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 ..

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).

Stir fried beef with cashew nuts

Since the middle of October, all I stumble upon is the reminder that Christmas is coming. The christmas markets will open today, and on some cooking blogs one can already feel the holiday spirit. Well, I’m not done with Autumn yet!

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!…

Pasta and meatballs casserole

I have to admit, my cooking lately consisted in most part of some quick sandwiches, and during Easter mostly of peeling and cutting vegetables, so well, nothing really worth bragging about. If you’re in the same situation, I’d shake hands with you! It’s all good and there is a lot of variation, but at some…

Kohlrabi curry with pine nuts and spring onions

My last post is over a week overdue and I feel awful. A fine foodbloger I am. Coming home from work much later doesn’t really leave much time, or energy, to try something new. Especially when you realise you still have to do the shopping. But that is a part of being an adult, right?…
