Ginger beef in lettuce wraps Because we love love love Korean food, our own quick fusion variant of a Korean dish, these Korean beef lettuce wraps. These kind of things is what keeps from being a vegetarian just yet, maybe I’ll find a good alternative someday, but for now, get […]
A nourishing, creamy lentil dahl with roasted cauliflower, warming spices, fresh herbs and yogurt. Comfort food that leaves you feeling grounded, satisfied and energised instead of heavy.
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.
A warm salmon poke bowl with brown rice, crisp vegetables, avocado, edamame and a punchy miso marinade. Topped with sesame, spring onion and either crispy salmon skin or nori, it’s fresh, satisfying and easy to make for lunch or dinner. Bam! Switching all my carbs to wholegrain/wholewheat, so wanted to […]
Inspired by one of my favourite restaurants in Amsterdam North, Pllek. This special place really is a little gem.

Yes you are busy, working on the computer, deadlines, and want to grab a quick bite. Forget that quick sandwich, instead go for a quick & easy vegetable bowl. Grabbing something done is easy, but this takes only ten minutes longer, will taste way better and will also make you […]
I love wraps, salad wraps, corn wraps, vegetable wraps, halloumi wraps, salmon avocado wraps, what ever the.. wraps. And art puzzles, one of my guilty pleasures, that hardly anyone I know understands. Puzzles.., is that not for retired grandmas with not much to do. Well maybe, but also its something […]
Nutritious kale in a pineapple / coconut smoothie. To not get stuck in my go to veggies, trying something different today! A kale smoothie…
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.
