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 ...
Greek Watermelon Salad with Mint Dressing
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
