Magical pumpkin pieces in coconut milk, served in an African bowl

Magical Pumpkin in Coconut Sauce

I famously had a very similar side dish once in Nairobi which you can read all about in the The Spinach Dish From the Mystical House in Nairobi's Forest. It is a lovely, slightly sweet side dish with a delicate coconut aftertaste. It is absolutely lovely served with main dishes that include spinach, especially Indian and African food.

A very popular and healthy salad, packed with protein and low in fat

Tuna Salad

When preparing my husband's lunch I am always trying to maintain a balance of complex carbohydrates, protein and healthy fats.

A traditional Icelandic shrimp salad

Shrimp Salad

This is a classic, Icelandic salad, served with bread, on crackers, as sandwich fillings and often when there is a gathering of people such as for birthdays.

A lovely and colourful North African salad

Moroccan Orange and Olive Salad

This is a exceptionally lovely salad and a bit different than the salads we are used to since there is no lettuce or anything green in it.

A very healthy bread, full of fibre and goodness

Farmer's Bread

Ok I admit I actually don't know of any farmers or a farmers' wifes that make this bread.

Not exactly like the French do it but still nice!

Baguette

This has to be one of the simplest recipes to make, ever.

A lovely and flavourful combination, perfect with a slice of mild cheese

Pesto, Parmesan and Olive Bread

I tried these bread rolls with an African Zanzibar tomato soup I often make.

One of my favourite breads for toasting

Cornmeal and Mixed-seeds Bread

The texture of this bread is very nice and it is an excellent bread for freezing and toasting. Although the bread includes a fairly long ingredient list, it is quite easy to make.

Lovely buns with pistachios and hazelnuts, rich in protein and fibre

Coconut and Pistachio Rolls (Buns)

This might somehow sound like a strange combination, pistachios, hazelnuts and coconut in a bread but somehow it works and quite well I might add.

A wholesome bread, perfect for lunch with a slice of cheese or healthy jam

Mixed-seeds Bread

I love this bread fresh out of the oven with a slice of cheese and healthy jam (without preservatives or added sugar of course).
