I for one can't get a decent sub here in England nor can I get eggplant parmigiana out. On the other hand living here I have new favorites that I wouldn't have had if not for being in a new country. I love banoffee pie and Christmas pudding with brandy sauce. So the basic idea is to share a bit of the old with the new.

Couldn't find it at the grocery store. After I sent him on a mission to locate some, my boyfriend (a doctor here in Switzerland) finally obtained it at the apothecary!

Of course baking soda is one those items that is indispensable when it comes to baking. One surprise for me here is how cheap flour and bread flours are in general.
