This is another recipe which I got an idea for during my last visit in Slovenia. In Slovenia, having a bowl of soup as a starter is more common than in the UK. Also when it’s hot, Slovenians love having their soups. This type of soups are quite light and mostly vegetable-based since they are […]
Today I have a special recipe for you inspired by Slovenian cuisine. A few weeks back when I was in Slovenia I had a buckwheat salad which I found at the salad bar of a restaurant in a shopping centre. The salad I had was quite simple, mostly buckwheat groats with a couple of other […]
I cannot imagine a day without a salad. I love salads, they are my favourite thing to eat as a part of a healthy diet and if I don’t have one every day I get cravings! I came up with this simple prawn salad for my lunch at work when I wanted to have something […]
Are you one of those women who crave chocolate before their period is due? You are sure not alone! These cravings are common and often indicate that your body is deficient in magnesium. It happens to me as well. I can get really bad cravings for chocolate and when I do I have to have it. […]

Not sure where this misconception came from but healthy eating certainly doesn’t have to be expensive. In fact, […]
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 […]
Since I started cycling to work my eating habits have changed slightly. In the morning, before cycling, I have a small portion of muesli, enough to keep me going for almost 3 hours. Later in the morning, I have my second breakfast and that would normally be banana and blueberry chia pudding which I prepared the night […]
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 […]
