You've probably tried porridge, am I right? But have you ever tried savory porridge? Usually, you can always lure me in with a warm bowl of comforting creamy oats topped with some fruit, nuts and maple sirup. But once in a while I need a breakfast that's hearty and yet less heavy than the traditional savory plates. I started eating this salty version of my favorite breakfast bowl during my pregnancy when I stopped eating sugar and wheat 2 months before my due date and it became one of my go-to ...

Everyday Einkorn Pancakes
Who said pancakes are for weekends only? Naturally weekend breakfasts are perfect for extended family breakfasts, with the obligatory batch of pancakes or waffles, of course.

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.

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.
