Those of you who know me a little better or those of you that have followed me a little longer, might know that I have not always been in the same profession. Lord knows I have had just about as many different jobs as anyone wants to have when I was younger. I made it [...]

It’s no big secret that I love quinoa as it has been featured here a couple of times, as you can see with this delicious quinoa salad with courgette, the quinoa salad with pomegranate and most recently the pumpkin stew. I was reading a couple of blogs on my Iphone this morning (don’t you just [...]

I’ve been having this one on my desk for a while now. I know Donna Hay is known for her light and airy photographs, but really, if you go through the magazines, you will notice that there are quite a few with beautiful dark and moody images. Maybe because it is winter, but I’m quite [...]

We all know those moments…. those moments when you realize those lovehandles can no longer be called ‘love’ handles, but are more going towards “terrible-fat” handles. That moment when your favorite pair of jeans all of a sudden feels like it has shrunk dramatically in the wash, or that moment when you look in the [...]

We get out of the boat and walk onto a barren piece of land, slightly confused as to what we are doing here. Across the barren patch of land awaits a tiny village. Our guide, a tiny Vietnamese woman, leads us through small alleyways where little kids peer curiously from around corners and start to [...]

A large bucket filled with cold fresh water is filled to the brim with shiny animals looking at us accusingly and every now and then creating a flurry of activity inside the bucket. We take turns carefully peering inside. Some of us wonder how on earth we’re going to eat them all, some of us [...]

Let me just start by saying that this is maybe not the most logical dish while in winter. It’s lovely and refreshing, but also… it is supposed to be eaten cold, so if you’re in a summery country right now, this might just be the soup for you. Or if you’re like me – trying [...]
