As my meat-eating family comes into the grilling season, I get creative at finding things I can eat with them coming from the same grill, but skipping the meat.

This is a dish I tasted during a work trip to Albania, back in the times when we were all still allowed to travel. In these times of self isolation and staying home, seems like long time ago. It was my first trip to Albania, and I was just amazed with the food. Hopefully, things

It’s a soup for a very hot day, it’s really more of hydrating product or a smoothie than a soup, but on a hot day you can have it in a bowl, call it a soup and pretend it’s a full meal! It works perfectly on holidays and takes very little time to cook but you

Yes, I know, aubergines again! But I just love them. And I can’t resist! Actually, I don’t even try. This is a slightly changed Nigella’s recipe. Very refreshing and very, very good! It works well as a starter, but on a sunny day it’ll do just as well as a main dish, if you add

This recipe I learned from Kasia, even if I am not sure how close what I just cooked is to what she cooked back then, and it was Bulgarian and nor Greek cheese that was involved… Anyway, I remember that she served me this at her place, welcoming me to her apartment (again). The warmth
