Green peas & mint soup

in Savoury, Taste -

The Sunday before I left for Paris, we had  two of my favourite people over for dinner. Since I hadn’t seen them in a while, I had a spectacular meal planned- in my head and in my fridge. But that was also the Sunday we decided to spend lazily, ditching our plans and our phones. […]

Spicy carrot soup

in Savoury, Taste -

One of the (few) things I enjoy about cold weather is my craving for comfort food. Most specifically, my craving for soup. I absolutely LOVE making and eating soups!  As with most of my cooking, this has also been influenced by my mom: the woman can turn just about anything into a delicious soup and […]

Chicken, coconut & kaffir lime soup

in Savoury, Taste -

When I eat out, Asian cuisine is often my go-to. Even though my favourites are Thai and Korean, I am also very happy to have alternatives, most often medleys of recipes and flavours from different regions. Most of the time, I go for a dish that will incorporate soba noodles, lime and coconut.

Mandarine, beet & pistachio barley salad

in Savoury, Taste -

Colourful and filled with flavour and textures, this mandarine, beet & pistachio barley salad is a super star all around.  It’s not always clear to me how a recipe comes to happen; often it’s something I crave or miss- usually my mom’s food or a dish I’ve tried in a restaurant and left a lingering […]

Cinnamon & lemon mini apple pies

Fall baking can’t get any easier than these cinnamon & lemon mini apple pies with they buttery, fragrant filling and crunchy sweet crust.   Fall is probably my favourite time to bake; after a long summer, which is mostly spent devouring fresh vegetables and fruit, merely tossed with some extra virgin olive oil, fragrant herbs […]

Baked chickpeas with capers, olives & orange

These simple and delicious baked chickpeas with capers, olives & orange only need friends to share with and lots of crusty bread.  Of all pulses, chickpeas are easily my favourites. Their smooth taste makes them irresistibly versatile and a great addition to so many dishes from silky hummus and veggie burgers to chunky soups and fragrant […]

Hazelnut & raisin olive oil cookies

in Desserts, Taste -

These hazelnut & raisin olive oil cookies are sweetened by petimezi (grape molasses) and baked until soft and a little crunchy around the edges.  Last Saturday, I had the great joy to once again take photos at Oliveology’s cooking workshop. It’s no secret I have a huge soft spot for Marianna’s shop; everything is so […]

Food for thought

in Food for thought, Inspiration -

Balancing between winter and spring, this Food for thought has a spinach pie to die for, great books, great words and penguins too! Spring has made a timid yet quite powerful appearance in London in the last few days. The days are bright & the nights pleasantly crisp and in the afternoon the light lingers on […]

Food for thought

in Food for thought, Inspiration -

And… for this Friday’s trick… I’m bringing Food for Though back! I so loved that little compilation of all things random or not, from all over the web.  And then suddenly things got really busy. I felt I had little time to go through articles properly, to really read and think about them so that I could […]
