An easy one-tray dish, perfect for any weekday meal.

Vegetable Spelt Bread

Not only does it look great, it also tastes incredibly delicious. Besides, there's nothing quite like the smell of freshly baked bread in the morning. And when it's accompanied by delicious vegetables such as peas, carrots, zucchini or broccoli, it’s even better.
This bread should be baked in plenty of steam because it needs a high level of humidity for a nice crust. So, it is best to place an oven safe bowl or tray of hot water in the oven. The bread can also be shaped into a round and baked in a closed roasting tin in its own steam. The bread will stay fresh for longer if stored in a stainless steel box or ceramic pot.

Rindergulasch German Beef Goulash

Originating from the medieval Hungary, goulash is a rich stew / soup made of meat and vegetables seasoned with paprika and other spices. It is a common meal predominantly eaten in Europe. It is one of the national dishes of Hungary and a symbol of the country. The Hungarian word for this comforting dish is gulyáshús, from gulyás, means ‘shepherd,’ and hús, ‘meat.’ So it’s basically a stew eaten and made by Hungarian shepherds.
German goulash or Rindergulasch, is usually made with beef, enriched with red wine, but for once, no potatoes added. It is more of a stew than a soup, like classic Hungarian goulash, and usually served with bread dumplings, Spätzle, or egg noodles. Marjoram and oregano are very similar in flavour, size, and texture, so if you don’t have marjoram, which is milder and sweeter, then use oregano instead.
Asparagus Salad with Jamón Serrano and Mini Buffalo Mozzarella
Sunday, March 16, 2025| |

The earthiness of asparagus, creaminess of buffalo Mozzarella and the saltiness of Jamón Serrano work wonders together. This salad can be served either hot or cold, so it’s a good one to have up your sleeve for the asparagus season. The heat destroy the purple pigment, so purple asparagus will eventually lose its colour and turn into deep green. So no worries, if you can't find purple asparagus, simply use the green one. Jamón Serrano can be a bit pricey, iuse normal ham if you want to.
