Spicy wantons (shaped like gyoza)
At home we love a good Asian recipe. Wantons are one of my favourite things to eat. The juicy filling, the vinegary and spicy sauce to dip- just perfection. My wantons for this recipe are shaped like gyozas simply because I couldn`t find wanton wrappers anywhere. I decided to compromise on the shape, but don`t…
Cold soba noodles salad with steak
In this dish I combined my daughters favourites veggies- red cabbage, carrots and peppers. She also loves pasta, so noodles worked great. It`s hard to imagine serving this to a 2 year old, but she love it every time I cook this. You can keep it vegan by skipping the steak, or add rotisserie chicken…
Fattet al Makdous

Chili con carne with dark chocolate
Chili con carne is proper comfort food. It doesn`t require any special ingredients and almost no cooking skills. It also is one of this dishes that you can just let it cook on its own. I like to add few bits of dark chocolate at the end of the cooking process. It is then when…
Chicken tikka with coriander rice and mint chutney
Last night I thought I was well prepared for dinner as I marinated my meat and chopped my veggies before going to the pool. I came back and when started cooking I found out we have no gas. Thanks to Tom and his huge camping equipment we saved our dinner. I cooked my rice on…
Pulled pork and smoked bacon sandwiches
Made in the slow cooker these pulled pork sandwiches are something special. I cooked the meat in the slow cooker, together with smoked bacon and loads of spices and sauces. I choose to serve only with purple cabbage and carrots coleslaw so the real taste of the meat and juices is the star of the…
