Chicken in almond-coconut curry
I love to try new cuisines. I find it fascinating how people use the same spices and products differently. I tried my hands on few, and I think the indian cuisine is my favourite. It’s so rich, full of flavours and contains so many spices. Sometimes I catch myself at adding some of them to…

Raspberries and white chocolate cake
You know, in my family there is this unspoken rule, that there has to be a cake, or some other pastry after dinner. It’s normally on Sunday around 3-4pm, where we all would gather with a coffee and a piece of something sweet and just chat. Whenever we visit our relatives we become very aware…

Easy to make ice cream- Rum & Rasins flavour
I remember, when I was a kid, my mum used to make ice cream. I can’t say if she used any ready made mix, but I remember she used lots of milk and a hand mixer. Sometimes she would let me do the work after she prepared all the ingredients. It tasted very milky (obviously).…

Breakfast ideas: toast with brie, the fancy way
You know, they say there are two types of people: morning people, and people who want to slap morning people. I’m definitely not a morning person. But after my first coffee, to tame my grumpiness, there is hope. And there is also one thing I really enjoy: breakfast. Especially those that last a while longer.

Banana cake with cherries
May is definitely a month with the most days off. If planned carefully, and if the weather plays along, you can feel like you hit the jackpot. One of the good things about my company is the fact that we have new fruits delivered every week. But with so many days off, and people taking…

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).
