“Dandelion wine. The words were summer on the tongue. The wine was summer caught and stoppered”. Ray Bradbury’s words made me recently ponder over how to “preserve” the SEA. How to create something that would taste like the Sea ♥ And today I’ve eventually realized this lingering idea by making the SeaWeed muffins! Seaweed in…

Beet & carrot patties with goat cheese
These vegetable patties are made of beet and carrot pulp left after juicing! Since I’m making fresh juices quite often, there had to be found ways to use juice pulp. The pulp is full of fiber! I tried to incorporate it into various recipes adding to cakes’ batter and vegetable stews. However, these veggie patties/burgers became my favorite…
Rice egg & spinach bowl with yogurt-mustard dressing
It can be a warm salad, it can be an independent meal. Includes a proper amount of proteins, carbohydrates and fats to provide energy. To be served for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Basmati can be replaced by wild or any other type of rice. Cardamom is optional. I suggest to give a try to cardamom-flavored rice…

Cheese & parsley turmeric muffins
Spontaneous and simple things are always best! In case with these delicious muffins this principle worked as well:) I had 40 minutes for preparing something, before friend would come over.

Caramelized onion tart
This tart could be called “quiche” as well. My basic low fat pastry recipe is not as crisp as usual pastries, but it can be an alternative for using in pie casings. For more tender and fatty tart base, replace it with shop-bought or prepared in advance homemade shortcrust pastry. Here skipped the blind baking phase (baking…
Tzatziki – Greek yogurt cucumber dip
Tzatziki is also known as cacık in Turkey and North Cyprus. It is a creamy thick Greek yogurt sauce with cucumbers, fresh dill and garlic. Tzatziki is used to accompany lots of Mediterranean dishes. I like to use it simply as a dip with toasted dark bread and fresh or grilled vegetables. To achieve the needed flavor and texture you…
