Sounds too good? Keep on reading.

I got this requested on Instagram by this lovely girl who is currently living in a dorm and she is sometimes sick of the mensa food. She has nothing but a kettle and she is sick of salads too. No…

Quick Salt and Pepper Roasted Almonds

I have finally moved the domain of the website! Wo-hoo. Now I have to be a cvasi web developer. Wo-hoo.

But in the meanwhile, I will continue posting here up until I finish building the final version of the website.

I woke up in full keto cravings this morning. I really craved fish and avocado and nuts and coconut oil. That only lasted until noon but it gave me enough time to make these almonds…

Melting potatoes

Stop treating your potatoes as a side. Make a main out of them. Next to a green leafy salad, it is delicious!

I have stumbled across this technique randomly and it’s a potato life changer. One basically needs to roast the potatoes in the oven until golden brown and then add chicken stock to it until all the liquid evaporates. Life changer. They melt into your mouth while being all crispy and…

Frikadeller (Danish Meatballs)

Woke up in full hygge mood today! Maybe it was because of the slight rain that poured or I just need comfort but it made me remember my days in Copenhagen few months back.

And I don’t know how are you guys when travelling but for me it’s a constant rush into trying all the things, exploring randomly, enjoying the city at its best. I am not a big fan on the touristic places, in fact I absolutely…

Kale chips

I might have bought a kilo of kale and I might still post about kale another week from now.

But kale is delicious and nutritious so one shouldn’t mind a little bit (too much) of kale recipes.

Wanted for a while to try the kale chips and I finally did it! It is good buuuut they kind of have a bitter after taste that I am not sure if normal or I just baked them wrong. I tried several batches, some…

Happy Monday!

And how else if not with this nourishing savory mushroom and kale oatmeal? I don’t know about you but I spent the whole weekend in bed only to wake up today (finally) full of energy again. So by 10 AM I have dinner cooking on the stove, breakfast cooked, photographed and edited. I have a full day today and I am looking forward to!

But back to our sheep before I deviate. I didn’t…

Quick Baked Beans with Kale

Not sure how is your Saturday but to me it usually means cleaning or laundry or both. And naturally, after hours of labouring one’s least wish is complex cooking. I mean, not that I cleaned or did anything today but since I had this can of chilli beans I bought by mistake and shit tons of kale I baked beans with kale. Semi-healthy and damn quick.

Ingredients:

1/2 onion

2 cloves garlic

1 can of…

Confit Byaldi (Disney Style Ratatouille)

How about a pretty ratatoille to motivate you for the rest of the week?

This recipe was cooked and shot a while ago when it was still summer for Carticica Practica, a food magazine in Romania. As a child, me and my mum used to collect the mother magazine, Revista Practic and devour it together. We learnt, we discovered, we cooked.

A while ago and through the grace of Instagram, I got in contact…

Roast Veggie Feast

There is nothing a quick cheeky roast can't do on a cold Sunday afternoon 🍂

It’s Sunday! It’s cold! It’s roast time!

I literally grabbed all the veggies I found on hand, tossed them with some walnut oil, pomegranate molasses salt and pepper and in they went for 30 minutes while I boiled and mashed some creamy potatoes.

I have also made some sort of olive-herb paste to go with it and it was delicious! Cold by the time I ate, because dedication to this blog but nothing a…

Roasted Cauliflower Autumn Salad

Just because it is autumn and the vegetable abundance seems to fade away doesn’t mean that you don’t have to enjoy a colorful plate of food. You need all those nutrients to fight the upcoming flu season and to ease the body in adapting to the winter season.

This is my 4th Berlin cold season and if you are from here or live in any other country that gets 6 months of greys and colds then you’ll…

Bavarian Soft Pretzels

Sorry for the slight absence. Things have been a little overwhelming lately and I tried my best to cope with everything. But I am back and I am back with warm soft pretzels.

I don’t know why but for some reason I’ve been intimidated by this recipe. Wanted to try it for years, never managed to and for no good reason. But really it’s such an easy one.

Potato Lángos

What is more comforting than carbs with carbs? Lángos with potatoes. Or bread with potatoes.

Diabetes aside, something exciting is happening next weekend and I have to cook Hunagarian food for around 100 people. Meaning that my whole house smells of goulash and lángos in anticipation and in preparation.

I didn’t worry about the lángos recipe, we have it as well in Romania only that we do not…
