A foodie's journey through reinvented recipes
One thing I like the most about the times we live in is the fact that we can easily access foreign stories, recipes and spices across borders. I come from Romania, and 10-12 years ago, I was barely finding soy sauce in our supermarkets. I used to travel to France […]
Recently I was challenged to cook salmon in a different way, something I never tried before. After some research I came out with the conclusion that I never prepared salmon burgers. How complicated can it be? Easy-peasy job, trust me! Check out my recipe!
A great lunch choice that brings a lemony zing to the mix. Also known as “poussin” or “coquelet de Bretagne“, this small chicken is definitely good material, it cooks fast and fits most of the oven trays. This recipe of oven roasted coquelet is one of my favorites as it […]
Cooking fish ‘en papillote’, that is wrapping it in baking paper, it’s a great solution for those who don’t want their home invaded by the smell of fried fish 🙂 I find this particular recipe extra delicious, healthy and very easy to prepare. Enjoy!
Zoowhat? Zoodles aka zucchini noodles. Love at first bite! A very good combination of textures from the cooked shrimps and the almost raw zucchini with the perfect flavors to go with it – white wine and garlic butter. Pretty easy to prepare too and ready in no-time!
A healthy choice for a take-away lunch, this salad combines the creamyness of the avocado with the crunchyness of the celery, cucumber and radishes, while completing the picture with the zing of the cherry tomatoes and the interesting texture of the quinoa seeds.
This is what I call a delicious low-carb meal, for one of those days when you know you overstepped your boundaries with too much pasta or ‘one too many’ pizza slices over lunch. And why not, a good post-workout treat?
I can say that by far and up until now, this is my favorite pasta salad. I realized that I wasn’t really a big fan of pasta salads. The idea of consuming cold pasta didn’t appeal to me and it was mostly because I didn’t know how to combine the […]
I totally love potato gratin, but I usually avoid eating something like this as normally, all recipes include high fat ingredients (lots of heavy cream and lots of butter). For quite some time now, I was constantly thinking of preparing a lighter version with a low-fat (well as low as […]
If you’re a seafood fan, this is for you! It’s really hard to find fresh seafood in supermarkets and I avoid adventuring too much because I don’t know the storage/ transport conditions. But this time I went for these lovely blue mussels which came frozen and in air-tight conditions.
