetables with soap! Did you know that? I mean, seriously? Even when they are... dirty?..
