bringing mindfulness to our plate
Pizza, pizza, pizza! I made some pizza before that consisted of a buckwheat-herb base and was simply srumptious! The recipe is right here at your fingertips. This time, I took a slightly different turn towards a similar goal: a quick yet delicious low-carb pizza that is […]
Recently, I’ve fallen in love with scones. I made them in the proper way: with butter and milk and what can I say. They were perfect. Sometimes, it’s worth going all in for the perfect baked goodie but usually, I rely on plant based milk and […]
In the morning, I oftentimes follow a specific routine. I get up, make tea, practise yoga, get dressed (or not), brew coffee and fix myself a pretty bowl with yoghurt, homemade granola, fresh fruits and peanut butter. I really, truly, fully enjoy that breakfast. But sometimes, […]
Hygge – this is the Danish word for a feeling we can experience in a warm space where we gather with kind people to share a meal. Hygge is a way of living, it is a word created to grasp the feeling of being at […]
Welcome to the very picturesque countryside of la France where cows gleefully chew their grass and birds build their cosy nests. For some reason I am very drawn to this country, though the reason does not entail the word croissant – I promise. This time, […]
Summer has arrived – it’s hot, it’s sweaty, it’s sunny and about time for a lush picnic in the beautiful, stunning, lush park in front of our house! We gathered a bunch of fellow foodies (some of whom you know already such as Lloyd, the […]
Nothing in this world is at it seems. Except, possibly, porridge. – Stephen Fry Nate, also known as the Willy Wonka of Porridge, is much excited about oats. Oats? Yes, oats! He does enjoy food in general but his special love and attention go to our […]
I went all in for these beautiful scones: butter and milk are ingredients I rarely use but for this recipe, I went back to basics. No buckwheat flour, no coconut oil, no oat milk, just simple whole wheat, butter and milk. Through People Who Cook, my […]
Are you into chocolate like I am? Like, truly into chocolate and sweet treats? Because in that case you’re very likely to like what’s coming your way. These chocolate truffles are the perfect combination of crunchy nuts, sweet dates, bitter chocolate and a hint of […]
Read about how a plant based diet can protect your brain from neurotransmitter disbalance that may cause depression.
Oats for breakfast give us great fuel for the day and I usually don’t get tired of porridge or homemade granola. But I do enjoy to take my favourite ingredients and turn them into something new. Combining oats with a mashed banana, some oat milk, […]
Carrot cake never gets old! Don’t you agree? These orange fellas are perfect for baking because they are easily disguised, don’t have a super strong veggie flavour when hidden in baked goods and add a bit of colour to our sweet little treats. This time, […]
I’m really into dates and appreciate their rich sweetness in baked goods and energy balls. Do you, like me, also love eating them just like that? They are so satisfyingly sweet that it’s difficult to eat more than 2 or 3, don’t you think? Combining […]
What’s for dinner? In my case, it’s often this: roasted sweet potato, aubergine, red onion and garlic. What I love about this dish is that you can change the ingredients according to what your fridge offers. My favourite version is obviously this one but you […]
Guys, this is good. In fact this is so good that I urge you to bake this loaf of goodness as soon as you get your hands on a pack of beetroot. As slice (or two) of this loaf make for a great snack or […]
Welcome to chocolate & hazelnut heaven, my fellow foodies. This spread is never misplaced when it comes to sweet combinations; you can add this into your porridge, granola bowl, spread it onto a piece of toasted rye bread or dip your finger right into the […]
We did it again: we invited a bunch of fellow foodies and cooked up a storm – eight delicious dishes that are yet again inspired by out favourite chef Yotam Ottolenghi. Spring has arrived in Berlin (and also disappeared again) but before telling you all […]
Are you looking for a new, quick snack idea? I have a suggestion: coconut chips that have been seasoned not only with cinnamon but also with turmeric and maple syrup. That’s all. These chips aren’t just a yummy snack on the go but make the […]
I am German, what can I say: I love baked goodies. I remember that when I was a child, my parents would take me to our favourite wholesome bakery and let me chose a little baked treat. What memory stuck with me the most? The […]
A pinch of salt is an indispensable ingredient when it comes to baking. Whether making a cake or a batch of cookies, a little bit of salt always appears in the list of ingredients. Why? Because it enhances the flavour of your creation. It gives […]
