In my twenties my sleep was exceptional and I couldn't imagine living with sleep issues. In my early thirties however, something changed. Falling asleep became a struggle. Waking up several times at night became a habit. And so did brain fog and physical exhaustion in the morning.  I thought it's just a stress problem and everything will turn to normal.Now I'm 36 and it didn't. But I learned to ...

This minestrone soup is all about adding in as many fresh green veggies you can find available! I imagined this soup as a healing pot that will infuse my cells with chlorophyl, oxygen and antioxidants, so they will wake up refreshed to a new life under the spring sun, balance the hormone production, enhance mood, and create energy for new projects, new ideas and new challenges.

It actually is, because the latest snowfalls just at the debut of March marked my overall balance and I need every fresh nutrient I can take to gain back my wellbeing.

You might have noticed convenient packets of spiced chickpeas in the snack aisle of your local supermarket, which is a bit of a new craze! These make for some super healthy snacks but unfortunately also contain some not-so-healthy additives and preservatives to help keep their shelf life.

If I would have to eat Middle Eastern veggie dishes for a lifetime, I would be the happiest girl in the world!

And this is mostly due to plant-based ingredient combinations that provide....

I spend a LOT of time in the kitchen, both for my photography projects and our own family meals, and I constantly try to optimise it in order to win more time for myself, for editing, for planning, research or simply relax.

When you are on a healthy, mostly plant based diet, you learn to get super creative in the kitchen. Some of the most amazing vegan desserts are now commonly being offered at big cafes and restaurants across the country. This avocado chocolate mousse is one that stops many non-vegetarians in their tracks, shocked that such a delicious dessert can be made practically out of just avocado and raw cacao. If you’re yet to ...

If you’re a fan of meal prep, then this recipe is great to cook at the beginning of a busy work week. It’s great as a grab-and-go snack, and a lot healthier than store bought cakes, that are packed full of additives and preservatives. I find you always have a little proud moment when you ...

The Japanese culture and way of life has always sparked my curiosity, in terms of the life-giving food that makes up the majority of their traditional diet. The Japanese people have the highest life expectancy in the world. You’ll find seaweed to be abundant across the Japanese diet, and much respected as a healing superfood.

As veggie patties, balls and burgers of all kind bathed in flavored tomato sauce are my all time favorite dish, there was a time I was struggling to find alternatives that don’t have a cardboard consistency!
