Sicilian Eggplant
This eggplant dish is so yummy and can be used in many ways: On top of pasta, heaped onto crusty pieces of baguette, sourdough or ciabatta (bake the bread in the oven with olive oil beforehand for extra deliciousness). You can serve it with couscous and toasted, slivered almond pieces or else eat it with…

Cranberry Beef Ragout
I love the combination of tender beef with a fruity sauce. Plums, orange, dates and cranberries are all great examples of pairing matches that compliment the beef excellently. Today I settled on cranberries. The beef is slow cooked and harmonised perfectly with the rich tomatoey, cranberry infused sauce. I served the sauce with pasta but…

Lemon Tuna Pasta
This dish is fast and easy. It has a delicious lemon creaminess about it which contrasts nicely with the tuna. You’ll find yourself going back to this recipe again and again as it can basically be prepared while the water for your pasta is on the stove, heating up. I like to use farfalle pasta…

Red Pepper Pan
This is another quick fry up in one pan. It’s packed with taste and the red peppers even get a nice char on them if you make sure the pan is good and hot when you’re tossing them around the pan. Serve with my recipe for date dip and sourdough bread for an easy dinner…

Fast Beans
You might have noticed that I like cooking one-pan dishes a lot. They’re fast, uncomplicated, full of flavour and (almost most importantly): The clean-up is kept to a bare minimum. This is a mix between baked beans and shakshuka. It‘s a healthy way to fill anyone, serve with a simple green salad if you have…

Halloumi Protein Pan
A great recipe for anyone who can or can not cook well! There’s no skill whatsoever required, the flavour packs a real punch and there’s a good 50g of protein in the meal. Eat as is or serve with sourdough bread. This meal is so quick and will leave you planning to buy the ingredients…

Date Dip
This is a fantastic recipe for anyone who loves to spread thick layers of creamy dip on top of freshly homemade bread from the best bakery you know. Sourdough if possible! It’s otherwise great served on the side of roasted veges with a fresh, green salad on the side. I promise it will become one…

Lamb for dinner
This one might be hard to decipher from the photo but it is YUM-MY so I’ll break it up for you: Autumn slow cooked lamb, roasted pumpkin and mushrooms with melted feta pieces, orange and coriander cous-cous. This was dinner tonight and no one (!) was disappointed! I know the lamb takes a bit longer…

Quinoa Risotto
I didn’t have any risotto rice in the pantry today but it seemed like one of those days where a comforting, warm rice dish would be a good idea for dinner. I decided to improvise and experiment a little with things I did have: Quinoa, white beans, chickpeas, Parmesan. I settled on a risotto-like dish,…

Dry Chilli Fry
This is another one of those perfect weeknight meals that is easy to put together and leaves everyone feeling satisfied. It’s a drier version of chilli con carne, there are no tomatoes in it but there’s still the sweetness from the tomato paste and the small addition of sugar. I‘m only including the recipe for…

Veg and Meatball Tray Bake
This is probably not the most „photo-pretty“ dish but the combined flavours pack a real punch, it’s filled with deliciously succulent eggplant and always leaves the kids particularly happy. I’ve used whatever vegetables I had in the fridge here, so feel free to experiment with whatever takes your fancy! Be careful not to cook the…

Figs for One
This dish is SO easy and SO unbelievably delicious. It’s often the dishes with the least ingredients that become my favourites! You could share this with someone but it wouldn’t at all be my recommendation. Buy some sourdough bread and use it to soak up the delicious juices that will be on the bottom of…

Miso Beets Salad
This dish probably doesn’t look or sound all that interesting but it’s the simplicity of it which makes it so superb. There are few ingredients which means even more attention needs to be paid when prepping them and especially with the seasoning. In my house this salad serves 1 person for dinner, as a side…

Zucchini Lemon Tagliatelle
We’re not big zucchini fans in my house. I still cook and bake with it but it’s never greeted particularly warmly at the dinner table. Our weekly farmers market had beautiful organic zucchinis on the weekend so I bought two and decided to find a way to incorporate them into a pasta dish which made…

Smoked Tofu with Pak Choi
I love tofu but I’m never really sure how healthy it is. On the one hand it’s a great meat substitute, on the other hand it is highly processed. In any case I try not to cook with it too often and always go for the organic tofu when I do buy it. This is…

Mia’s Orange Beef
Mia has been away in Barcelona for the past two weeks and I knew she’d be starving for a good meal when she returned home! I spent awhile thinking about what she might have missed in particular and decided that a good combination of two of her favourite ingredients (oranges and beef fillet) might be…

Sylt Salad
Tomato mozzarella salad is delicious, don’t get me wrong. Sweet tomatoes, mild mozzarella and fresh basil – it’s a summer classic. And yet, every time I eat it, I feel like it has so much more potential. There are missing elements, almost too much simplicity to it. So on holiday one Easter on the beautiful…
