Lazy Sunday night dinner
It’s dinner time! Today I had a lazy but beautiful Sunday with great weather outside. After a nice brunch we went outside for a long walk and for dinner I didn’t want to spend too much time in the kitchen, so I came up with this little creation: Sauted carrots and aragula salad with soy…
Vegan style egg salad
This recipe is quite special as you will see: It’s an ‘egg’ style Vegan salad, in other words a salad that tastes like egg salad but is made without eggs :) I have not turned into a vegan but I went to an eco fair this weekend, where I saw Björn Moschinski, the owner and…

Tabouleh
Tabouleh is a kind of salad made from Couscous. Couscous is made from wheat. Its structure is a little bit like that of grits. Tabouleh is a typical North African/Arabic dish. What I particularly like about it is that it’s a light and tasty dish. Give it a try! Oh, and if you are wondering…
