Homemade Sweet Potato Ravioli

Last week’s weather here in Budapest was not too nice. We had some cold and very cloudy days… the kind of days where you feel like staying under a blanket watching movies all day long. OK I spent a day like this once but then it got a bit boring for me and decided to do…

Roasted Red Pepper & Sweet Potato Soup

Winter is the season of healthy yummy soups. I make soups at least once a week because they are very comforting, easy to make and simply delicious. The soup I make mostly depends on the available produce at the market. This week I felt adventurous and wanted to try something different. I had never made this…

During the holiday season, I guess most of us indulged in too much delicious food and yummy desserts.

Bean Burgers and Homemade Buns

Although Spring is already in full swing here in Budapest, last Sunday the sun took a day off and we had to deal with a very cloudy day and rain showers from time to time. So, we decided to spend a day at home, and take the opportunity to try out something new in the…

Aubergine Steak with Sweet Potato

Most Saturday mornings I take a trip to the nearby farmers’ market to stock up for the week. By the end of the week, I am usually short on fresh vegetables. This week, I ended up with an aubergine and a sweet potato amongst a few other things. A while ago, I came across an interesting recipe…
