Tomato, Swiss chard, and spinach with almonds
It’s swiss chard season at the community farm where my parents and I are members, so it’s time for another recipe. This dish was so easy to make and really nutritious. We served it with rice on the side, and I added beans for some extra protein. I used Bold Bean’s baked beans (big shout…

Gary’s stir-fried cabbage with garlic and chilli
Cabbage, I’m a big fan. But this is not my favourite way to prepare it. One thing it was: very quick and easy to make. “It’s just not as good as other stuff” – Franny It should have been an Taiwanese inspired dish but my Taiwanese friend, Franny, wasn’t impressed. She gave it a 6/10…

Pasta alla Norma
A stable. A classic. It’s Pasta alla Norma. I have made this recipe many times and one of my fav pasta’s. I think it’s fairly easy to make and for me the best way to prepare the aubergine: in the oven. Besides, in the meantime you can prepare the rest of the recipe and clean…

Mushrooms and chestnuts with za’atar
It’s more of a winter recipe but since the weather is bit like that I thought to give it a go. The only thing is that it’s impossible to find chestnuts around this time of year. Oh well, this one is without. The reason we made this recipe is that we found fresh dragon. I…

Watermelon, green apple & lime salad
Yay summer is back (hopefully)!! Love watermelon but normally wouldn’t make it as a salad for supper. Though I really liked this recipe, the green apple and lime make it very fresh. “Very refreshing and with a nice twist” – Dad I would say the effort to make the dish is average for a salad.…

Carrot salad with yoghurt and cinnamon
It’s time for carrots again! And this recipe is my fav way to prepare them. I have already made it so many times. It’s very low in effort but still quite a unique taste. But before we jump into this week’s recipe. This girl got her first fan mail!!!!! It was a very cute card,…

Nutella sesame hazelnut rolls
Last but not least we had these Nutella rolls as dessert. I was a bit lazy and just bought the pastry dough myself. Just a quick note on using Nutella, even though this is the most popular brand out there it only has 13% hazelnut and think there are other way better chocolate spreads out…

Stuffed courgettes with pine nuts salsa
Next up we have stuffed courgettes. The chefs for this one were Anna and Rachel, so what could possibly go wrong. Jokes aside, they are amazing. The flavour combo of the lemon, garlic and tomatoes is great, but this is definitely not the easiest dish to make. I do like that nothing goes to waste,…

Burrata with chargrilled grapes and basil
We had another girls’ supper night and ended up with even a sleepover. In the following weeks, I will tell you about our thoughts on the starter, main and pudding. Today, we are kicking off with the starter. I don’t know why I initially didn’t rate this recipe very highly. But what a flavour combo!…
