This basic broth is one of my feel-good recipes for cold days and/or mood swings. Based on ancient Chinese medicine it strengthens the immune system and the kidneys, and thus vitality.

My whole family loves risotto and it is a regular dish in my house. The lovely dried porcini mushrooms add a earthy flavour to the creamy rice.

 This nice and warming stew is especially good, when it is damp and cold outside...

We looooove hummus  - in every possible way! So when I found this genius recipe on the internet on food52, I immediately started to make my own version and the result was absolutely great!

The lovely smell of this freshly baked delicious rolls on a Sunday morning makes the rest of my family crawl out of bed immediately;-) They are very easy to make and can be prepared in advance.

 As I love the typical English Shepard´s Pie topping with mashed potato, I just combined it with a healthy and yummy nutbase  and spinach avocado spread (thank you, Jamie Oliver for the inspiration;-)

We have a lot of South American influences in the Tenerife kitchen. This is how I came to know and use sweet potatoes... These delicious chips are one of my favourites and a lovely side dish for barbecues, Burger or just a salad.

Artichokes did not necessarily belong to my families favourites – especially the pickled artichokes from the can are no pleasure to eat at all for us. But since we started growing fresh artichokes in our garden, I began to experiment... and this recipe is just soooo delicious!

Sick and tired of butter and cheese on bread? Try this lovely spread, that is easy to make and full of healthy ingredients.

Beetroot grows beautifully in my organic garden here in Tenerife... they are full of minerals and vitamins and especially good for persons with iron deficiency.
