It’s finally hot in the UK! After what felt like an eternity, we finally got our share of sunshine. With raising temperatures I feel like cooking elaborated dishes is put to the side. I crave quick, flavoursome yet nourishing meals. This flavoursome spinach and walnut pesto hits the spot for me! What’s to…

Low effort *freezable* chocolate cookies
Freezable cookies to prep ahead of a lazy day when you really need that last minute dessert.
Bougie rhubarb crêpes to impress
This is a real crowd pleaser. Those rhubarb crêpes are deliciously sweet, a little tangy, just the right amount of spicy. The addition of ginger makes it warming and fiery giving the recipe a little unexpected kick. Rhubarb and rose petals take it from good and modest to ‘oh yes, give me more’….
The best courgette soup
I will be honest. I had those two sad courgettes in my fridge looking at me every time I opened the door and be disappointed that yet, again- I had chosen some other vegetable. I am really sorry, courgettes, your time has come at last! Delicious courgette soup you can make in no time
*Dutch baby* huge pancake
This is a very lavish, weekend breakfast. Sure, it takes more time than simply having a granola but it is also surprisingly low-key: all you do is make the batter and then bake it all in one batch so it saves you the time it takes to fry individual pancakes. No resting time either, so as soon as the oven is hot, you are good to go! Literally! Throw it in and come back 20 minutes later to enjoy the most spectacular breakfast you had this week.
*One pot* gnocchi supper
This is one of my favourite, relaxed dinners to make mid-week. In about half an hour you get to enjoy a lovely warm bowl of gnocchi in aromatic sauce and you sort out the next day’s lunch for work.
Ginger nuts *Dutch* biscuits
I came across ginger nuts or kruidnoten biscuits when reading a fabulous book called ‘On the Bright Side. The New Secret Diary of Hendrik Groen’. And I just couldn’t resist making them! This is perhaps the first time when I became the victim of compulsive baking. Quite a new thing to me but yet, I only turned 30 few months ago so I am sure I will get used to it.
Quick *miso* pasta – comfort food
Some days you just need an easy, comforting meal after a long day at work. Well, this one works quite well if you ask me.
