Roasted tomato and pepper soup with chickpeas

I believe it was about time to start making soups again … this tomato soup resembles more of a warm gazpacho as it includes chickpeas, which make it more of a complete meal (as it has protein) and also more filling.

Sweet & sour sticky cauliflower nuggets

To be honest, although I love Asian food I am not a big fan of Chinese food, but I really like a sweet & sour sauce. Since we have entered lockdown no2 and thought that we will all miss out dining out and trying different kitchens, I though I might share this recipe by Madeleine…

I had promised this recipe, when I posted its wintery version with beetroots. The summer version includes apricots instead of beatroots and it is simply divine! I could be eating this dish every single day (and I almost do). What I enjoy is that it is super easy to make as you put all the…

Greek buddha bowl with black eyed peas #thebuddhabowlchallenge
