According to NHS, a healthy diet should include at least two portions of fish a week, including one of oily fish such as sardines. Most of us are not eating enough so here comes the recipe which will hopefully help you eat fish more often: grilled sardines (courtesy of Candida Diet Foods). Just in case you didn’t […]
Quinoa with Sauteed Leeks, Peas & Avocado by Lisa Roukin [gluten-free]
This healthy vegetarian recipe is from a book by Lisa Roukin, My Relationship with Food, and it makes a lovely nutritious lunch which you can prepare in advance. It’s also great for dinner, especially on warmer days as it’s a meal you leave it to cool down to create a delicious salad. Lisa Roukin is […]
Baked Lemon-Thyme Sole with Zucchini, Asparagus, and Pea Salad
This recipe comes from the book called SugarDetoxMe (check the review at the end) and it’s one of those healthy dinners which are easy and quick to make. I love having fish once or twice a week but I always tend to make it in the same way (check this baked salmon dinner recipe) so it’s […]
Filling spinach, sweet potato and bean soup
This vegetarian soup was born one day when I had half a bag of spinach to use. I normally use spinach for chickpea and spinach soup or for lentil and carrot soup with spinach, however, this time I wanted to try something different. I looked around my cupboards and found some sweet potato and also a carton […]
Shiitake & Prawn Miso Soup [low-carb]
This recipe was born one day when I was in a mood to try something different. I’ve never made a miso soup before and I didn’t know how to make it. A quick search on Google revealed that miso soup is something quite easy to make. I decided to create my own version of miso […]

Creamy Millet and Vegetable Soup (gluten-free)
Millet is not something you would normally find in the British supermarket but it’s very common in Slovenia. People in Slovenia eat it in savoury and sweet dishes but I only cooked with millet once before – I made millet tabbouleh which didn’t turn out that great. That’s because I didn’t really know how to cook […]
Black bean-hemp protein patties [vegan]

Low-carb hearty kidney bean-vegetable soup
In the beginning of December I challenged myself and went on a low-carb diet for a week in an effort to lose some weight before Christmas. Oh boy, what a challenge this was. I had no bread, porridge, muesli, pasta or rice for a week! I introduced beans to my diet, something that I would normally not […]
Slovenian sauerkraut stew recipe, vegetarian version
Have you ever tried making anything out of sauerkraut? If you haven’t, I won’t be surprised, as it’s not what British people typically eat – I’ve never seen it on restaurant menus, mentioned on social media or on food blogs that I follow (apart from the Polish ones). But sauerkraut is widely used in Slovenia and […]
