As you might have seen in someprevious blogposts, I recently spend some time in China, and even though groceryshopping required a lot of text-scanning and translating, I did want to step outof my comfort zone to try some new products. One of the things I definitely discoveredwas “tofu skin”. When I first saw this I…

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…
AUTMUMN TABLE DECORATION – a perfect pattern for left over yarn
This is going to be a super short post, but I just want to share my love for a crochet pattern I found on Pinterest lately. It is a pattern for crochet pumpkins that look knit, and since I love pumpkins, crocheting and knitting, this was the perfect pattern for me! I am going to…
5-ingredient MEAL PREP IDEA: bulgur-chickpea salad with lemon, basil and beetroot
I love meal prepping lunches, not only because I think the flavour is better than sandwiches, but also because it makes it easier for me to include a source of plant-based protein in my lunch. For this lunch I used chickpeas, because I love how they combine with almost any flavour. If you wanted to…
RECIPE: 5-ingredient super quick udon miso soup bowl, also great for meal preps!
I love udon noodles. I don’t know what it is, but somehow I love noodles the chunkier or the thinner they are. Udon noodles have the added bonus of being sold precooked, making them the perfect ingredient for a quick dinner. The only thing that actually takes time is cutting and cooking the string beans,…
RECIPE: quick fennel red curry bowl
I personally think everything looks cuter in a bowl; Buddha bowls, sushi bowls, poke bowls, you name it. That is why, when I made this curry, I thought I would serve it in a bowl-style. I think the different components, rice, curry and vegetables, look so fresh and tasty together! For this vegetable curry I…
VEGAN STARTER: crispy baked vegetable spring rolls
This is part of my 3-course dinner series, where I show you the vegan 3-course dinner I cooked my parents. My parents are not vegan, but trough my cooking I like to show them that you can eat delicious vegan things! Working with filo pastry can be a bit tricky, especially when the pastry is…
15 MINUTE LUNCH MEAL PREP: riso salad with beetroot, spinach, falafel and a fruity basil dressing
Meal prepping lunches is one of my favourite things to do, because it allows me to have a healthy, filling and delicious lunch every day. Having a nice lunch to look forward to makes all the difference when you have lectures or school. This week I decided to make a lunch with different veggies and…
THE PERFECT BABY SHOWER GIFT: hand knit baby booties
I recently had a knitting workshop at a local knitting supplies shop, when I saw these baby booties standing around. I immediately fell in love with them, and of course wanted the pattern. They gave me the pattern without any payment and without a source, so I will link the site from the shop HERE….
MEAL PREP: mango curry with marinated tempeh and rice
I love having a warm lunch during the week when I am at university. I don’t like studying all day and having just bread to look forward to. That is why I tend to meal prep my lunches on Sundays or Mondays for the week. Normally I make a big batch of something and just…
