Wow! These were very good and very rich! It was the first time I had ever had gnocchi without a red sauce. I used sage leaves from my garden. I followed the instructions exactly and added shaved parmesan to the finished dish. We would probably have more often, but I don't think our old arteries could take it.

Greece
I'm a Greek-Australian living in Melbourne at the moment with my husband and three kids (boy 9, girl 6, boy 2); my parents and brother also live nearby and are my unconditional supporters/ helpers.
I predominantly cook Greek at home, and I get lots of inspiration from other European cuisines. I also cook Asian dishes, and, lately, roll-it-yourself sushi is a favourite with the husband and kids (a Korean friend suggested it as an easy last-minute/emergency meal! How right she was!).
Admittedly, my husband is the expert at cooking Asian curries and other dishes; I can also claim many successes in this cuisine, though I need to spend more time reading and concentrating on the recipe. Put simply, he's more of a natural.
