As I mentioned in my blog post about Galicia, pulpo (or octopus in English), is considered a delicacy in the area. The way it is cooked, they have called it pulpo a feira in Galicia, and pulpo a la gallega in Spain. It is a tradition carried on from generation to generation. Here in Wales, […]

Vegan Christmas aka nori sausages
Having spent many Christmases away from my home country, I have started to make these vegan Christmas aka nori sausages to indulge on something at least visually similar to the traditional Estonian blood sausages. They are served as a main with potato salad, but usually for me the salad is the main as it’s an […]
Cold kefir soup
On a boiling hot summer’s day, there’s nothing else anyone dislikes more than standing next to a hot stove or oven. So here’s a healthy cold kefir soup for days exactly like that (to make it into a minimal-cook version, you can leave the potatoes out but you’ll still need to boil the eggs). It […]
Spinach and feta pie – store bought dough
I have been making this spinach and feta pie for as long as I can remember. I was originally inspired by a Greek recipe, which I can never remember, therefore keep inventing something new every time. This time, I decided to write it down with two gluten free dough options – with store bought puff […]
Mushroom spaghetti with spinach and crème fraîche
First time ever I made this creamy mushroom spaghetti recipe when first lockdown began and all of a sudden we needed solutions for quick and easy but also tasty and wholesome lunch time meals. I copied it from a Jamie Oliver’s recipe in all honesty but made it my own in the multiple attempts after […]

Spanish tortilla (omelette)
This delightful and versatile Spanish tortilla (omelette), has a very special place in my life. A Spaniard who still cooks this dish for me once a week introduced it to me a few years ago. You can make it in so many different variations, serve it as lunch, dinner, tapas, snack (or even breakfast if […]
Broccoli & feta pie on a spinach crust
This broccoli and feta pie is one of my favourite dinner recipes for two as it is very tasty, also full of healthy ingredients such as broccoli, spinach, leek and tomatoes (among some of the not-so-healthy ones like cheese and cheese), it gives you an option to save the leftovers for lunch next day. You […]
Roasted carrot & sweet potato soup with ginger
I have tried to make carrot soup before but it never tasted as heart-warming as this one. Originally taken from BBCgoodfood website, I modified it a little bit. I feel like the roasting process with the added ginger and sweet smoked paprika powder gives it a very nice touch but obviously they can just be […]
