My Guide to Happiness
Whenever I ask someone what do they want out of life, the most common answer seems to be happiness. However, when I ask how they define happiness, people tend to get stuck for an answer. The endless pursuit of happiness seems to be a widespread disease of the 21st century. Thanks to the modern media, [...]
Why I Don’t Eat Meat
Dedicated to anyone I have had this discussion with. For as long as I can remember I have had to justify my dislike for meat. Growing up in a meat-loving country, I’m by now used to being labelled everything from “hippie tree-hugger” to “celebrity wanna-be”. Most of the time I don’t care, but it can [...]
Reiki
Each year I come across more and more people who practice Reiki. When I first heard about it, it sounded a bit like a scam to me – someone healing you without even touching your body – really, now! Then my best friend decided to become a Reiki Master and gave me a Reiki session [...]
Avocado Hair Mask
Saturday is a day of relaxation for me. I like to do the things I generally don’t have the time for during the week. This weekend I felt like the winter had been taking a toll on my hair and that it needed a bit of TLC. So I decided to treat my hair to [...]
Twisted Pavlova
I had 4 egg whites left over from my Valentine’s Day Dinner and of course I couldn’t let them go to waste. So I decided to make a little weekend treat – a remake of one of my favourite desserts – the Pavlova. It can be quite rich and sweet, so I decided to tweak [...]
My Valentine’s Day Dinner
Generally I don’t like to follow recipes, preferring to invent on the go, and I almost never make the same dish twice. However Valentine’s Day is somewhat special and I wanted to make a dinner that was both different and new. I flipped through the huge pile of dusty cook-books I have, at first tempted [...]
The Wonderful Artichokes
When cooking Valentine’s day dinner, I faced the challenge of making artichoke purée for the first time. So far I have only tried the artichoke hearts in oil, sold in most supermarkets, and I have to confess I haven’t been impressed. However the artichoke purée was incredibly delicious, which made me think I should start [...]
Simple Veggie Burgers
I am not a huge fan of burgers but I do like to eat them every once in a while; vegetarian burgers of course. I have tested many different recipes and while most have been either too wet or too crumbly, this one is just perfect. It’s also a vegan recipe with no dairy or [...]
Almost Raw Green Pasta
I try to eat as fresh as possible. Generally eating fresh for me means eating raw. Pasta is probably one of my favorite easy dishes to make, and I try to include as many veggies as I can to make it both tasty and healthy. This recipe is meant for 2. Wholewheat pasta for 2, [...]
The Eating Ritual
Modern life has popularised refuelling on the go; coffee, snacks, drinks, and food – it’s really easy just to grab something while you’re out, and not bother with cooking or having to think about what’s in your food. Twenty years ago, meal times used to be rituals shared with family, friends and co-workers. Now we [...]
