Chocolate, Pistachio And Pear Cake And Chocolate Fest
Any nuts together with chocolate is a win. And so is this cake. But it’s not the nut and chocolate combo that makes this cake divine – there is also the moisture that comes with pear!

Vegan Monday: Pasta Salad With Tomatoes, Onions, Walnuts, Pomegranate And More
I love pasta, but try not to eat too much to keep me from a carb bombarding (I can really overeat pasta!). So this is a good way to eat pasta. There are a lot of other things in it, and you can still get a bit of pasta to overcome the craving.

Mustikkarahkapulla – Finnish Blueberry And Quark Bun
Pulla means “bun” in Finnish. And it is something that you can find everywhere from cafes to the bakery sections of the supermarkets. Having a pulla with your coffee (well, for me, with tea) is one of the most Finnish things you can do.
Baked Brie In Puff Pastry With Fig Jam And Toasted Walnuts
I love puff pastry and brie (I love CHEESE!). So yes, of course, this would be a divine combination for me, with fig jam and walnuts added. Oh my, this turned out dellllicious.
Cauliflower Gratin With Spices And Chives

Courgette And Carrot Fritters With Feta, Spices And Herbs – And Welcome to 2022!

Gluten-Free Thursday: Cheese-stuffed Colourful Baby Peppers
A few weeks ago, we had a lovely raki and mezze night with my boyfriend and two of my closest friends. Raki is the national drink of Turkey, and it is my favourite alcoholic beverage. But I don’t love just the taste of it; I love the whole “socialisation, eating long and drinking long with people you love” aspects of it. And of course, the mezze that comes together with it is equally important!
