White Raddish Salad


We used to eat lot of white raddishes when we were kids, especially with bread and butter and it really reminds of my childhood. I rediscovered this vegetable and since I didnt have much time yesterday evening for cooking, it had to be quick salad. This one would be perfect as a side dish to a steak or any kind of meat. Very fresh and tasty!

Zucchini muffins

I was very lazy last weekend and didn't cook much. But, I still had couple of zucchinis in my fridge (from south of France, proper bio quality :) ) and I decided to try the salty muffin idea, but without any flour. Here is the result and I must say, what a great idea! And there are really  no limits here, you can replace the zucchinis with aubergine or pumpkin, use different spices, different cheese etc.

Cauliflower soup with gorgonozola

Today, yet another soup for cold winter days! Again, it is pretty thick, but that's because we like it this way. You can control the thickness by adding more/less liquid. Very healthy, quick, simple and tasty! (as always :) )

It's been long time I have not written any alcoholic recipe :) so it is high time to make the things right! And again - recipe from Provence. This is lovely alcoholic drink which is perfect for apero and very easy to drink, so be careful :)

Croquant aux amandes



I spent last weekend in France visiting my new family in law and we ate and drank a lot!! As always :) But, I did not forget about my blog and I have for you two new recipes, directly from sunny Provence! Today, I am going to show you how to prepare so called "Croquant aux amandes" (english vocabulary says it should be "crunchy with almonds". Very simple and an excellent extra touch to serve with coffee or tea.

Pumpkin and coconut soup

I am a huge fan of pumpkins and I am really enjoying their season right now! :) I already showed you my favourite recipe for butternutsquash soup but that is not the only way. This recipe is full of flavours and the soup smells great! Actually, not only smells, also tastes! 


Salmon and vegetable soufflé

I guess everyone knows the typical ways how to prepare/cook a fish. But what about soufflé made of fish? I came across this great recipe (dont remember anymore where did I read it), and I thought, what a great idea! And it is not complicated, very refreshing and you can still move after having this for your lunch.

Coconut Treat


OK, for this one, you need to love coconut, because there is almost nothing else :-) But on the other hand, there are many ways of serving, you can just keep it in your fridge and eat it, if you feel like having a sweet treat and the best part, there is no sugar, no butter, no flour, so kind of healthy :)

And here is our version for breakfast - with strawberry marmelade and kiwis!






Express Green Pea Soup

I promise you, this is going to be the fastest soup ever!!!! Probably it is not the most sophisticated recipe, but if you are craving for something warm AND tasty, and your fridge is empty, then this is the recipe for you (everyone has green peas in the freezer and pesto at home).

Coconut Cupcakes



I went to my first baby shower on Saturday and for this occasion I prepared these cute coconut cupcakes. It is going to be a baby girl, so it had to be pinky! I used my pink polka dot baking cups and I found these cute pink feet which made of rice paper and they are edible! (only bit complicated to cut out) Cupcakes are delicious also because they have extra secret filling which makes them moist.
