Everyone knows pasta with tomato sauce but how many of you know or have ever made pasta with pumpkin sauce? I would guess that not too many of you 🙂 Most people associate pumpkin with soups. However, pumpkin can be used to conjure up many other, equally delicious dishes, such as the one from the…
If you like the intense flavour of homemade borscht, you must try this recipe. Quite recently, I shared a recipe for beetroot leaven. I made the leaven because I always like adding it to the borscht. Homemade borscht made the right way tastes amazing. By using a large amount of beetroot, other vegetables and herbs,…

Vegetable pate is my latest favourite thing to eat. When I told my husband that the pate that he was eating was made entirely from vegetables, he didn’t believe me 🙂 The pate differed neither in taste nor in colour from a meat pate after a first glance and bite. I used mushrooms and kidney…
Falafel is a vegan dish very popular in Arab countries. It is prepared from chickpeas or beans, shaped into balls coated in sesame.

The basis of a good pork chop is good quality meat. Another very important thing that is related to this meat is that it should be well pounded and marinated beforehand. With thicker pieces of pork, pounding the meat properly can be a hard work. This is why you should get yourself a meat chopper…
