Pesto and pasta is a classic combination. And pesto has always been my favorite. Remember my first recipe on the blog? But this time here’s a pesto with a slight twist. My latest cooking discovery is “sun-dried tomatoes”. Sun dried tomatoes are nothing but ripe tomatoes that are salted and dried to preserve.

Whats better than having a steaming bowl of homemade minestrone soup for dinner after a long day? Incredibly rich and flavorful, this minestrone soup is as hearty as it is beautiful. A minestrone is an Italian soup made with fresh vegetables, tomatoes, beans, herbs and pasta. It is made with minimal effort and the end result is a wholesome and healthy soup.

There are lots of dishes that, ever since I have found my passion in cooking, I have wished to make for myself and then, recreate in my own way… Ratatouille is one of the dishes that comes under the list. I have long since been fascinated with this one. The very name suggests freshness, vibrancy, colors and flavors.

How pretty is this hummus tart! And trust me not only is it a treat to look at but is incredibly delicious too. At times I am amazed at how a few simple ingredients can bring out such delicate and interesting flavors. This tart starts with a flaky puff pastry crust that’s crisp yet melts in your mouth and is brimming over with hummus and roasted vegetables. It’s extremely tasty, plus is super easy to make for dinner and impressive enough to serve at a dinner party. The rich, hearty flavors make this a recipe for all to enjoy.

Similar to minestrone, this hearty, authentic Italian bean soup is perfect for a chilly evening.

A thick slice of toasted bread, or crostino, adds crunch, and canellini beans provide an excellent source of protein and a creamy texture.

Garlic, rosemary, and a pinch of Calabrian red pepper flakes give this soup its delicious, comforting flavor. If you have some on hand, you can even garnish each bowl with a sprinkle of grated pecorino romano.

Tip: After soaking the beans, remember to drain off the starchy liquid and rinse the beans well before adding them to the soup pot.

This soup is a variation of the classic pasta e fagioli, but it is made without the addition of pasta.

The grilled crostino soaks up the broth and adds to the comforting feeling you get when enjoying this dish.

It?s a perfect main course for a cold night, and…

This easy to make fluffy and filling omelette is great for breakfast or brunch.

This recipe is ideal if you want to cut down on carbs as it is quite filling on its own and you can skip on eating bread along with it.

I made this after church on Sunday for brunch and my son ‘inhaled’ his meal with a glass of milk. I had mine at a more sedate and civilised pace with a lovely cup of tea.

Filled with red onions, green peppers and any left-over meat or sausages adds amazing flavour to this dish.

You can vary the taste by using different meats of your choice. The combination of the red onion and green peppers seasoned with some garlic and smoked paprika gives a beautiful flavour.

Adding some almond meal to the whisked eggs gives the omelette some body and holds the stuffing a bit better.

For once I feel like I’ve had a proper summer. It’s been warm and sunny both here in London and in Sweden. I’ve still got a tan and I swam in the sea several times. Had al fresco meals and lots of rosé. One might think I’ve had enough of summer for now, but I would happily continue the summer for another few months. But, because we had a real summer I am also, at the same time, looking forward to autumn. To cosy nights in, lit candles, blankets, darker colours and heartier dinners. And red wine instead of rosé.

And just like the trench coat and the leather jacket are good transitional pieces in our wardrobes I feel this pizza is the ultimate transitional dinner dish.

Mushrooms always get me excited about autumn and their earthy taste is just what I’d want right now. Before the soups and stews…

I spent almost a whole week in Norfolk with my boyfriend’s family at the end of August. We had gorgeous weather (hello heatwave!) and such a lovely time.

And it must have been the nice weather and the proximity to the sea that inspired one of his sisters to barbecue a whole fish. And not just any fish, but a large (huge!) turbot! It was a nice size for the amount of people to feed but it did look ridiculous on the little coal barbecue we insisted on using.

Despite the poor optics it actually worked really well grilling the big fish and the actual cooking time was only approx 30 minutes. The hardest part was turning it over and making a secure tin foil parcel that size to hold all the butter!

I do hope we can inspire you to try new (and perhaps a little crazy) things! And…
