It was freezing cold here in Sofia, so I decided to wear something warm and cozy. I love this shirt by Ben Sherman. It gives a perfect western folk look when combined with boy cut jeans.

Did you hear about Jamie Oliver? If not you better watch this video. It will change your life…
(via TED)
After watching this video I decided to buy one of Jamie’s culinary books – “Jamie at home. Cook Your Way to the Good Life.”
I bought this one because it was the only Jamie’s cooking book available in book store here in Sofia, Bulgaria. And now I thank God that I hit on this one.
The book is fantastic and beautifully printed. What comes to my mind when I look at the pictures in this book is the strong will to try and cook every single dish that Jamie writes about. I tell you the recipes are great – really tasty and what is very important healthy.
The whole book is organized by seasons. Jamie gives some tips how to grow your own vegetables and fruits. Which I think is a wonderful idea. Do you remember my little garden at my balcony?
I wanted to try some recipes from the book and I came up with this one – Tomato coriander salsa with grilled tuna. The photograph in the book was insane… so I decided to try it. The recipe was quick, easy and delicious.

Ingredients:
6 spring onions, trimmed and finely chopped
1-2 fresh red chillies, deseeded and finely chopped to taste
a bunch of fresh coriander, leaves picked
a bunch of fresh mint, leaves picked
1 kg beautifully ripe but firmish tomatoes
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
juice of 1/2 a lemon
juice of 1 lime
6 fresh fish fillets
olive oil
Preparation.
1. slice the spring onions and half of the chillies
2. finely chop the coriander leaves with the upper parts of the stalks and the mint leaves
3. slice up the tomatoes and chop to the kind of consistency that you like
4. carefully scrape everything off the board into a nice serving bowl with all the juices
5. season and balance the flavors confidently with the salt, the lemon juice and the lime juice
6. put the salsa to one side while you get your fish ready.
7. rub it on both sides with olive oil and season with salt and peper.
8. grill or griddle to your liking on both sides.
9. serve the fish on a plate with a big dollop of the salsa on top, or to the side.
10. enjoy your meal.
