There's a bit of melancholy hanging in the air when I think about this salad. It's already the end of summer and watermelon and tomatoes are still offered in abundance, but deep within I also know that this might be the last time I'll fill my plate with this refreshing summer salad. For this year at least. The sweetness of the garden-ripe heirloom & cherry tomatoes. The lovely, cool freshness of diced watermelon. A tangy mustard-lemon-olive dressing and lots of fresh mint. All of this ...

Extra-creamy Vegan Butternut Squash Pasta
A couple of days ago, my mom noticed that she found way more recipes for sweets and baked goods on my blog than for savoury dishes. This is gonna change right now! With this extra-creamy vegan butternut squash pasta I give you a recipe for an easy weeknight dinner that's both, super easy to prepare and utterly delicious. Also, it lends itself perfectly for meal-prep. You can roast the squash on the weekend, make the sauce and store it in the fridge for up to 5 days. The same holds true for the ...
Vegan Moroccan Sweet Potato Stew
A hearty, savoury stew can make my heart sing. Especially on the cooler days of the year! There's just something so comforting in the creamy goodness of the sweet potatoes snuggling up with some chickpeas in a tomato-based sauce. I use the Middle Eastern Baharat spice mix for this dish. It has just the right amount of spiciness in my opinion, but if you want a bit more punch feel free to add extra chillies or chilli powder. Ras el hanout or Garam Masala works well too, if you can't find Baharat ...
Summer Tomato Zucchini Galette (Vegan)
Oh, boy! Where has the time gone... It feels like summer has just arrived and at the same time we're running head on into fall. But before we warm ourselves inside out with hot stews and hearty, fall salads, let's soak up summer once more and make the most of those super ripe tomatoes and endlessly growing zucchinis. Fun fact: did you know that zucchini comes from zucchina, which means tiny squash in Italian? And that courgette, which is often used synonymously for zucchini, has a French origin? ...
Strawberry & Asparagus Spring Salad
Spring is in full bloom! Which means strawberry and asparagus season is full on. Two of my favorite spring products. And what's better than combining seasonal produce to make a delicious lunch or dinner that reflects the season and makes you happy from the inside out? Yes, you're right! I'm actually putting strawberries into my salad. They don't only add extra freshness and sweetness to this leafy spring salad, they're also the perfect counterpart for the lightly charred, salted asparagus and ...
Beetroot Buckwheat Patties (vegan & glutenfree)
Finally! These versatile Beetroot Buckwheat Patties have been sitting in my drawer forever! Some of you have been asking me for this recipe after eating them here at the camp. Others have asked me for ideas on what to make of buckwheat without even knowing these vegan and glutenfree patties existed. To all of you, and to the many of you who might have never thought of making vegan patties or even cooking with buckwheat, I have to say: these are exactly what you waited for. They are crispy, ...
