After living in Italy for a while, I realized that instead of having carbs as main ingredient, I (we) prefer vegetables. This is of course not how most of the traditional Italian main dishes are served. Our Italian friends will disagree with my recipes and will surely prefer old-school ones. Anyway, as docV I have … More DocV style risotto

We love oven fried polenta as a side dish or even as an appetizer. I have some whole wheat polenta in our camper storage, but no oven. Let’s try.

Originally it’s from Nigella Lawson. I … More This is an old one

Walking through Fjallbäcka we even found a fish shop, so our proteins were decided. Nothing better than a side dish with green asparagus, tomatoes and spring onions. Chop and fry 4 … More Our last meal in Sweden

Tonight I bought 2 grill cheeses with chili, each 150 grams, 500 grams of red sweet bell pepper, and baby spinach and arugula. … More Grill cheese is amazingly delicious

With 2 fennels, a Scandinavian blue cheese and 200 ml plant-based cream I can prepare a pasta or a risotto recipe. Iris prefers a risotto, so that’s what I will do.
