I clean the carrots ( approximately 800 grams) and chop them in little cubes. Chop and fry 4 garlic cloves, 5 cm of … More Peanut butter 😋
We had an amazing day in Bohuslän, the western coastal region. The landscape is amazing, the weather ideal ( sunny, and around 20-21 degrees). 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
We crossed the famous bridge between Copenhagen and Malmö Friday evening. The sun was shining ( for the 📷) and allowed us to have breakfast outside the following morning. Since then…..💦, but let’s not complain. The Scandinavian people still give us the impression summer is in the air by wearing shorts and sandals. It’s a … More Our first days in Sweden

Wash the vegetables. Chop the cauliflower and outer leaves. Remove the stems from the Swiss … More No carbs tonight
We love Asian food but ingredients are not easy to get here, even without lockdown. Dried Chinese mushrooms are still in my cupboard (they are not at all comparable with dried porcini which have a much stronger flavor). Put 25 grams of dried Chinese mushrooms in warm water for at least 30 mins. Drain and … More Thai food in Italy during lockdown
A lot of recipes come back but always in little different versions and thus it creates variety in the daily cooking. So often, at first sight, a cookbook isn’t really so special but while reading it creates possibility. Jamie Oliver’s books are a perfect example ( or is it just a perfect excuse to buy … More Thai noodle salad
Even after a full day of class, being completely saturated, I love to come home in my kitchen and focus on our dinner. Whether this is considered to be insane, or not, I don’t care, as long as I can enjoy my passion of healthy cooking and eating. For 2p, blend 350 grams of defrozen … More Am I abnormal?
