VEGAN DUTCH RECIPE: sauerkraut casserole with smoked sausage and apple
I know that not too long ago I posted that I would stay in China for the next 3 months (see THIS post), but some unexpected things happened and I decided to go home early. Even though I really enjoyed the Chinese food, when I was preparing to go home again, I suddenly craved typical…
AUTUMN DINNER PARTY: a convenient way to present loose-leaf tea
This Saturday my parents are hosting a dinner party for around 35 people and after the several courses, there is of course coffee and tea. We wanted to serve loose leaf tea (since the flavours are then a bit more special than the tea you buy in the store) but having 35 people scoop their…

Vegan Food in Glasgow pt. 1 – review of ready meals at Waitrose
I know it’s been a while. I was really busy with the last month of my bachelors, doing a research project which consumed most of my time. I also moved back in with my parents, because I am taking a gap year next year and I don’t want to pay my rent while traveling. This…
RECIPE: healthy Mediterranean super grain salad – lunch meal prep
I recently moved houses, so I had to clean out all the cabinets in my kitchen. There I found a lot of super grains which I bought at some point, but didn’t finish. I was therefore left with small quantities of spelt, buckwheat and freekeh. This lunch salad was a convenient way to clean out…
RECIPE: Super grain buddha bowl with rainbow carrots
I am clearing out my pantry and somewhere to the back I found some dry spelt and dry buckwheat. Seeing that it was not a huge amount, I thought I would throw them together into a buddha bowl! This bowl is packed with fibre and veggies, and the sesame and soy sauce add a nice…
