I always have problems saying the name correctly: Spa-na-ko-pi-ta. I tend to mix up some of the letters and then it’s suddenly something completely different ;) Maybe I should just describe what it is – spinach strudel with filo dough. No. I have to remember the correct name. This dish deserves to be pronounced correctly. It’s one of my favorite pastries from Greece! Spanakopita! ;)
Are you a gardener? We planted kohlrabi on our terrace for the first time this year – with great success, I have to say! We were able to prepare several dishes with the kohlrabi we harvested, including this delicious Thai Style Kohlrabi Salad. Super easy to prepare and on a hot summer day a great salad or side dish to serve on a BBQ. If you have never used kohlrabi for a salad you should definitely change that immediately. It’s really good for that ;)
Can I be honest with you? I think Biscoff cookies are terrible! Why? Because they are soo delicious! Sounds like a clickbait title, but it’s true ;) The cookies taste like caramel and are super tasty, but thanks to all that added sugar they have, they are really not good for me (as a diabetic). I really have to hold myself back here. Same for this delicious Biscoff Cheesecake here. I would love to jump right in and eat it completely by myself… but no. Not possible ;P
There are several dishes I cook quite regularly – that’s stews and curries. Why you may ask? Because those dishes are normally really delicious and most of the time really easy to prepare. Best example – this delicious Potato & Cauliflower Curry. You throw everything in a large pot, let it simmer for a bit and at the end, you got yourself a delicious meal. Enough to feed a whole family, or if you are only two you can eat for several days. Something I like because that means I do not have to cook every day ;P
If you want to live a healthy lifestyle it’s always good to take a look at what you eat. If you want to eat better you should consider incorporating more legumes into your diet. A delicious summer salad like this White Jumbo Beans Salad is a good option here. If you cook the beans properly you won’t experience the “side effects” many people fear when eating beans… trust me ;P
I love my job, but in between I love to bake and try new things in the kitchen. A lot of my friends and colleagues encourage me to bake - for a very simple reason: they get the leftovers - and it seems they like it most of the time ;)
