Lemon ‘Cheesecake’ with a hint of Earl Grey
During our vegan challenge, a sweets festival was held here in Budapest. Various vendors set up stalls in one of the main squares and sold their heavenly products to the crowd. We decided to pop by and admire the works of art made out of chocolate and other candy, the beautifully decorated cakes and the stunning macaroons…
Quiche
Quiche is another all time favourite at home. It is great for Sunday brunch, light lunch or even dinner accompanied with a leafy salad. It is very simple to make! The basic ingredients for a quiche are the pastry, eggs and milk or cream. You can then opt for a vegetarian version or add meat if…
Chicken & Prawn ‘Paella’
I am sure you have all heard about the Spanish rice dish called paella. A few years ago, my husband travelled to Barcelona for a conference, and obviously while there, he had to try this dish. He tried it twice; the first time in Girona, in a traditional Catalan restaurant, and the paella was really delicious and full…

Chocolate Cherry & Raspberry Muffins
It’s the season for berries and cherries and an abundance of these amazing fruits means you need to make sure they are put to good use. They are great raw, straight off the tree (or out of the box) or in a fruit salad, but if you are looking for something different, give this muffin…
Greek Yoghurt Cheesecake

Along the years, I have tried and tested various cheesecakes ๐ and have researched several recipes…
Zucchini Boats
When I was a child, I remember I did not like zucchini at all. My mum used to stuff them and put them in the oven or cook them in vegetable broth along with tiny pasta and other chopped up vegetables. In Malta, we call it Brodu bil-qarabagฤงli mimli. I remember I used to eat the filling and…
