Lentils are a staple ingredient in my pantry. Since I rarely cook meat at home, I very often opt for these versatile legumes. You can very easily substitute ground meat for lentils in various recipes. Some people think that they are bland, however it all depends on how you cook them. I generally prefer to…

Fudgy Chocolate Balls
I have recently posted the recipe for Cranberry Cashew Bites. I made them a couple of times now as they are great to snack on and can satisfy a sweet tooth without having additional sugars. This week I made something similar using different ingredients. I used hazelnuts and almonds as the main ingredients here and…
Baked Falafel
Chickpeas remind me of my childhood. I remember there was an old lady, who used to come by my school at the end of the day, selling fresh chickpeas when they were in season. She would have picked them up from her family’s fields that same morning. She would be standing there, a couple of…
Cranberry Cashew Bites
I have been testing out various sweet recipes recently, which obviously meant that we have had to eat all of these experiments!

German-style Soft Pretzels
I have been to Germany several times now, mostly visiting my husband’s family. In the morning, they often spoil us with warm Pretzels, a selection of cold cuts and cheeses. When on holiday, they are the best thing that you could ever want accompanied by a cup (or two!) of strong drip coffee. I was…

Savoury Cornbread
Until recently I had never tried cornbread. Of course I had heard of it before but it is not popular at home or here in Hungary. We were recently invited to a friends’ house and they offered us cornbread. It was fluffy, moist and super delicious. My husband and I really liked it.. a lot!…
Red Lentil Curry & Homemade Naan Bread
Indian-inspired curries are a staple of our diet. I make them all year round and I like to vary them according to the fresh local produce. Most of the time, these meals tend to be vegetarian dishes and very often they are also vegan. This is the simplest curry dish I have ever made and…
