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.
