I bought a nice portion of fresh peas and fava beans on the market. Shelling them is a really mindful thing, although you can have good frozen ones instead if you lack time. I decide to remove only the outer part, as they are so fresh. My total eatable portion is approximately 500 grams. Blanch … More Fresh peas and fava beans
One of my best friends once told me : green shoes look great with almost every outfit, because green is the color of nature. I think the same counts for food : green vegetables create the most attractive dishes, especially in this season where you find the most luscious color of nature everywhere. Today’s dinner … More Beautiful green
My family and friends know I am a big fan of squash, the real good stuff with lots of flavor. Tonight’s recipe is an experiment. I had 2 little ones ( green skin and orange meat) in my storage. One showed some signs of ‘necrosis’ so I decided to bake them in the oven. Remove … More No carbs tonight
Traveling in a campervan becomes more challenging in colder weather, and especially when it’s not only colder but also wet. We crossed a few more borders and went up north again to collect our new little friend Ziggy, a young street dog who found us on one of our city walks. He now has a … More It’s autumn
We are still in Norway, going further north. Let’s hope the weather improves so that we can admire nature at its best. Today I will prepare some pasta with green ingredients. I found some good looking broccoli, 2 mature avocado’s, some sugar snaps. Heat the simmer pan filled with salted water until boiling. Add 160 … More More green
Today I check the food storage to find out what to prepare with a bunch of fresh carrots. The peanut butter looks at me and will become the flavor of our dinner.

We spend the morning looking for trolls ( Thomas Dambo is amazing) and visiting the cathedral with the royal graves in Roskilde. With a that rain, we decide to visit the interesting modern museum Louisiana which remains open until 10pm. We … More Moroccan spices in Denmark
Now we are really going on our 5, almost 6 months of touring with Gloria, our campervan. It’s weird to leave our amazing house and Roquefort ( our almost 15 y old cat). So 🙏 that our lovely neighbours, Monica and Paolo, will look after them. I really enjoyed my last day of the school … More Grateful
Oven roasted vegetables keep their shape and intensify in flavor, in comparison with cooking on a stove ( unless you use a lot of oil or fat). And thus, everything becomes a bit mushy, as in a stew ( because I don’t want to use an excessive amount of fat). In this recipe with eggplant, … More I try not to miss an oven
I brought some curry paste and coconut milk on our ‘rehearsel’trip. Any kind of curry paste will work, but I personally prefer red curry paste or massaman curry paste. Chop 4 garlic cloves ( this remains the best base for any docV recipe🙃), 1 red onion and a piece of ginger ( 4cm). Fry in … More Easy vegetarian curry recipes
