Coconut carrot soup with ginger

Vegan Carbonara
Carbonara is a pasta dish with bacon, egg and cheese and is one of the classics of the Italian cuisine. After my boyfriend raved about a vegan version we had in an Italian restaurant, I was inspired to surprise him with my own creation. Since then it has been one of his favourite dishes. To…

Traditional Mediterranean Hummus
Since a dear friend introduced me to hummus, I have been preparing it quite often. The word originates from the Arabic and means “chickpea”. It is an oriental specialty consisting of pureed chickpeas and sesame paste. It goes great together with roasted vegetables (e.g. potatoes, sweet potatoes, carrots, and beetroot) or pita bread. If you…
