It’s been a while since I participated in a food challenged. And today, I revive my food challenge participation by killing two birds with one stone and submitting a dish to both Foodblogs Schweiz’s and Anna’s challenges featuring seasonal produce. Foodblogs Schweiz uses rhubarb, strawberries, peppermint, lettuce, tomatoes and asparagus. Anna‘s food basket contains rhubarb,…

Vegan Sunflower Seed Spread 🌱
Cashew nuts are a popular basis for a variety of vegan cheese options. Even though I appreciate the taste and consistency of these plant-based products, I quite miss the local touch. Sunflower seeds are just the perfect alternative. Sunflower seed spread: Cover 100 g sunflower seeds with boiling water and let them sit for a…
Vegan: Salsify • Purple carrot • Apple • Wild garlic 🌱
I’m still working off my Easter sugar high and not quite ready for any sweet treats. Maybe I’ll be towards the end of the week. Until then, you’ll have to make do with this vegan dish. Blend one part wild garlic with one part olive oil and two parts soy yoghurt until smooth. Taste with…
Vegan Barba di Frate with Wild Garlic Pesto 🌱
Springtime means my blog’s birthday. Today, two years ago, I started blogging. Thank you, dear readers, for another amazing year! Springtime also means wild garlic. And time to go foraging.

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…
Pickled chard and rhubarb with wild garlic coated Vacherin Mont-d’Or and fried wild garlic bulbs
And the challenge continues. Last month, I wrote about the Food Blog Challenge organized by Foodblogs Schweiz and my three vegetarian dishes featuring hazelnut and carrots (a pie, pasta and a soup). This month, the provided food basket contained wild garlic, rhubarb, chicory, mint, spinach and chard. Challenging. Very challenging, indeed. I pulled all my…

Wild garlic soup with Onsen egg 💚
Are you familiar with wild garlic? In look, the leaves resemble the ones of the Lily of the Valley. In taste, it is very intense, so be careful with the dosage. This springtime herb can be used as seasoning, in salads or even turned into pesto. Wild garlic and eggs go very well together. I…
