I’ve always loved making “barbecue” baby back ribs, it’s messy and yummy. However I do think that it shouldn’t be called BBQ as it is oven cooked. This recipe is a product of laziness. My excuse is “it was too late to go to the shop to get the exact ingredients” knowing that there is a…
Creamy Carrot and Coriander Soup
Need something quick, filling and healthy for the coming cold winter season.

Easy Blackberry Jam
If you are lucky to have some berry bush laden with fruit closeby, then this might interest you. We love picking wild berries from the forest and this year, it was a bountiful harvest. As we still have homemade mead we decided to make our harvest into jam. This should last up to a year if…
