Anise cookies. I call them cookies, but in fact they’re something between cookies and meringues. Tiny, aromatic pieces of heaven that remind me of my childhood, coming back like an echo every festive season. Are they a thing in your countries? If not, you should definitely give them a go! They’re extremely easy to make and require only a few ingredients, although because they need to be left to dry for a few hours before baking they won’t serve as a good last-minute, emergency snack to go. The preparation is slightly weird, but don’t let it discourage you! Ideal for Christmas, but I make them all year round. Great companions for your afternoon tea.

TV, Internet, magazines… wherever you look, you’re likely to get attacked by dozens of hidden messages suggesting that you should try to achieve the ‘perfect look’.

You must have at some point seen at least one online post with a tutorial on how to lose weight. But have you ever seen one about how not to do it?
