As I said I’m back in London and this summer I share my flat with two wonderful girls. However, the girls are gone for the weekend so I made it a mission to create something out of all the goodies they (and myself) left behind in the fridge. The result? A Zucchini Feta Cheese pie/quiche/tart/pastry (whatever your language prefer!) Here follows a great recipe … Read More Zucchini and Feta Cheese Pie – Vegetarian Recipe

It’s by far … Read More Summer Salad

For my birthday my grandmother made me my favourite pastries. The butterflies are called Struvor and are made of a batter similar to the one you make for pancakes. You fry them in oil so you’ll need a special iron to get the shape. Traditionally they are only made for Christmas but my birthday got approved as valid exception! Even though Marta Stewart isn’t … Read More Birthday Pastries from my Grandma – Recipes!

These munchies are originally called Raspberry Caves but I think you should make it easier for yourself and chose the preserve you got at home. This time I made blueberry flavoured ones! – Aaalmost 2 cups of flour – Aaalmost … Read More Blueberry Caves – Recipe
