A Wishful Thinking Tale – In Anticipation of School bars

And just like that, we are back to normal and plugging away in 2020! Hard to believe that the sense of the state of emergency gets turned off instantaneously! This makes me feel a little disoriented that there is no sign of any remnants of what was yesterday, kinda like the news. This time, I...

Healthful Delights – Raspberry & Chocolate Cream

I've noticed a heightened aesthetic sensitivity in myself and others lately. It's as if we finally have time to really look at things. Where as before we would hustle to get it done, get the food on the table, in line with whatever principle we personally prioritize, be it a certain diet or just a...

Anchovy Socca & Sauteed Baby Kale

These days that we are quartered at home, I have been cooking a lot. I guess it helps me feel like things are normal. I even enter these states where the silver lining is all I can see - humanity will have to slow down, parents will have to stay home with their kids, people...

Poppy Strudel

It is in times like these that I feel especially strongly about how exactly I need to feel tethered. And it always comes back to home and memories. So in this time of surreal uncertainty where you can almost feel the tectonic shifts that are coming and will reshape our lives in ways that we...

Nutrition Squared

We are in self-isolation due to COVID19 pandemic. It is 2020 and this is hard to believe. It is so surreal, in fact, that I really have to dig to new depths just to glimpse what it is I'm feeling. For those of us who have lived through other life-disrupting circumstances such as wars and...

Scones of love in the New Year! Happy 2020 :-)

This year's onslaught of Christmas cookies that I enjoyed oh-so much has curiously left out the queen of English cookies - the scone! But how, oh fates?? I feel that 2020 will bring me even deeper things than I am used to. At this moment, I can fathom this as being, for example, knowledge of...

Cookies, lots and lots of cookies!

It has been a long couple of weeks where anywhere you look there were Christmas cookies! I was mesmerized by the variety and the beautiful, cozy setups that flooded my Instagram feed. There is something there that hits the amygdala straight on 🙂 The feed has changed in the past couple of days, with Christmas...

Inspiration for one mean Ratatouille!

I’ve spent some time recently reading a lot of lifestyle and food related blogs and I’m always drawn to find out more about the person behind it all. There is usually a fascinating story there – some amazing people doing some amazing things. But even not knowing that for sure there would be an intriguing...

Morning Cereal Adventure

        It almost makes me want to laughandcry that I’ve officially circled back to intuitive eating! Not that I was ever very good at that, even as a child. Not a picky eater, I genuinely liked most food and have always eaten to satisfy not only the physical hunger. I am still working out what...

Torta Luna Blu

I have to get something off my chest before I can even think of starting this story! So, I’ve had the idea for this recipe for a couple of months at least. In the time it took me to get around to recipe testing, we downed 4lb of cashews! On a brighter note, the time...
