Spring is in full swing and so is the array of green vegetables that you can find on farmer's markets these days. Which means my kitchen is dominated by the color green and beautiful spring flavors. Asparagus, spinach, green peas and just a hint of lemon. Have you ever made a quiche from scratch before? If you haven't, let me tell you it's one of the most rewarding things. A crispy, flaky, buttery crust that can hold almost any kind of filling. In this case the filling is a powerful ...

Roasted Pumpkin & Cauliflower on Whipped Feta
When I'm wandering the internet or scrolling through Instagram or Pinterest, I'm constantly amazed by the abundance of delicious looking recipes out there. I sometimes end up almost drooling all over my screen. Can you relate? And isn't it great, that we have so much goodness ready at the click of a fingertip? I still remember the times when I looked at badly photographed cook books or random pictures people snapped with their point-and-shoot camera to go with a recipe they shared. And I gotta ...
Roasted Broccoli & Kale Quinoa Salad
It's almost impossible not to love this salad! It's so good, I keep making double portions in order to have some leftovers for the next days. Why you ask? Well, because it's the perfect combination of grainy quinoa, sturdy kale, a tangy lemon-mustard dressing, crunchy almonds and fresh pomegranate kernels. And has everything a salad needs to have in order to really satisfy me without weighing me down. Perfect for lunch or a light dinner. Easy to prepare. Great for storing if you can't finish it ...
Golden Rice with crispy chickpeas & sweet potato
Crispy spiced chickpeas & roasted sweet potato pieces on a bed of golden with kale. A tangy vegan tahini yoghurt drizzle poured over this flavour bed makes the perfect weeknight meal for a low budget and even less time. We're living in peculiar times. It's been over a month now that we have been practising a kind of self-quarantine here at my house. We only leave the house if absolutely necessary. We've reduced shopping trips to the store to the bare minimum and we make do with ...
Roasted Hokkaido & Kale Fettuccine
Lately, social media talk has been centred on healthy foods, diets and new-years resolutions. And while I think there's merit in the first one (not only in the beginning of a new year though), I don't necessarily believe in the other two. I'm much more prone to creating recipes that are delicious enough to become a favourite all-year round, not just cater to some short-time superficial trend or pressure you might feel. So I'm super happy that my first recipe of this new decade ...
Garlicky Roasted Bell Pepper & Tomato Soup – and a farewell to summer!
It's been a wonderful, sunny and exciting summer! The days have been warm and pleasing. The food on our tables was abundant. Rich in color, smell and taste. But now it's time to say good-bye. To let go of what was and to welcome the new season. As summer leaves us, the days are getting considerably shorter while the nights are getting cooler, everything reminds us of the endless circle of life. Trees that once were strong and vibrant are now shedding their leaves. The colours in nature are ...
