WHERE I WAS AND WHERE I'M GOING: A WELL NEEDED UPDATE

It's not the first time that I've gone missing from the blog and other social media, even though I wish I could say it was. After all I have made this connection to you and it's something I value and when I disappear into the ether I'm not honoring that. However I've said it before and I'll say it again; sometimes life just happens and for one reason or another what you were doing you no longer have time for or suddenly doesn't feel right. Either way I hope you noticed my absence and that you missed me, because I missed you guys. I missed sharing, being creative and chatting to you all and reading your thoughts in the comment field. However, I haven't felt like I've been able to create the content and share the things that really matter for a while so my motivation and creative spark took a little detour. This, I think happened, because I was trying to post too many recipes here on the blog with elaborate photographs and all that jazz and ended up always feeling bad that I couldn't quite keep to schedule with all the other things going on in my life.Read more

RADISH TOP SOUP AND ROASTED RADISH SALAD

This post and its recipes hail from our garden. I'm proud to say that all the radishes that went into this post came from our very own plot. Maybe you even saw us plant these in the last vlog? I'm always amazed at how those tiny little seeds become gorgeous vegetables in all the colours of the rainbow. In the moment I take these plants of ours out of the earth I feel such immense gratitude and awe for this cycle of planting, growing and harvesting. I really think gardening is one of life's gifts to us.Read more

VEGAN IN BERLIN: A WEEKEND TRIP AND ALL YOUR TIPS

Almost three years ago now I wrote a list of places to eat vegan food in Berlin here on the blog and today I'm back with some more tips from our last trip a couple of weeks ago as well as all of your recommendations. It's very easy to be vegan in Berlin and many of the places on the list from 2015 are still going strong so if you're planning a visit check out that post as well. Berlin is awesome and has so much to offer visitors. From vegan food to historical tours and museums, art, shopping and parks. It's a city that will always have a special place in my heart after having traveled there several times when I was a bit younger to experience the artistic drive in the city and I recommend a visit to everyone and please don't miss out on all the museums, they're a treat. Now let's have a look at where we ate this time and which places you've recommended, big thanks for these generous recommendations - I really appreciate all of the lovely messages you sent me on my trip! Read more

RAMSONS KIMCHI AND FORAGING: HOW TO

Okay friends, it's time for some more fermentation, and a little bit of foraging. This recipe for ramsons kimchi was inspired by my friend and awesome forager and fermentation guru Agata. She showed us an incredible ramsons/ramps/wild garlic spot in the woods not far from our home last year and this year we thought we'd show you guys. We took our filming equipment to the forest to show you our spot, and how to then make the kimchi, in the video above where I also give some handy tips on where to find ramsons and how to indentify it.Read more

BIRCHER MUESLI W/ A LOT OF SEEDS

My friends! It's been a while since I last posted. I feel like I say that too frequently in this space but I guess I just have to accept this as a fact and do better. I hope you are all well and enjoying the seasons changing just as much as I am. The sunshine here in Sweden has been incredible although I think we're missing something and it's spring. It seems that we've gone straight from winter into summer here. Strange times. But let's not get into issues of global warming right this minute and focus on the glorious sunshine and this very seeded bircher muesli instead!Read more

HOMETOWN VLOG - A BELATED CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY VIDEO

It's been a while! I've been on a blogging, vlogging, content creating break. Or a figuring things out and studying a lot break. Now I'm glad to be here this evening finally to share this very belated hometown vlog which we filmed back in December before Christmas. Sorry it is a little out of date but at least the snow lays thick here still so I can imagine while watching the video that it's actually the right time, maybe you can too?Read more

VEGAN SNACK PLATTER W/ BAKED ALMOND CHEESE AND GOLDEN PUMPKIN BEAN DIP

I hope you've all had a lovely Christmas, and to those of you who don't celebrate I hope you had a lovely week. We've been enjoying spending time here in London with Rob's family. And then we got ill. Which was less fun but now we're on the mend. Either way I wanted to share a couple of recipes and ideas with you today perfect for a New Year's celebration. It's been inspired by the countless beautiful platters I've seen on blogs and instagram all year. I thought it was time I make my own and I made a baked almond cheese and a pumpkin bean dip to go on it as the two main pieces on the board. Read more

FESTIVE MILLET SALAD IN ROASTED PUMPKIN BOATS

Still looking for vegan options to place on your table this Christmas? Then this dish is one for you. It would also be a lovely dish to eat those days after Christmas when you want something fresh but still warming in the winter weather. It's a lovely festive millet salad with kale, parsley, dried cranberries and pomegranate jewels served in roasted pumpkin wedges. Serving it as I've done in the photos makes it a lovely dish on a buffet or served family style on the table.Read more

SNICKERS TRUFFLES (VEGAN AND GLUTEN FREE)

Have you guys gotten into the holiday spirit yet? Maybe some of you don't celebrate Christmas even. I have a very secular relationship with Christmas and it's all about being with family, giving gifts and eating a lot of food and sweets. All of which can be quite stressful sometimes but I totally think it's such a cosy and relaxing time all at the same time. I guess that's what Christmas is a little bitfor me; a big old paradox. Filled with yummy stuff. Like these vegan snickers truffles.Read more
