Have I ever told you how much I love curry? Oh I have? Well then, I won’t bore you with another post about curry. No, I’ll tell you all about curry’s best friend, tomato chutney, instead. Muahhahhah. So what is tomato chutney? Chutneys have been around for a long time, …

Tabbouleh salad, Tabbouli, or even Tabouli salad is a dish that’s becoming more and more well-known away from it’s traditional Levantine (Eastern Mediterranean) homelands, and there’s very good reason for that. Made from either couscous or bulgur and seasoned with parsley, tomatoes and a mezze of other flavours, it’s extremely …

Mashed potatoes rock. Hard. An essential part of so many classic meals, from the British roast to the American Thanksgiving (and a whole load in between) at first sight you’d be forgiven for thinking they’re just a pile of squashed spuds. But don’t be fooled – they’re soooo much more …

There must be something in the air – the last month of summer sees the release of not one cold, white soup, but two! Heady times indeed. This honeydew melon soup recipe the is the opposite of our Spanish garlic soup – it’s sweet, creamy and oh-so-fruity. Based around coconut …

If you can believe such a thing, this is our very first milkshake recipe. A chocolate cashew milkshake to be precise. It leaves us asking ourselves why we hadn’t made a milkshake before. Caro, Hauke’s flatmate, has already confirmed a fairly serious addiction to it. There’s something that’s supremely soothing …

You’d think I’d be bored of talking about curry by now. But I’m really, absolutely, definitely not. In my humble opinion, curry is one of the greatest dishes this world has ever seen – with varieties so wildly different you could eat a new one every day and never sample …

Andalusia, the southernmost region of Spain, is one of huge importance to Spain. The beautiful area not only houses around twenty percent of Spain’s modern population; its traditions and history range from Moorish rule in the distant past to a vibrant and contemporary big city culture today.

I am convinced. I’m convinced by beetroot, and I am convinced by this vegan chickpea salad. Allow me to explain. This culinary story begins not all that long ago – with the tasting of a beetroot dip. It was the first time I had tried beetroot for many, many a …

Everybody has an opinion about pancakes, this Dutch apple pancake included. Some want them flat and thin like a crêpe, some want them big and fluffy like a cake. Some sweet, some savoury. There’s almost no pleasing everyone. That’s why we enlisted Jansen, friend and chef extraordinaire. He’s also Dutch, …

A classic recipe like a glorious Spanish omelette has to be treated with care. This is why we asked our friend Cristina Parés from Barcelona, Catalunya (still Spain) to help us out. And much to our liking she provided us with a quick and tasty version – without sacrificing traditional …

We asked our readers how much they know about factory farming (see pie chart below). More than 350 people participated. Thank you guys! Turns out that only about half know how meat is produced nowadays – including our vegetarian and vegan readers. For us, this was reason enough to look …

It’s official – summer is here! Living in northern Germany we can now expect a couple of weeks of sunshine – before the rain kicks in again anyway. Still, ‘make Thai quinoa salad while the sun shines’ goes the famous saying, so we will. It’s the perfect summery salad – …

These vegetarian tacos are really hard to beat. There’s just something about that crunchy mix of onions, peppers and beans surrounded by crispy tacos, topped off with a sweet mango and avocado sauce. They’re really, really gooood! 😛 It’s one of those recipes that we highly recommend you learn and …

If you believe Game of Thrones, then Winter is Now Here. Luckily, however, we’re not in Westeros and winter is not here. I wouldn’t exactly call it summer either though, it hasn’t stopped raining for days. That aside, on the odd occasion the sun does come out, it really puts …

I love discovering new recipes! Especially if they’re linked to getting me fitter and stronger. And that’s exactly what these baked ricotta muffin power bombs do. They’re my new favourite and are now my post gym go-to snack. After a good workout it’s imperative to replenish our body’s natural stores, …

Pizza rocks! 😀 At least I certainly think so. It has a lot going for it. But for some, pizza potatoes are the answer. To most, ‘gluten-free’ is just a myth – a phrase made up by marketing supremos who target vulnerable eaters into paying more for a swishy new slogan …
