These are healthy and not over complicated meat-free dishes for vegetable lovers.
Whoever came up with the recipe for cheese and onion tart is a genius in my eyes. I am a big fan of combining original flavours and undoubtedly, the combination of onion and cheese is one of these. For my tarts I decided to use red onion. In the past, I already made buns with…
Most of the time when I make pancakes, I am making sweet ones. This time though, I opted for savoury pancakes, i.e. without sugar, but instead with lots of sun-dried tomatoes, cheese and parsley. I made quite a lot of them and I must admit that despite giving away some to a neighbour and my…
Spring rolls are similar looking to croquettes but definitely different in taste. Their pastry is made from rice or all-purpose flour mixed with water. They can be stuffed with vegetables or with a mixture of veg and meat. Personally, I always add some mung bean sprouts and cabbage to the stuffing. The recipe that I…
Without a doubt pumpkin is one of my favourite autumn vegetables. I prepare both savoury and sweet dishes from it such as soups, muffins, curry – and now the time has come to put together a salad from it. Due to regular pumpkins being too sweet for my taste, I prefer using butternut squash. It…
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…
I can’t imagine excluding eggs from my diet. I like them in any form, I often use them for salads, cakes, spreads, frying, cooking and making a lot of various dishes from them.

Homemade borscht made the right way tastes amazing. By using a large amount of beetroot, other vegetables and herbs,…
Halloumi is a cheese made from a mixture of sheep’s and goat’s milk. It has its origins in the Eastern Mediterranean. It is ideal for grilling and frying. I have used halloumi to prepare a simple dish that is perfect for lunch. I served the grilled cheese with toasted bread, vegetables and pine nuts. Give…
Sauces are an essential part of many dishes. Usually they complement meat, but there is also a range of vegetarian dishes which are not too tasty without the addition of some sort of sauce. I make mushroom sauce quite often. It is a versatile sauce as it is as tasty with meat as with vegetables….
Years back leek salad was quite popular, I think almost everyone was preparing it back then. This salad can be made from generally available and relatively cheap ingredients. Neither the potatoes nor the leek itself cost a fortune and they are available almost everywhere. I like making this salad in autumn as that is the…
Sandwiches can often be very dry. A good way to avoid such situations is to use sandwich spread to moist them. You can prepare such spread from vegetables, fish, cheese or eggs. Vegetables ideal to make spreads from are: eggplant, zucchini, pepper or tomato. If you prefer to use fish instead go for mackerel or…
A salad full of vitamins, containing beetroot combined with nectarines, spinach and camembert cheese. It is great as a lunch at home, but also to take to work with you. I drizzled the salad with a light dressing made from olive oil, honey and lemon juice. Find me on Instagram: mecooksblog and Facebook: MeCooksblog Ingredients for beets and…
