During the past months, I have been testing new recipes while also enjoying some of our favourites which you can find on this blog. We really enjoy recipes with Mexican flavours, and think they are great at any time of day. We have enjoyed many such dishes, from breakfast burritos to vegan tacos, and the…

Vegetarian Moussaka
Recipes for moussaka vary a lot between countries and places of origin. It is a dish popular around the Levant, Balkans, Turkey and Greece. Each country has its own way of preparing and serving it. My recipe below is not traditionally from one place or the other and I guess my version is a combination…
Roasted Cauliflower Casserole
The change in season also brings about a change in the way we eat. We look forward to more soups, curries, casseroles and other heartwarming dishes. For this dish, forget steamed cauliflower, which I personally find is tasteless, boring and often doesn’t smell very appetizing. Here, it is all about layers of flavour, which can…
Classic Apple Pie
During our holiday in Bavaria a couple of weeks ago, apple season was at its peak. Our family there has a couple of apple trees in their garden and the fruit was pretty abundant. 🍏🍎 Seeing all this, I asked whether I could prepare an apple pie for them and they gladly agreed. Apple pie…
Carrot, Chickpea & Tahini Salad
Light, fresh and easy to prepare meals are the way to go during the hot Summer days. I am always trying out new stuff and trying to diversify our choice of ingredients to keep things interesting and delightful and this recipe became a favourite over the past few months. This salad includes a combination of…

Muesli Breakfast Cookies
Breakfast is often said to be the most important meal of the day. For some people, like my husband, the day won’t start if he does not have a proper breakfast first thing in the morning. On the other hand, others like me find it hard to eat as soon as they wake up. From…
Vegan Seaweed Burger
Vegan burgers can be as interesting as you want them to be. You can experiment with various beans, lentils and other legumes as a base and then add a flavour twist to them. We were recently out and about and passed by a food truck selling seaweed burgers. We were intrigued, unfortunately we had already…
Homemade Teriyaki Sauce
A quick stir-fry dish is always great for mid-week dinner at home when I am tight on time. Our fridge is always stocked with fresh vegetables or you always find a packet of frozen vegetables which are also suitable for such a dish in my freezer. A packet of tofu and a packet of soba…
Baked Samosas
A samosa is a pastry pocket with a spicy filling inside which is then deep fried or baked. They are stuffed either with meat or vegetables, and flavoured with a variety of spices. Depending on the region of origin, these may include garlic, ginger, coriander seeds, cumin seeds, mustard seeds, turmeric powder and chili powder….
