Winter is here, in Washington it's already -5 degrees in the morning, so I took out my chapka (in fake fur), my giant tea mug, and my big sweaters…
To face the winter, nothing is better than to immerse yourself in a "comfort" universe, evenings at the cinema, homemade soups, cookies and tea, rice pudding, hot chocolate, marathon of old movies and overdue books…
Some vegan & easy recipes to face the falling temperatures…
