Just as easy as delicious. Strudel is a very popular pastry in Central – Europe, both the sweet and the savoury versions. For me, it’s a comfort food and also the manifestation of a Sunday lunch at my Grandparents. My Grandma made the pastry all by herself, even when it was already available in the supermarkets. I don’t have the skills or the time, therefore I just bought filo pastry sheets, so it takes very little time to prepare this delicious dessert, around 40-50 minutes from scratch. Ingredients: 6 filo pastry sheets (for 2 strudels) 6 medium apples (not too …

I’m always on the look out for healthy and vegetarian nibbles. Bobcat is a very picky eater, he currently doesn’t eat any fresh fruits or vegetables apart from a little banana and some tomato. No matter how creative and persistent I am, he just won’t eat them. Therefore, I’m keen to try new things just to make him eat some more natural fibre, vitamins and minerals. So when Nim’s asked me to review their product range I got excited. I was already a big fan of the veggie crisps available in the supermarkets, but they are all too salty for a …
I fell in love with farro a few years ago and it was love at first taste. Similar to (and often interchangeable) pearl barley and spelt, but it’s more chewy. I love it for its neural taste. I only used it in salads so far, more to explore with soups. I normally buy the quick cook version, otherwise it needs soaking (don’t have time for that, nor am I so well organised. More into impulsive cooking ?). For vegetarians and vegans it’s a great source of extra protein and iron but also an excellent source of high-fibre too. This salad is …
Once you tried this chocolate cake you won’t bother with complicated recipes, trust me 🙂 As a busy mum of two I simply can’t afford to spend hours in the kitchen. Saving time whenever I can, is essential for me. I baked this cake as an emergency cake for the first time (after burning another one…). When you need a quick easy to prepare and tasty cake, this recipe comes really handy. This chocolate cake is a simple but rich option and it’s even vegan. No eggs or milk needed. The preparation takes only 5 minutes, nothing else needed but …
This gorgeous salad is one of my long time favourites, really should have shared the recipe long ago! I can safely call it a full meal as it’s so fulfilling and flavoursome. Full of vitamins, protein and makes a perfect midweek meal. We have this almost every week not only because I love it, but also because hey… it’s a salad, so takes no time to prepare it. It still surprises me how everyone loves it whenever I serve it to guests, as for me it’s such a regular dish. It works very well in wintertime too when you just …
It’s such a lovely and easy meal. Tastes like summer 🙂 I love it freshly prepared with a slice of rye bread, my husband prefers it with piece of grilled chicken and should Bobcat have a picky day (again) then I just blend his portion into a sauce and serve it with pasta and cheese. Voila, fresh and healthy dinner for everyone in 45 minutes. The most important is not to overcook the veggies. I cook them only until they still keep some of their firmness. This way they are going to preserve more vitamins and the individual vegetable pieces …
