Stuffed Seitan Roast in Puff Pastry

Well then, are you enjoying a tranquil, stress-free Christmas season? Me neither. Work, present preparations and many other duties collide with the Christmas anticipation. There’s only Christmas in my kitchen currently and that’s only because I have a blog to fill and feel like I have to.

Carrot-Orange-Soup with Coconut

This vegan carrot orange soup is so easy to make, doesn't take too long and is a welcoming fruity yet warming alternative to usually hearty winter soups. We added some smoked tofu for that contrasting touch of heartiness and we love it!

Today we’re talking soup. It’s all about a simple yet juiy carrot orange soup to be precise. Actually I’ve never been such a huge fan of soups. In restaurants I would have never ordered a soup as a starter ( I’m more of a salad person). If at all I might get some soup at […]

The best chocolate chip cookies of all time

The best chocolate chip cookie recipe of all time! Super soft and delicious. The last cookie recipe you will ever need.

Bruges vs Ghent – A weekend trip to Belgium

Ramen & Onigiri with June

Basic recipe for ramen and onigirazu

In June I visited June from Food is Taking over in Berlin. June became a very dear friend of mine in the past years. Even though we know each other since school days, our friendship didn’t start to grow until I moved to Dortmund and she started studying in Berlin.

Cauliflower Sushi

Cauliflower Rice is the low-carb alternative for conventional sushi and has a wonderful fresh taste (that doesn't taste like cauliflower at all). If you can't get enough of sushi, such as me, you should definitely give cauliflower sushi a chance. Recipe on Purple Avocado.

There are only a few vegetables that I dislike as much as cauliflower. Cauliflower is the sorry excuse for a boring, tasteless version of brokkoli. Cauliflower is the trite side dish to potatoes and roast. No, cauliflower and I will never become best friends. But there is one thing cauliflower is pretty good at – […]

6 Reasons why I love Camping in Scotland

This summer I had my first camping trip ever and discovered the wild beauty of the Scottish Highlands. Let me recap for you what I loved about this style of travelling the most.

When I was little and still going on holiday with my family, we used to have relaxing beach vacations. A good hotel, beach, the sea, much food. Relaxing and maybe playing some card games or reading a book. I always loved our family vacations. It was a great recovery from work and school and we […]
