Delicious vegetarian recipes to spark your senses
Don’t you love soups which are fantastic both served hot or cold? Me too! Today I am sharing a recipe for such soup – aromatic ginger & zucchini soup with tomato and spices.

The other day I had little time to prepare a quick lunch. As it usually happens in these situations, I turned to one of my safe-meals, but not to a specific dish per se, but a cooking method. I had a bag of pre-cooked and frozen chickpeas, some frozen peas, fresh carrots and ginger. While […]

If only I had a dime every time I was asked at work, during meals of course, “When do you find the time to prepare this?!”. Honestly, I would have plenty of dimes! Why was I asked this on so many occasions? Because I almost always bring my own lunch to work (and have been […]
