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 ...

Wild Garlic & Asparagus Risotto
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
