You love cheese? Great, so do I! Simply use your favourite cheese, add a few grapes, nuts and a light vinaigrette and you have the tastiest salad for the lunch: a grape and cheese salad. It brightens up the mundane of cold season with its freshness and variety and also provides a portion of vitamins. The salad tastes great with classic cheeses such as Edam, Cheddar, Emmentaler or Gouda. If you like it more intense, try it with blue cheese or goat cheese.

This tender, moist miso banana cake with walnuts (pecans are great too) is so easy and fun with an Asian twist. The miso works surprisingly well, giving the classic banana cake a deeper, robust umami flavour that really elevates the cake. The mascarpone cream and caramel walnuts are completely optional, but I thought it's a cake, so a little icing won't hurt.

If you’re a fan of traditional seafood boil or the viral onion boil that has recently been circulating on youtube and tiktok, or simply because you love eggs, garlic and butter, you need to try this soft egg boil. The preparation is slightly different than the traditional boil, but it's equally buttery and downright delicious. The sauce comes together in minutes, and is so saucy and flavourful you will want to enjoy every morsel soaked up with bread, rice or pasta. If you ain't fancy for soft-boiled eggs, simply hard boil them.

Thursday, January 02, 2025Melanzane a Funghetto in Neapolitan, or eggplants cooked in the style of small mushrooms, a quick side dish that’s simple, quick to prepare and so delicious! You can serve them as a side, or with pasta or as a topping with shaved Parmesan for crostini. Although the name of this recipe contains “funghetto” which means “mushroom” in Italian, it contains no mushroom at all, it means that when the eggplant chunks are sautéed they look like little mushrooms and have the texture of mushrooms.

A meatless and gluten-free take on Turkish koftas / meatballs with finely grated pumpkin and lots of warming spices. The creamy avocado sauce is the perfect balance to the aromatic, crunchy kofta. A great recipe that both vegetarians and carnivores would enjoy. I have shaped kofta into sausage form, but you can shape them into balls or patties.

May the New Year bless you all with health, wealth, and happiness!
A festive and refreshing arugla salad loaded with raspberries, pomegranate arils, creamy burrata cheese, shaved black truffle, and drizzled with a truffle balsamic glaze and argan oil!
Burrata is a special form of mozzarella that is characterised by its creaminess. Alternatively, you can also use mozarrella di bufalo or just regular mozzarella. As the name suggests, the mozarrella di bufalo is made from buffalo milk instead of cow's milk. It also tastes creamy, slightly salty and tangy.
