Crunchy homemade spelt crackers
When you like to munch on crackers as much as I do, you learn that it’s far better to start making your own. Why? Because it’s no rocket science, yet the difference between homemade and store-bought is significant. Both health and taste-wise. I’ve recently started using spelt flour. It turns out to be very easy […]
Aromatic arugula soup
This is, by far, my favorite dish from the soup/broth/gazpacho category. It is due to its main ingredient, arugula, which acts and tastes really spectacular even once it’s cooked. The even better news is that you need just a few ingredients and a bit of time to indulge in this festival for the senses. For […]

Onions never cease to amaze me. I may be subjective, as I am a true onion fan. And guess what – when you bake it and mix with oregano and Greek yoghurt, you get a savoury dip you WILL make again! To truly nail this recipe, use the fresh oregano leaves. I’ve made this dip […]
Aromatic saffron chickpea with hazelnuts (vegan)
Most dishes starring chickpeas that I make are very simple to make. This one is no exception. There are many reasons to try this dish, which I would perhaps classify as a vegan goulash.

Savory twisters with capers and fresh rosemary (vegan)
Who says snacks have to be the one-way ticket to gaining weight? These savory twisters with capers and fresh rosemary are abundant in healthy ingredients – yet, they lack no flavor. The recipe is originally vegan. I’ve added nutritional yeast flakes to achieve the cheesy flavor. However, Parmesan cheese can replace the yeast for a […]
