I made this cake on a whim while procrastinating one day. Baking is always worth the effort, even if you’re pushed for […]

Image description: Large oval pot with pasta shells covered in a roasted cauliflower and melted cheese Cauliflower and cheese is a classic combination, but I prefer the pasta and cheese to be the star. This cauliflower crust provides a super flavourful contrast to the silky sauce. The extra vegetables are optional! This recipe serves two […]

Little intense vegan peanut cookies drenched in a dark chocolate drizzle. They make the perfect afternoon snack! If you aren’t vegan or don’t have the alternatives on hand, it works with butter, milk, any chocolate (side note: omitting the chocolate is NOT optional, unless you are deathly allergic)… but if you have the option to […]

Anyone who knows me knows that I ardently adore salads. I like mine in gargantuan portions, drizzled lavishly with a punchy vinaigrette, brimming with handfuls of fresh summer produce and tufts of herbs. Then, tossed very well – until you do not know where one flavour begins and another ends. Summer salads, served chilled and […]

These were the ultimate treat growing up. My father would often arrive home, a rumpled white paper bag stained with tell-tale splotches of peanut oil in hand. And if that wasn’t enough of a clue, the smell would hit you soon after: pandan, peanuts and the vanilla-sweet whiff of coconut. The waffles themselves are a […]

The combination of apple and toffee has always been delicious, whether in the form of a toffee apple or a caramel and apple tart. Often, however, the apple is overlooked as people favour the intense sweetness of toffee, only eating the apple to assuage their guilt. This recipe, however, places the spotlight on the apple, […]

Having been inspired by Chang’s ‘Fritos Fritters’ from Orange is the New Black, I felt that pasta and junk food is the combination that no one asked […]

I don’t even like gnocchi that much. Of course as a human with taste buds and an appreciation for carbohydrates, I like gnocchi. But I think I’m limiting my own enjoyment of it with my sheer gnocchi-making incompetence. I make gnocchi so frequently that I should just be much better at it, and so haphazardly that […]
Continue ReadingTraditional pancakes are usually made with milk and egg, but it is surprisingly simple, quick, and significantly healthier to substitute a dairy-full recipe for dairy-free. Its also a great way to get rid of black bananas and up your protein intake with incognito peanut butter. These pancakes are thick and spongy, with just the right […]

My favourite foods are kale, turnip and savoy stew, as they are foods that remind me of home. But they are also healthy, cheap, little work and last you a week. In winter the traditional German kitchen is dominated by one-week stews. They are based on a vegetable that is hard or fibrous, like kale, […]
