Rosa Mayland ponders on the meaning and significance of food in everyday life in her column Rosa’s Musings. She has the advantage of growing up in an incredibly multicultural environment and speaking many languages. She runs the site Rosa’s Yummy Yums. “Terroir with TLC” is the word chez Rosa — quality ingredients, regional and seasonal produce, made with tender loving care — and this is reflected in the recipes she creates.

Rosa recently started photographing in black and white and we find them delightful. This is her first one-woman show of B&W food photography.

We’ve started a food photography album! Every time we fall in love with a food photo, we add it to our gallery.

We’re busy lining up authorizations and until that is all safely in place, we will not display the photos directly here, but will direct you straight to our gallery.

In the coming weeks, we hope to be able to get authorizations from each photographer so we can display the photos as a gallery/slideshow right here on the site.

And here are the winners of the 6 Kuhn Rikon knives at our Expat Expo drawing

Husband Peter and I and Rosa Mayland, author of our column “Rosa’s Musings,” had a great time at the Expat Expo Geneva on Sunday. It’s a great way to make contacts in Geneva.

Rosa’s Musings: How Lemon Curd Saved My Life, or Cooking as Therapy, by Rosa Mayland

Cooking is not just a “recreation”: It is therapeutic, and can save your life

Cooking is an art and patience a virtue… Careful shopping, fresh ingredients and an unhurried approach are nearly all you need. There is one more thing — love. Love for food and love for those you invite to your table. With a combination of these things you can be an artist — not perhaps in the representational style of a Dutch master, but rather more like Gauguin, the naïve, or Van Gogh, the impressionist. Plates or pictures of sunshine taste of happiness and love.—Quote by Keith Floyd, “A Feast of Floyd”
