Restobieres

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of eating at the Restobieres restaurant in Brussels. A true must try if you come to Brussels.

The restaurant has a beer theme, with every traditional food made with a different kind of Belgian beer. From sausages, cheese croquettes to waffles. I also enjoyed the lovely traditional decorations, which really tied in with the theme!

Maputo Market

One of my favourite things to do when I go to Maputo, Mozambique is to visit the colourful markets.

The art is beautifully inspiring and crafty. From the many designs and shapes of the capulanas to the smooth and silky wooden sculptures and smells.

A great way to spend an afternoon!

Herby Tomato and Ricotta Parcels

I love making little parcels for delicious light lunches for friends and family. They are non-fuss and quick to make. So are great if you are short on time.

A few days ago I filled them with tomatoes, ricotta and herbs and served them with a light salad and hummus. They were truly Yum Yum.

To make the parcels I placed three thin sheets of pastry in a cupcake tray, drizzled with olive oil and placed in the oven until they were formed. Approximately 5 minutes.

Each parcels was then filled with fresh oregano, garlic, olive oil, tomatoes, ricotta, salt and pepper. Placed back in the oven for another 5 to 10 minutes.  Viola...There you have it!

The little parcels were served with homemade hummus and a light salad. The salad was made of corn, rocket, cucumber and tomatoes with a balsamic vinaigrette. Simple and Bright.

This year I had the pleasure of entering 2014 in my parents beautiful home in Mozambique.

Every year i am amazed by the gardens true beauty and this year I have decided to share it with you.

I hope you entered the year well and that 2014 will blossom.

Wrapping up lunch

One of the easiest, most delicious and healthy lunch ideas is wraps.

You can choose any filling you want from: meats, fish, sauces and veggies.

I made a wrap the other day usig leftover Morrocan chicken with rocket, tomatoes, hummous and a yougurt sauce. Yummmy!

Wire your Home

I am obsessed with using wire objects at home, be it for shelves, hangers, baskets, furniture, or even just as decorations. I love the rustic feel and how well it compliments all colours, styles and shapes in your home. 

Below is one of the wire baskets we have at home and use for storing onions in our kitchen.

I have assembled a few lovely ideas and hope it will inspire you to get wired up:
