Pasta pomodoro with baked ricotta
This pasta dish uses a basic
tomato sauce, which I have used in other recipes as well. Combined with the
baked ricotta that I have also made before, only with a slight twist to it this
time (I added sundried tomatoes to the mix).

Crispy Duck with Oranges
I have always been scared of making duck. Always thought it is a very complicated, difficult and long process to get that crispy effect of the skin and perfectly soft, melt-in-the-mouth kinda meat. But I tried and it turns out it’s dead easy and doesn’t take much time at all! Why did I not know this before?!

Milk Cookies
These are treacherously delicious, dangerously addictive, absolutely not good for your diet but totally worth it!
No need to say more.

Chocolate Granola
Something a little different this time. Breakfast time. Homemade granola, tasty and healthy at the same time. And most importantly – you control what you put in it.

Lentil Cream Soup
Winter has decided to make a comeback and it looks like it is here to stay for a while. No better meal for a cold winter day than a hearty, nutritious and filling lentil cream soup. Winter is the time for soups, especially those thick ones, served really hot.

Tuna Ragout
I admit, this is not the most fancy or sophisticated meal and definitely not as photogenic as some of the other stuff I try to make. But, it is wholesome and nutritious, simple and easy to prepare and just perfect for those busy days when you just don’t have a lot of time to prepare dinner. And I tend to have a lot of those lately.

Chicken with Yogurt Sauce
And to be more specific – chicken with deliciously refreshing Greek yoghurt, spring onions, green chili and mint.

Banana Cake
Homemade cakes – love baking them, love eating them! My guilty pleasure. I always try to involve some fruit, so I feel a little bit less guilty about the pleasure (don’t know if banana counts though…). It is also the one and only way to get my hubby to eat some fruit – put it in a cake and he’ll eat it!

Baked Meatballs with Feta Cheese
Who doesn’t like meatballs? I know I do. But I was thinking of new ways of making them, with a little twist. I heard of meatballs with cheese before, so I decided to explore that a little further.

Spinach & Ricotta Cannelloni
Perhaps another idea for Christmas. For the ones who are not so fond of meat and like delicious, but light meals. What made me think of this one as a Christmas dish?

Christmas Cookies
Christmas cookies are the perfect way to celebrate the holiday season and are a family favorite they wait for all year long. And what better smell during the holiday season than that of freshly baked gingerbread cookies and a Christmas tree that has just been put up.

Steak with Red Wine Sauce, Mashed Potatoes & Celeriac
I guess it is time for some festive recipes. Christmas is around the corner and I know that most mums/grandmothers (wifes, girlfriends, or dads, grandfathers, boyfriends, etc.) are already thinking what to serve their families for Christmas dinner. Over the coming weeks I will try to give you some ideas for delicious, nice-looking, but still fairly easy to cook possible Christmas foods.

French Onion Soup
French onion soup is a hearty soup that is perfect for those cold winter nights. I’m firmly of the belief that no matter what ails you in the realm of the kitchen, onion soup can cure it.

Cinnamon Rolls
Who doesn’t love the smell of freshly baked goods early in the morning?! I sure do. These cinnamon rolls you can make the night before and bake the next morning. Perfect!

Spiced Pumpkin Soup
Like I said last time - it’s pumpkin time! Time for pumpkin carving and the only logical next step: pumpkin soup.

Pumpkin Cookies with Chocolate Glaze
It’s pumpkin time! It’s time for Halloween, pumpkin carving, pumpkin soup, pumpkin pie, pumpkin cookies! I always buy 1 big pumpkin at the beginning of the season, cut up the edible part into cubes and freeze them in different sized zip lock bags. This always encourages me to find new recipes with pumpkin in them. Pumpkin soup is always a must for me during the Halloween season! But let me start with pumpkin cookies.

Curry Tortillas
Perfect for lunch, as a snack or a starter. I realize there is nothing really innovative about this dish, it is ridiculously simple and easy to make, but it’s always an idea that maybe some people reading this haven’t thought of yet.

Grilled Beef with Mint Marinade & Sauce
Most people cook meat week in, week out. Pork, lamb, beef, chicken – we all cook them. However, it can get fairly tricky not to fall into the routine of making your meat the exact same way every single time. A great idea to keep a nice amount of variety in the meat department is to use marinades and rubs.
