Outer Hebrides: An escape to the wild

An escape to untouched lands, mythical tales, timelessness, breathtaking landscapes will struggle to describe my almost undescribable enigmatic adventure in the Outer Hebrides.

Blood orange chocolate ricotta mini éclairs

In my voyage through the world of choux pastry the latest discovery was simply my definition of a perfect bite – light, yet rich of flavours, a bit fruity and indulgently chocolaty.

Gili Islands: In the name of the beaches, sunsets and sea turtles

Yes, paradise does exist on Earth and it can be as tiny as 15km2.  Divide it by 3 and you get three pieces of land in Indonesia that contain the tranquility of quiet beaches, the hippie party vibe, the adventurous water spirit and the splendidness of every sunset that island life has to offer.

It has been a while since my last post, but luckily the holidays were a time with lots of cooking and too little time for posting. So there’s a lot of new recipes to catch up on with a wish for many more delicious adventures for the new year!

Raw Cardamom, Rose & Pistachio Balls

These pretty little treats probably combine all the goodness you can think of – gluten-, dairy-, sugar-free, super flavoursome, a bit adventurous and totally irresistible.

Fruity Couscous Stuffed Peppers

I want to go back to Morocco soon and just eat! The sunny orange juice and the sweet minty tea and the colourful tagines and the huge honey dates – just everything!

Gluten-free Carrot, Lentil & Za’atar Muffins

Probably the title here is a bit misleading as the only relation with muffins these healthy bites have is the muffin tray I used to bake them in! Regardless of the name however,  they are the perfect lunch or dinner treat that doesn’t involve too much cooking but yet tastes a bit different.
