From this first batch, collected right at the beginning of the season, I made an utterly flavorful pesto (you can find the recipe below under the risotto recipe or simply click here to head right to it). It's really simple, no fancy or overly expensive (yes, I'm looking at you pine nuts!) ingredients involved. And it's also incredible versatile, as you can see here or you could use it here instead of the regular basil pesto. For me, that's one of the most important parts in making my own sauces ...

Swirled Wild Garlic Pesto Bread (vegan)
To be honest, baking bread is something I do not do so often. But when I do it makes me truely happy. Working the dough, proofing, kneading, shapeing. All these physical tasks are just so rewarding, don't you agree? If you've never baked your own bread, I promise you, there's nothing to fear. While some recipes and doughs are a bit trickier and do need time and caring, this swirled wild garlic pesto bread is fool-proof and it needs nothing more than a bit of kneading with your regular kitchen ...
Strawberry Mascarpone Coconut Cake & Spring Vibes
Wow! 2020 has been moving fast! It's already spring here and temperatures are starting to rise into the 20°C. But, while we would much rather spend our days at the beach, we're confined to our homes due to the Covid-19 outbreaks around the world. This might be frustrating and annoying, but I also believe that it's an opportunity. A chance to concentrate on what's really important. A chance to really connect with each other, even though we cannot meet up in person. A chance to slow down and take ...
Simple Pea Hummus & a new blog category!
Today I want to share with you, not only this 10-minute recipe for the simplest yet most-delicious pea hummus. I also want to talk to you briefly about my new blog category for simple recipes! Yes, you've hear right! While most of my recipes are indeed simple, as I love straight-forward cooking and easy recipes, I've nonetheless come to the conclusion that one of the reasons why I don't share more with you, is that I make it too complicated for myself to post frequently. As you might have ...
Green Asparagus Soup for cool spring days
I love this time of year! It's usually warm enough during the day to get out the first summer clothes and at night it's still cool and fresh enough to cuddle up and enjoy a warm cup of soup. And my fresh green asparagus soup with spinach and mint is just perfect for this kind of season. It's refreshing, light and, at the same time, comforting and satisfying. Serve it with toasted, crusty bread or eat with a sandwich or wrap for lunch or dinner. When you read through the recipe you'll see that ...
Easy Turmeric Egg Salad
Spring has finally arrived almost everywhere. You can see it in the blooms and greens that are popping up all around us. But also in the food isles and farmers markets. Fresh greens and veggies make up a much bigger majority these days in those places and also in my kitchen. And while I'm slowly transitioning into the warmer times of the year, my body and appetite long for fresh meals, big salad bowls and easily prepared snacks. Spring and, especially, Easter time is known for lots of recipes ...
