Spring recipe: oven-baked frittata with herbs
Our lives are becoming more hectic every day, which is why it is important to slow down and reconnect with nature.
Growing our own food and gardening are among the fastest growing hobbies. Growing herbs and small vegetables in the garden, terrace or vegetable garden helps us relax, relieve stress and reconnect with nature with a newly found calm and well-being.
So why not use what we grow in the kitchen? The happiest place of the home, where we can share and express our creativity and passion for food.
