After a few years of blogging and looking for other recipes and fusions, I have a large stock of ingredients. Thanks to the organization of the kitchen most of those ingredients are visible in glass containers. So tonight we’ll prepare some buckwheat. For 2p, boil 120 grams of buckwheat al dente in salted water seasoned … More What about buckwheat?
Once a recipe in Ottolenghi’s cookbook ‘Simpel’ has been quoted as ‘S’, you know this will be a quick and uncomplicated recipe. Once docV creates her own version, the preparation becomes even less complicated. 4 garlic cloves, 500 grams of green beans, 250 grams of natural tofu, 1 chili, 1 teaspoon of paprika powder, 1 … More Chraimeh sauce, tofu and green beans
Puff pastry is not on the list of ‘healthy food’ but it’s so delicious. I always loved quiches, but if you prepare a quiche for 2p you don’t want to know how many kcal you’ve eaten, unless you can stop after 1/4 😉. A tarte tatin can contain the same ingredients but without cream or … More Onions, pear and gorgonzola dolce in a ‘tarte tatin’
February and spring is in the air, I love it, but food wise I’m confused. I find some ‘in between’ inspiration in one of my cookbooks ‘ The Green Kitchen at Home’. A fusion of two of their recipes with lots of vegetables and a little twist are a possible compensation to my confusion 😜.Clean … More The Green Kitchen at Home
The last cookbook of Donna Hay cannot get some rest on the shelf. The baba ganoush bowl is an awesome way to prepare eggplant. Cut 2 medium sized eggplants in halves.

Anyway, let’s cook. Chop and fry 4 garlic cloves, 1 carrot, 1 small red onion and 1 chili … More Vegetarian cakes

At the beginning of the year I decided to pay even more attention to healthy eating. I hate dieting if it means elimination. Eating consciously has always been my food philosophy. So I started by asking myself where I could cut kcal without following a real diet : – instead of ‘a drizzle of olive … More Eat consciously
Although new magazines give me more than enough inspiration for daily cooking, I regularly re- inspect my favorite cookbooks. This vegetarian recipe from Jamie Oliver’s cookbook VEG is a perfect combination of comfort and healthy. For 2p, heat a pan (which you can also put in the oven). Melt 20 grams of butter. Bake 4 … More Green mac’n’cheese
Eating healthy is not the same as eating light, but tonight we’ll ignore the ‘light’aspect. Again inspired by Donna Hay, I try some of her falafel recipes. For the falafel, drain 1 can of chickpeas. Put in a small blender. Add 3 chopped carrots, 4 chopped garlic cloves, 1 chopped chili, 4 cm of ginger … More Let’s consume some kcal
