Ratatouille is the star dish in a kids movie about a very talented rat, who becomes a chef. In the movie, a famous food critique remembers his mom’s ratatouille and appreciates the classic French dish prepared from whatever veggies were found in the kitchen that day. This is exactly what it is – whatever summer veggies

It’s a sauce to make if you have an overflow of tomatoes, especially overripe and maybe not pretty enough for a tomato carpaccio… The list of ingredients is very short, it’s simple and it tastes like summer. If you like it very much you can have it as a  soup as well.

This French, ‘slow cooker type’ recipe brings out the unique flavor of lamb, arriving at the end of the cooking process at a piece of meat that literally falls apart. It is super simple, although takes certain planning, because it should spend in the oven minimum 7 hours, but I often do it for 12

A healthy, weekday dinner. Lots of superfoods, so should be good for you! You can replace the proposed vegetables with anything else you will find in your fridge, especially peppers, carrots or beans. You can also add freshly fried shrimp or chicken if you don’t care about it being vegan.

A beautiful cheesy sauce which works great with pasta. Invented by an Italian restaurateur (named Alfredo of course) consisted only of Parmesan and butter, then upgraded in the US with cream and garlic.  Yummie. You can add  fried chicken to it to make it a more complete meal. Some add broccoli, but I don’t believe

The star of this dish is the ginger. It gives the sauce this spicy (but not hot) flavour, slightly then lightened by the lemongrass and coconut milk, which in the end beautifully marries with crispy shrimp. It can be an appetizer, or a main dish (depending how many prawns you want to serve per person),

Another recipe with the super healthy buckwheat. Recently I am more and more into eating anything but meat, so I end up with what else can I do with vegetables and alike. This is a recipe for a full fledged meal, healthy and tasty and, obviously easy! The most difficult, if you do not leave
