Chickpeas and spinach curry
I’m sure everyone has that special food we just always have in our cupboards. Something that always comes in handy when we cook, let it be canned tomatoes, mozarella or fresh herbs. For me it’s the can of tomatoes, followed very closely by a can of chickpeas. It’s something I took from my uni days.

Mushroom ragout with Polenta dumplings
It’s been a while since my last post. Longer than I wanted, but the last week was pretty rough on us. We had three different medical conditions in the house and it got even more hectic towards the end of the week. Due to the sleepless nights and pains we even forgot the pancake day!…

Indian lentil soup with coconut milk
In my last post, I mentioned that we are doing a meat and sugar free month. We did this once last year, but beside meat and sugar, we also gave up alcohol for a month. The first few days were Ok, but after that ..

Pears in Parmesan
Another cheese and another recipe. This one a little more fancy, but I think perfect as a starter, or a little snack. Today on the list- Parmesan! I think if I had to choose, I’d say it’s my favourite cheese, along with Grana Padano, also an italian hard cheese. However in comparison to Parmesan

Meatballs not like the others
Another one of very easy and simple dinner ideas. If you’re a feta cheese fan this recipe is for you! It’s one of those things I always have in my fridge. Normally I’d add it to a salad, if it won’t disappear earlier in my mouth during the preparations (which happens most of the time).

As the Autumn starts getting greyer, instead of beautifully colourful, many of my friends complain about the chill weather, shorter days and the fact that winter is coming.

Ratatouille on a bean paste
We didn’t do anything fancy culinary wise for a while. Either we ate something at work and skipped the cooking for the evening, or we just went out. But at some point your wallet just doesn’t share your enthusiasm.

Easy to make breakfast rolls
I don’t know about you, but I love freshly baked bread. Warm and crunchy and that smell. Heaven! It doesn’t take long until the whole loaf is gone. But truth the be told- I’m not an early bird. So going to the bakery early in the morning is a little bit challenging. Other than that…

Pork shoulder with broad beans
Yes, it has been a while, but no, I didn’t give up. I’m still cooking, taking pictures, and wave my hands funnily when I think of the next menu (or food in general). And that did happen often enough the last few weeks. But now that I’m here, I can share my experiments with you!…

Simply tiramisu
I don’t know about you, but I’m a sweet addict. Maybe not all the time, but when I do, there is nothing which stands in the way between me and a cake or a bar of chocolate. The Germans have a perfect word for such people as me, Naschkatze, which means a cat loving to…
