Vegan Good Friday Soup with Walnuts 🇨🇭

Thursday means Swiss Food Discovery day. And this Thursday, it was my turn to share a Swiss recipe. Something I’d completely forgotten about in the wake of the Corona crisis. After homeschooling and home office, I somehow managed to throw together a dish and post a picture on Instagram. The recipe follows today with a…

Vegan: Apple and Potato 🌱

In the Swiss cuisine, there’s a variety of dishes featuring apple and potato. On this plate, I’ve combined a few of them in a completely new manner. And you know the best part? It’s completely vegan.

The reason is…

Moon milk – take a sip of that name. Doesn’t it sound dreamy? Because that’s what it’ll make you. Moon milk is the ultimate bedtime drink for a good night’s sleep. Bring milk of your choice (I used soy) to a simmer. Whisk in ¼ tsp ashwagandha, ½ tsp tumeric, ½ tsp cinnamon and ½…
