We like…
to be inspired to eat well, cook better, and live more
Wishlists
This page is where we can just express what gives us some joy ! From the intensely practical, to the whimsical, trendy, high-tech, and most importantly… inspirational people and experiences that resonate. It brings together some products we have reviewed and ended up falling in love with… things we have used and loved all our lives… things that tickle our fancy, make us laugh, or wish we had them or give them as gifts to make another soul happy .
What inspires us ?
We’re inspired every day, by many or you, so we’ll share the stories, experiences, and quotes that resonate with us. They all keep us on track and help us live more. We’ll do little interviews to allow you to glimpse into the lives of others on their journey to eat well, cook better, and live more.
p.s. we love a great deal too.
And of course, we all love a genuine bargain, so we’ll pass them on to you here as we catch them.
It can be as simple as… a favourite childhood sweet.
So you might see this sign dotted around the blog as a sign of showing things we like or love. If you are Swizzel’s love heart fan like us, you will understand our wee reference here !
It´s the ´we like´ blog !

Take some time off and live more.
Taking an hour off to learn salsa – in a great location. The food and cocktails try to steal the show !
Authenticity

shortcut shopping links
A visual listing with buying links to the equipment that we recommend, for various reasons, in our reviews. A work in progress !
A foodie’s wish list
Little and big kitchen gifts for everyone. The kind of gifts that keep on giving back. Things we like, use, or would love to have. Just saying !

We love this because…
it does what it says. keeps bananas fresh for much longer… up to 2 weeks!
& you can store them in the fridge
Great deal !
A bargain price for the stylish Kmix sister to the Kenwood HDP406WH. If you like KitchenAid, you’ll love this.
La Pavoni Coffee Machine
It’s Italian of course we love it !!!
the beautiful manual lever operation.
the steam is always immediately available.
Dusting Wand
perfect for sprinkling surfaces for rolling dough, for evenly flouring baking pans.

Inspired by student cooking !
A quick, refreshing Q & A with a graduate student about her journey with cooking. Pithy, to the point, and some great recommendations !
Be thankful for what you have…
Do you want abundance ? This really works… be thankful for what you have and you’ll end up having more !
Cute spoons… espresso spoon, coffee spoon, latte spoon
Little things really tickle me. Having coffee out, and I just love the spoon more ! What is it… an espresso spoon – a real supping spoon !

Paul & Aoibheann
We love great food & cooking… & simplifying life.
We want to help you find the right tools to cook better. But we’re all suffering from information and salesmen overload online! So… we want to simplify and clarify it, so you can make faster and better choices.
We’re professional, honest, authentic. We owned the No. 1 restaurant in Marrakech for over 8 years – we understand cooking, and customer satisfaction.
Our daily mantra is to eat well, cook better, live more.
We want the same for you !
