Chocolate lovers’ treat #97

An inspiration that came from my shopping trip to the supermarket!:)
You know those days when you just want a really comforting chocolate treat that doesn’t necessarily have to compromise your health? Exactly me today:)

Chocolate ganache torte #80

This pie was even more successful than the one I prepared few weeks ago:) The filling is rich and delicious, with a dense chocolaty flavor. Made this for my boyfriend and friends, and it was gone in less than 24 hours:)

Cabbage soup #77

A comforting soup that uses mustard and apple cider vinegar? Yes, I too was a bit skeptical at first, but when I had to prepare it for Rouxbe Cooking School, I knew I was in good hands! Also, a great way to include more cabbage in your diet. Yum:)

Kitchen Basics: Vegetable stock #74

I was so happy to try this recipe, the combination of ingredients is amazing, and the vegetable stock that you are left with is flavorful, rich and just fantastic to use in any occasion or dish. Great for making in big batches and freezing for later too.

Creamy coconut oatmeal #72

This creamy oatmeal (also called porridge in the UK) is seriously one of the best breakfast ideas I could have asked for this week! As the winter becomes more vigorous, I feel in need for some warming foods as I wake up. I love to combine the oatmeal with juicy fruits like mango or even berries. Result: the best -perfect -and- creamy breakfast ever:)

Kitchen basics: guacamole #70

I have been obsessed with avocado for quite some time now, as it is the perfect dip for mexican dishes, on toast or with corn tortillas. this is my take on it, simple and very quick to prepare.

Vanilla ice cream with goji berries #68

When it comes to eating ice creams, I’m a strong believer that there’s no right or wrong season. It is comforting for any situation and right for any moment. Here’s an example:)

Gluten-free Pasta with creamed kale #67

When you have a super delicious béchamel sauce recipe on hand, it is not difficult to decide what to make for lunch! This great gluten-free penne was my number 1 to go ingredient, and the recipe turned out just as I like it: comforting without messing much in the kitchen.

Coconut Braised Chickpeas w/ Spinach & Sun-Dried Tomatoes #65

I was never really a fan of sun-dried tomatoes, so when I got the task to prepare this coconut braised chickpeas for the Cooking School, I knew it would be challenging! The final result was so delicious and definitely worth preparing. I realized it’s important to cook the tomatoes for longer so that they can suck up the juices and also become tender. A recipe that I will definitely repeat in the future.

Chocolate hemp truffles #64

You know those days when you just crave something sweet, but you don’t know exactly what it is that you crave?! Well that was me yesterday, i just wanted something indulgent that would be healthy and chocolaty, but easy and quick to prepare at the same time! That’s how I ended up with the most delicious truffles in under 5 minutes:)