Are you a cheese-lover? But either prefer not to eat cheese or it doesn’t sit well with your stomach? Here’s a solution that may get really close to our beloved cheesy flavour. Nutritional yeast plays the main character in this play and once you’ve tasted […]
Bananas are one of my most beloved foods and if I could, I’d put them into nearly everything. As most of us, I love a loaf of banana bread as well as banana pancakes for a pretty little (or rather scrumptious) breakfast ceremony. This time, […]
Salad season is starting to knock on our doors. When I want to make a quick lunch or dinner, I usually use some type of legume and combine it with (at least) a handful of fresh herbs, roasted nuts and dried fruits. To me, this […]
Pesto is pure flavour. Whether in pasta, salads, on pizza, in soups or as a spread onto a wholewheat cracker, pesto gives to much taste! And I can assure you: when making your own pesto, you don’t need to use half a bottle of olive […]
Brownies are gold. But do they need sugar, butter, eggs and wheat flour? Not at all! These tahini brownies are chocolatey, fudgy, perfectly sweetened, nutty and will melt on your tongue. They have ripe bananas, cocoa, tahini and hazelnut flour inside which is why they […]
This is Feli. Feli is a a passionate foodie and loves to cook (which is why I visited her in her home and also why she is now eternalised on this blog). She shares her love for food at yoga retreats where she whips together […]
I first wanted to call these my “what’s in these squares” but I thought it doesn’t sum up it’s deliciousness enough. Yum, yum, YUMMY! What else is there to say about these kiwi squares? I had ripe kiwis at home and was about to bake my […]
It’s time for these: lemon & chia cookies that give you that lemony zesty-sweet cake satisfaction. I created these when standing in my kitchen and looking at a bowl filled with gorgeous, bright yellow bio organic lemons. What should I do with them?, I wondered. For some […]
This is Lena. Lena is a one of a kind. She is a very sensual cook and a passionate baker. Her wisdom and insight won’t let you guess her age – she is the youngest People Who Cook cook yet. She grew up in Berlin […]
I recently moved to a new apartment in Berlin (one that is closer to trees and lakes and funnily enough wild boars). When moving here, I might have dropped the words I am a foodie. Did that resonate with my new housemate Stella? Very likely. Because […]
Coffee, chocolate and banana in one loaf? On top of all of this walnuts? HELL YES! I love baking loafs of any sort, because it gives me an accomplished feeling when pulling a risen loaf out of the oven! Banana bread is one of my […]
This is Melissa. Melissa is a ray of sunshine. She comes from South Africa and it seems that she brought some of that African sun with her to Berlin. It’s been a while since we last saw each other so it was lovely to be […]
Whenever I get home knowing that this meal is awaiting me, I get super excited. I am a fan of colourful bowls filled with roasted veggies, fresh herbs and a creamy, rich and flavourful dips to finish it off! Roasted eggplant is so yummy when […]
If you spend a least a little bit of time with me, you will have heard this sentence recently: ‘I LOVE BUTTERBEANS’! I annoy my housemate, sibling, friends and office colleagues with this and once they taste that heavenly take on hummus, they very well […]
Soup is boring? I don’t think so! I know some people who claim to not enjoy soup as much as other dishes and I think I know why: the soups they had up until this point missed one essential ingredient: crunch. Yep, crunch is what […]
This is Lloyd. Lloyd is a one of a kind. The first time we met, he walked into my living room, took a look at one of my plants and then – he saved it. Is this the modern version of heroism? I think so. […]
Dukkah is an Egyptian condiment that is a pretty delicious & nutritious topping! It consists of different spices, nuts and seeds and will enhance any meal that it is topped with. The ingredients are hazelnuts, cumin, coriander, sesame, fennel and salt. To achieve the richest […]
I. CAN’T. EVEN. I’ve created a recipe that I am SO EXCITED TO SHARE WITH YOU! This is it. I ate this beautiful flatbread and had to roll my eyes it was that good. I made an olive oil crust with buckwheat flour, topped it […]
Yum, yum, YUM! I love to eat porridge in the morning. It is so warming and comforting and can be topped with whatever you like – all kinds of fruits, nuts, seeds, yoghurt, honey or maple syrup, cinnamon and a sprinkle of cocoa nibs. Simply […]
