Chop 1 red onion, 4 garlic cloves. Heat a pan with 2 table spoons of olive oil. Pour all the chopped vegetables … More A savory crumble to empty your fridge
I will never leave the market without fresh beetroot as it’s available. I adore the deep warm color, the earthly flavor and the variety of recipes is incredible. Tonight’s dinner is a vegetarian savory pie. I bought 3 medium sized beetroot ( 600-700 grams of weight without the leaves) . The leaves are so fresh … More Beetroot and gorgonzola dolce in full summer
Cold, rainy and dark weather is not exactly what we want in april. Thanks to Oskar we go for a nice walk and earn extra ‘bonus excercise’ to compensate an all inclusive afternoon tea.

One of those is on our plate tonight, some real simple carrot puree with an egg in the middle. This dish was often made by … More Cold, wet and dark weather
Today, I’ll share 2 different recipes with cauliflower as protagonist. Last week, I saw a recipe of fritters, which I remember to have tried already.

Mix 100 grams of almond flour and 100 grams … More Cheese cake in an alternative version
My family associates me with courgettes and pumpkin, although I’m much more than that🙃. A ‘normal’ sized pumkin weighs easily more than 3 kilograms. Once I start one, I have to continue because I know that frozen ready made food isn’t my thing anymore ( it used to be different). Slice the pumpkin in manageable … More Pumpkin soup, pumpkin puree, I can’t resist 😅
The first real cold has arrived, although still sunny and also really windy. After a walk with Oskar, we are ready for warm tea and an upside down pear almond cake. Remove the skin and seeds of 5 little pears. Slice and mix with the juice of 1/2 lemon and the leaves of a few … More Warm and cosy

Iris is taking an official break for 2 weeks. We have several good reasons for staying at home. Although it seems to me that I have a permanent staycation, being off together creates another vibe.
