Good food with a twist
So this is probably the first recipe I post with only one ingredient. I wonder if you can still call it a recipe 😉 But that’s really besides the point because this is halloumi and halloumi is everything. It is a white, salty and firm cheese which is perfect for […]
I think it’s about time to post a meatballs recipe; because everybody loves meatballs, am I right? Variations are endless as are the possibilities. These meatballs are Italian inspired and flavoured with sage and lemon. Cooking them in white wine and stock ensures a rich flavour and a perfect texture. […]
This is a very easy, quick and flavoursome side dish or a simple snack with some bread and hummus or aioli. Make sure not to bake it too long so that the cauliflower keeps its crunchiness. You can spice it up with a pinch of chili pepper.

I’m not sure where I first tasted this combination, but I remember immediately falling in love with it: chicken, curry and basil. The first thing I did after that is go home and try it myself. It’s become a kind of a back-up recipe at home whenever I need something quick […]
This a wonderful quick lunch recipe that can be enjoyed warm or cold. The avocado mayonnaise has been a wonderful discovery! Easy to make and oh so delicious! And as with mayonnaise in general, you can customise as you like: make it spicy with some chili pepers or jalapeños, or […]
I guess some translation is in order: quick Italian snacks, says the title. Please forgive me if my Italian is not correct. Blame it on Alessio 😉 Italians and their wide variety of meats are something to behold. Truly delicious! The variations I have included here are a quick and […]
