Rhubarb and Strawberry Ice Lollies
These lollies are delicious. They don't contain any dairy products and are therefore perfect for those who are intolerant or allergic to dairy.
Carrot Fritters
These fritters could be named carrot cakes (as they might be called in some countries). However I can't use the name 'cake' with anything savoury.
Albert's Carrot Cake
This is a recipe that one of the website's users sent me one day. It's a raw carrot cake recipe and absolutely divine. It is packed with vitamins, protein, healthy fats and fibre.
Spicy Orange and Carrot Muffins
I love the spicy aroma that surrounds my kitchen when making these muffins. I absolutely love the combination of orange and spice, it is so divine.
Carrot Cake (My Very First Cake)
This is the very, very first cake that I baked. I am ashamed to say that I was 24 years old.
My Sister in Law's Apple Pie
My sister in law gave me this recipe although I am not sure where it is from originally.
Beet Salad - Two Versions (one spicy, one sweet)
Beets have been gaining more recognition in recent years in Iceland.
Autumn
Autumn is my favourite season. I love the colours of the leaves and the slight chill in the air although it is still fairly warm during sunny days.
4 Market Place Cafe's Broccoli and Leek Soup
Maria and Pete are dear friends of ours who used to own and run a cafe called 4 Market Place in central London (very close to where we used to live).
A Drink for Sore Throats
I don't get a sore throat often and I rarely ever get a flu or a cold (thankfully).
A Simple Fish Soup
This soup is both very simple to make and cheap and perfect mid week, especially when you have a bit of cooked leftover fish in the fridge.
Albert's Carrot Cake
This is a recipe that one of the website's users sent me one day. It's a raw carrot cake recipe and absolutely divine. It is packed with vitamins, protein, healthy fats and fibre.
Almond and Pine Nut Cake with Sweet Potato Frosting
You might think it strange to make a cake with a sweet potato frosting? Sounds ridiculous, I know. You will have to trust me on this one though.
Almond Coconut Loaf with a Bilberry Base
I love fresh blueberries, especially the lovely bilberries found in the Icelandic highlands (and in some other parts of the world).
American Blueberry and Walnut Muffins
Blueberries are so called "super foods" as they contain a lot of antioxidants. They also contain iron and vitamin C and are therefore very good for you if you are anaemic.
Apple and Bran Muffins
Ever since I was little, growing up in Iceland I dreamt of keeping an apple tree. I love apples and my father always used to slice an apple each night when watching his TV programs.
Apple and Grape Juice
This is one of the shortest recipe on my website. Short doesn't have to be bad though, right? This is a very refreshing and lovely drink, especially in summer.
Apple and Raisin Muffins
I love these muffins freshly baked. I often make them when I have apples that are turning slightly soft (past their best).
Apple and Walnut Cake
This cake is very heart friendly and good for you since it contains omega 3 fatty acids, a special type of protective fat the body can not manufacture.
Autumn Soup with Sweet Potatoes and Apples
This must be the perfect autumn soup! It is warming, slightly sweet (not too much though), mild and packed with vitamin C. This soup is quite popular with kids and easy on the stomach.
Beet and Apple Detox Juice
This is a fantastically healthy juice, packed with vitamins and antioxidants.
Beet Salad - Two Versions (one spicy, one sweet)
Beets have been gaining more recognition in recent years in Iceland.
Beet Salad with Parmesan and Rocket Leaves
This is the perfect late summer salad. It has vibrant colours and a slightly sweet taste with a peppery kick. I adore beets (beetroots), especially baked as it brings out their subtle sweetness.
Berry and Rhubarb Ice Lollies
These lollies are as colourful as they are healthy. They are layered and I always like layered colours in food because it is fun to look at and gives you a mini selection of different tastes.
Birthday Nut and Date Cake
I often make this cake for my birthday which is why it bears the same name. I love serving delicious cakes that are gluten free, egg free, lactose free and vegan.
Black Bean and Sweetcorn Soup
This is an easy mid-week soup, perfect for the left over vegetables found at the back of the fridge.
Blueberry and Banana Ice Cream
Yum..I absolutely love this ice cream. When I first made it I made a large batch and put the leftover into the freezer and then completely forgot about it.
Blueberry and Coconut Water Smoothie
What can I say.....if there was a competition for the most healthy drink, this would probably get first prize...and the second...and the third...It would also receive an honorary award for being ex
Blueberry and Pecan Muffins
Blueberries and pecans are a match made in heaven (or any other nice place). They are totally meant to be together, especially in muffins.
Blueberry Cheesecake
Cheese cakes are often mistaken for healthy cakes although they are most often far worse than mine.
Lísa's Chocolate Chip Cookies
If you have been using my site you should be familiar with my friend Lísa by now. We are foodie friends and know each other through my website. We share recipes, thoughts on food and much more.
Tomato Mini Nut Loafs
These are lovely little loafs/patties which are perfect on your Christmas table if you are a vegetarian. They also look quite festive if you team them with a nice, green salad.
