the-last-thing

This is a young adult book for boys aged 12-15 years. Supposed to be action packed, I must say I was pretty boredwith it. Well, I am not a boy and I am not aged 12-15, but still, I enjoy a YA-novel as much as the next person. The Last Thing I Remember has an […]

Food is all around. Not just as something that we need to survive, but also in the form of books, supplements in papers, food blogs, super star chefs, Michelin starred restaurants, tv-programs, different “schools” and movements being the it-trend (like raw food is the big thing in Denmark right now), other movements going back.
