Oh, the memories I have of making oatmeal cookies! The original version of this recipe is the first-ever recipe I made on my own. I was about 6-7 years old and since then I’ve enjoyed cooking and baking and sharing all my concoctions with my friends and family. Nothing makes me happier than knowing I
I was lurking at the local supermarket one sunny summer day and saw this beautiful Salma fillet, which is a brand of really good quality salmon in Norway. I just had to have it! My mouth was watering at the thought of it. I went home and thought about how to best have this beautiful
Pesto a la Genovese is a such a famous sauce, mainly for its simplicity, is one I did not come to appreciate until well in my 20’s. I made an attempt to make Pesto Tagliatelle as a student late in my teens with the store bought kind and I frankly thought it to be horrible
Recently, I happened to have courgettes in the fridge for other purposes but the cravings for fries were too much and decided to do something about it. I went for an alternative to normal potato fries, a bit healthier, less fat and more importantly improved flavour to compensate for the lack of it not being

This right here is by far my favourite Colombian dish. The Amazing Ajiaco Santafereño, which, as its name tells us comes from Santa fe de Bogotá. It is one of the city’s staple dishes. However, as much as I love it, I had never tried to make it, until this year! This year after Christmas,
Because who likes dry cake! This dessert is deliciously sweet and moist and often spiked with some rum. The basic idea behind this dessert is: take your regular sponge cake and cover/drown it with a condensed milk, evaporated milk and whole milk mixture and then cover with a merengue/whipped cream mix refrigerate for a few
I looooove cheese, just adore it. Quite strange given in Colombia you don’t find many different types of cheese easily and the standard is usually very fresh cheese. But once I crossed the pond and found out just how many different types of cheese you can find I fell REALLY in love. Nonetheless, blue cheese
I’ve been baking cookies since I was a child, I’ve baked many different types but never Peanut Butter, I don’t think I ever tried them until last year when I had a colleague who would bake every Sunday and bring to work all sort of amazing goodies on Monday. The tastiest thing we ever got
Everytime I have a burning desire to be back in Bali soaking up the sun and amazing vibes, I whip up this fabulous Chicken Satay recipe and dream of being back there. We were in Bali for 10 days and I kid you not, we had Chicken Satay at least 5 times. It became a
I just love making this Granola. It’s an adapted version of Nigella’s Granola but with A LOT less added sugars and basically every type of nut and seeds I have in my pantry. The real key here is adding the apple sauce and the spices which give this granola an amazing richness in flavour and
For my sons 2nd birthday we had a nice party with his pre-school friends, as you can guess my LO’s favourite teddy and animal at that time was an Owl. Feeding small children is always tricky, you have allergies, special diets and picky eating children, So this carrot cake is perfect, gives the parents some
After living in several countries, I have become a patchwork of traditions and customs from all over, specially so in my cooking.
