Joy of Everyday Cooking

We need routines to make everyday life easier. A basic routine saves time and stress, not having to think what comes next and helping you having things done. However… what happens if things have become a little dull? The secret to making things interesting again is to break the routine. We want you to find joy in everyday cooking. That is why we have found some original recipes which are also healthy and easy to prepare. We bring you a cold cream made with carrot, an unusual ingredient, kebabs that you don’t need to grill and ideas to serve ice cream for dessert. We hope you like them.

Now, it is time for something good.

Healthy Eating

Refreshing and healthy, because of their vitamin content, home made juices are ideal to have at any time during the day, while a chilled cream is the appetizer we crave when the sun gets too hot. Find some cold and delicious recipes.

Seasonal Eating

Finger licking kebabs, yes, finger licking because in a kebab, ingredients are clean of skin, seeds and bones, and already in a skewer. There is no need to use knife and fork, give yourself permission to eat with your fingers. What is extraordinary about these recipes? We are bringing recipes for kebabs you don't need to grill, just use the microwave or the steamer. Now you can enjoy the pleasure of grilled-like food when you don't own a grill. Try any of the quick lamb kebabs, healthy seafood kebabs, or easy fruit kebabs.

Do you fancy ice cream for dessert? Find here some traditional and some new ideas.

Josie, from Florida, was the other runner up to our summer contest. She declined to let us meet her at the stove, but sent us this message:

I am soo happy! I thought I was an indifferent cook. I had never done anything like this. But everyone kept saying my apple BBQ sauce was good I decide to enter it when I saw your invitation. The truth is I first got that recipe from some Internet site and changed it a little to the way we like it at home. Thank you so much!

Josie also sent some of her favorite dressings to complement her sauce. Try her sour cream, Louis, or chili coriander dressing recipes.
