The Original Plum Cake

I absolutely love eating raw plums but somehow I like them even more when they are cooked, I especially like Plum Cake as the plums give the cake this extra moisture and texture that makes it absolutely delicious. For this Plum Cake I chose to use less sugar than I usually would and I even used Maple Sugar which is a healthier alternative to other sweeteners and can be a good source of nutrients. When buying Maple Sugar make sure to look for unrefined sugar made from pure maple syrup.

White Asparagus with Honey & Goat Cheese

This recipe is not only super easy (literally 3 minutes of prep time) but it’s also extremely delicious. I love the honey/goat cheese combination but if you’re not a fan of goat cheese you can substitute it either with vegan cheese or feta. Make sure you don’t forget the sage as it will really elevate your dish and give it that extra kick.

Potato Leek Soup (Julia Child Recipe)

This vegetarian soup is absolutely hearty and will make any moment cozy, it's the perfect starter but also the perfect main course if you don't feel like eating too much. as is customary with French Recipes you’ll find this soup to have some butter and cream which can definitely be substituted by for example Flora (100% plant based butter) and the cream can be left out completely if you wish. I already substituted the chicken broth with vegetable broth but in the original recipe Julia Child used chicken broth.

This Vegetable Fregola is my absolute favourite way to make Fregola - plus it’s healthy and vegan!

I made this Fregola with Zucchini, Carrots, Potatoes, Onions and Artichokes but you can make it with any seasonal vegetables you can find at the market.

Pennette alla Vodka (Vodka Pasta)

Pennette alla Vodka are officially back in style after having been forgotten and removed off most menus for the past 20 years. They used to be a staple of Italian cuisine back in the 80’s with their origins being traced to a restaurant called “Dante” in Bologna where they would flambé the penne in front on you at the table (yes, very 80’s), all the cool kids used to eat them back then and they were even served in clubs and bars.

I’m the biggest feta fan and these rolls made me so happy as I felt like I was eating a bit of feta with every bite. The mix of feta, spinach, pine nuts and honey is absolutely delicious and you’ll feel like eating one after the other. I really like working with milk based doughs as I feel like there are less chances of messing them up - this is also why this recipe is perfect also for people who are starting off with cooking or people who have never really made doughs before. The dough will remain absolutely beautiful and it’s quite easy to work and roll.

Creamy Pea and Asparagus Risotto

You may have noticed that I’m really addicted to asparagus and I also love making risotto (it’s one of my favourite dishes to make).

Pizza Margherita - Neapolitan Style

Sunday is Pizza Day and my favourite way to celebrate the end of the week is by making the pizza myself at home. Pizza making can sound scary and difficult but it’s actually really easy, fun and so cheap! I’m not going to lie, the first time your pizza might not be perfect but the more you practice the more you’ll find that you actually like your home made pizza better than any restaurant pizza or delivery pizza.

Asparagus and Parmesan Risotto

I love cooking risotto and one of my favorite risottos of all times is this Asparagus and Parmesan Risotto - deliciously creamy thanks to the parmesan and nice and crunchy thanks to the asparagus. I try to stay away from cream when making risotto as I try to make it as healthy as possible but you can feel free to add some in the end to make it even creamier (a drizzle will be enough).