Pancakes for breakfast never get old, do they? I love a good stack of yummy pancakes in the morning that aren’t drowning in sugary syrup or topped with fatty bacon (is that really a thing?!). Instead, I’m into coconut pancakes or these gorgeous buckwheat pancakes. And […]
Time for breakfast! This dish is super quickly assembled and prepared the night prior to our beloved breakfast celebration. The juices of the grated apple in combination with a little bit of lant-based milk make the oats soft and creamy, which is heaven when combined with […]
My love for cookies will never end. Did you hear me? Never! These babies are full of crunch, dark chocolate chips, roasted peanuts and – you might have not expected this – quinoa! If you like chocolate chip cookies, do yourself a favour and try these […]
When someone offers me a chocolate chip cookie, I am not very likely to take it. Why? Because nothing in me wants it: not my taste buds, not my food-loving heart and not my body that wants to be nourished. However, that does not mean […]
I’m sorry, you guys, because I hope that I don’t bore you with my beloved favourite ingredient: peanut butter! I honestly put this into nearly everything, whether savoury or sweet. Do I ever get tired? (Un)Fortunately not. This cake is peanut-butter-loaded, so it can only […]
Jam is yummy. But the storebought one is nearly always filled with up to 50% refined sugar! Now, that’s definitely not what I want to have in my breakfast bowl. A healthier option? Homemade raspberry chia jam that only requires 3 ingredients (plus a few […]
Recently, I’ve fallen in love with scones. I made them in the proper way: with butter and milk and what can I say. They were perfect. Sometimes, it’s worth going all in for the perfect baked goodie but usually, I rely on plant based milk and […]
Lentil soup? Already ticked that box. Roasted sweet potato? A classic. Apples on our morning porridge? We know what’s good. But you know what: let’s put those three together, add some spices and a can of coconut milk and enjoy an incredibly tasty, fruity, comforting […]
Dried apricots. A never ending goodie in my cupboard. I’m really into dried fruits and eat them as a snack all the time. Dried dates, dried prunes, dried dates, dried cherries, dried apples, dried pineapple, you name it! Apricots are of course part of this long […]
Cookies, cookies and even more cookies! I love small & sweet snacks in between my delicious and nutritious meals and these little baked goodies fulfill that craving perfectly. They are nutty, cinnamony and filled with chocolate ganache! What more could you possibly want? Right. buckwheat […]
The combination of something chocolatey and something fruity? PERFECT. There is nothing better. Chocolate and orange? A dream team! I didn’t have anything in particular in mind when getting into the kitchen this time and starting to whisk some ingredients together. All that guided me […]
My fellow foodies, I turned 25 years old! The quarter of a century. I think I like that number. 25. Yes, sounds about right! I celebrated in Berlin together with a colourful bunch of friends. Two friends of those in fact, Sofie and Sanna, came […]
Do you love shakshua? Me too. Saucy tomato sauce with fresh, crisp paprika along with Middle Eastern herbs and simmering eggs in the middle, potentially some crumbled feta and chopped mint on top of it all? Yeah, that’s poetry! I do love making the traditional […]
In need of a snack? I got one for ya! Maybe you fancy chickpeas as much as I do – which is why you’ll love what’s coming next: crunchy roasted chickpeas straight from the oven that you can eat as a salad topping, in a […]
WRAPS! Did you notice that there is not a single wrap recipe on Judilicious & Nutritious yet? Well, I did notice and it was about time for a little wrap-update. That’s why I’m delivering this delicious and nutritious dish to you – packed with colours, […]
The new year has arrived and to give you a little taste of what I have in store for you, I am releasing this gorgeous treat today! Chocolate date squares that have a hint of cinnamon, are fudgy on the bottom and crunchy on top […]
It’s time for change. Or more accurately: time means change. So many things have shifted in these past months, as they always do. As they must do. There is no constant and no safety line, I’ve come to realize that, I’ve come to fear that […]
You know what I recently felt like? A big, fat, lush, scrumptious, delicious and nutritious brunch. So what did I do about that longing to gather with friends and share delicious meals? Correct: I invited a bunch of people, went grocery shopping, started baking and […]
We did it a third time: gather Ottolenghi’s favourite ingredients at the table featuring chickpeas, aubergines, tahini, parsley, cilantro, lemon, cumin and a shit ton of olive oil! (we only had one bottle and had to make an emergency call to one of our guests […]
