Real food for real life.
Some mornings just call for a bowl that feels like sunshine, and this quinoa breakfast bowl is exactly that. Creamy coconut quinoa, ripe mango, tart cranberries and a good crunch of toasted cashews and coconut flakes, it’s the kind of breakfast that makes you actually want to get out of […]
This is the dressing I make on repeat, olive oil, lemon, Dijon, a little honey and garlic, whisked together in about five minutes. Nothing fancy, just a good everyday dressing that works on pretty much any salad. The mustard helps it emulsify so it stays smooth and doesn’t separate as […]
You know, me and my wraps. If there’s a quick way to turn “not much in the fridge” into something worth eating, it’s usually this one. Falafel, a big handful of greens, whatever crunchy veg needs using up, rolled into something that takes fifteen minutes and tastes like way more […]
Sometimes less is really more. The most simple easy soup imaginable. Makes you appreciate the little things, appreciate the taste of just 1 product, the broccoli.

A colourful lentil salad with roasted sweet potato, green asparagus, avocado, tomatoes and crunchy cashews, finished with a simple honey mustard dressing. Fresh, nourishing and perfect for days when you want something healthy that still feels comforting.
Easy fluffy vegetable omelette with spinach, mushrooms and tomatoes, perfect for using leftover vegetables and making a quick healthy meal.
Even though it is summer here, sometimes I just feel like a warm nurturing dish. Something that warms my body, gives my face a glow and, as a bonus, is full of all the right nutrients.
Bam! Switching all my carbs to wholegrain/wholewheat, so wanted to try a poke bowl with brown rice instead of sushi rice. And thank god, it does not disappoint, too much :-), and I feel very fulfilled. For the salmon skin lovers like me, bake it (salted) in the oven on […]
Inspired by one of my favorite restaurants in Amsterdam North, Pllek. I would move mountains to make some time to go get their mackerel salad or sandwich. This is my attempt to mimic the salad and its not disappointing! I forgot about fennel…., but now its back and tastier then […]
Never ever made this before, but now Im a fan. Such a good thing to have in the fridge and add to salads, or Indonesian food or something. You can make it with all kinds of veggies ofcourse, but this simple version is with cauliflower and carrot.
Hello you, My name is Peggy and this is a place where I share recipes, life hazards, philosophical mind spinsels and everything somehow wrapped in a coat of food. Because I find that food talks life. I love dishes that are quick, nourishing, pretty, made with love and sometimes a little bit messy. Real food for real life.
