Low impact BBQ
A BBQ without meat doesn’t have to be boring, but at first I didn’t know how to do it. I often prepared veggie skewers but that was always a lot of work. The trick is putting the entire vegetable on the grill.
Read MoreLazy Tortellini
As a teenager, the only thing I could make for dinner was tortellini with ready-made tomato sauce. This is a homage
to that time, upgraded for more taste and healthy veggies.

A flavourful rice inspired by paella. Keep enough bouillon on the side but

Chilli Spaghetti
Italian dishes are usually not something we eat spicy, but including some chillies creates a delightful surprise.

A curry inspired by a Pakistani recipe. The aubergine is extra delicious if you first brown
