my “conscious” week is coming to an end and i’m making a balance. speaking of “ending it” now, i must say that i didn’t really find it hard to stick to my conscious, detox inspired menu plan. rather, it came to me naturally and i think it’s kind of the way to go and toContinue reading
i haven’t made any major, unrealistic new year’s resolutions, however, i must admit i let my workouts awfully slip these past months due to simply being in over my head with work etc. i’m now more than ready to get back into the saddle (not literrally), as in: i’m taking my beloved yoga sessions backContinue reading
we were in london this past weekend, for an extensive tour of great food in buzzing, eclectic spaces and a couple (okay, a douzen of couple) of beers in various oldschool-shabby to fancy-stylish pubs. london, my food mecca. at one point, we ordered vino to go with our 10 starters (for 4 people): white wine.Continue reading
pavlova! i don’t think this ever gets boring. clouds of meringues, tart, boozy cherries on top, hints of cardamom… what’s not to like? in other words: i’m really into pavlova. i mean i wish i could be one. no! i really mean: i just really like pavlova. full stop. and i can’t wait for springContinue reading
only recently, i’ve discovered a major secret. ground shattering. earth moving. show stopping. bing bang secret. you know, as a food blogger i’m pretty much addicted to good looking food. not limited to the good looks, of course, because the taste is just as important if not more important, sine qua non, so to speak.Continue reading

as much as i love to cook and entertain, i’m not complaining when i’m invited for dinner, either. especially at my mom’s. she’s a grat cook and i’m always happy when she’s in one of those ‘showing off’ modes, like she was pre holidays on that particular night. i’ve kept the pictures hidden way tooContinue reading
i’ve come to terms with the fact that i’m probably not a wild thing anymore… as in: i’m not a party goer anymore. those times feel long over. nowadays, i much prefer a godly sleeping time and my bed to a night at a bar or club. the sunrise is something i enjoy seeing onContinue reading
i’ve always wanted to make cake pops, but then again, for some reason or other, they do feel a little premature…? you know, like studs on clothes and shoes (some might say) - although i totally have a weak spot for studs (still). this does not mean i’m working hard on not buying anything withContinue reading
now that it’s back to work time - and i must say it feels a little bit strange to type, after 2 weeks of almost-abstinence from anything with a (proper) keyboard - i’m hiding in the comfort that is a hearty meal. like shepherd’s pie. let’s hang on to some lush dishes just that littleContinue reading
