Apple & Chickpea cake with a lemony cream cheese frosting
Are you up for yet another bean cake?? Yes, I am talking about a cake made almost entirely out of beans. It’s free of grain, dairy, added fat and has a very low sugar content. You might already have tried the black bean chocolate cake I posted a while back, well think of this as its little sister. I still have a …
Chocolate, strawberry and peanut butter shake with a touch of crunchy cocoa beans
Whenever I get yet another health craze I alway seem to wanna eliminate all the ‘bad’ and ‘unhealthy’ food from my diet in order to establish balance and get rid of sugar cravings (yeah I get them too). But still I somehow never seem to include the elimination of my own sweet creations. It’s not that all of my sweet …
Mixed super salad w. butter beans, hokkaido and spinach
Oh my, the sun is shining again!! It is absolutely amazing how you can feel this change throughout all of your body. From one day to another my level of energy has shifted completely. I am smiling all the time, I have crazy urges to wash my windows, buy colourful flowers, wear sneakers and leather jacket, go down town to …
Homemade bounty with a dark and rich chocolate coating & creamy coconut filling
I don’t believe that there is a single person in this world who doesn’t know what a bounty bar is (apparently called mounds bars in the US). It is a prime member of the chocolate-snack-bar-family and it has cool friends as snickers, mars and twists… Unfortunately these little guys are kinda pumped up on sugar steroids and funny E-numbers – …
Pizza with cauliflower crust & creamy goats cheese
This past week I have been thinking about the year so far, I even made a little poster on Instagram picturing my 2013. I think it’s been some quite wonderful 46 days filled with a lot of love, family time and many thoughts on in which direction the future might lead me, both career wise but also some more personal reflections. I …
Danish ‘fastelavnsboller’ with a coconut and lemon twist
You all know carnivals – colourful parties with people in costumes and all sort of traditions according to the different cultures and geographic location. Here in Denmark it is called Fastelavn, which is primarily a festive day for children all over the country. They get to wear costumes, play games, eat a lot of candy and go trick or treat …
Stuffing my head with banana bread
It is time for me to share one of my favourite bread recipes. It is in the sweet-bread category along with pumpkin bread, lemon loaf and zucchini bread! It is amazing and due to the fact that it is a ‘bread’ you should definitely enjoy it with a good layer of butter! It is a pretty cool recipe since it …
Beautiful bean salad with lemon dressing and fresh herbs
I personally think that beans unfairly have gotten a bad rumour, with people accusing them of being dull and dry. Well I think it very much depends on how you cook, prepare and serve them, and in fact beans are very versatile. Who would have thought that the main ingredient in the best chocolate cake ever is black beans, or …
Lentil & leek pot with curry, seasonal apples and a lot of cabbage
There is no doubt about how much I love food. All kinds of food, all cultures, kitchens, flavours, textures and I could go on like this forever. Unfortunately you can’t have it all everyday and sometimes I do get stuck and totally uninspired when it comes to the never ending question: What should we have for dinner. This is sometimes …
Vegetarian mushroom stew with velvet celeriac mash
Finally I have finished my exam paper and I am now having a mini vacation. The only thing I plan on doing is to relax, go for a lot of long and beautiful snowy walks and eat warm, comforting winter food. I have started my vacation today where I basically haven’t left the couch. Sometimes you just need one of …

Right now my head is totally filled up with all kinds of clinical nutrition stuff. I am in the middle of writing my exam paper about obesity in all different aspects. And while my cheeks are flushing, my stomach rumbling and my head spinning like crazy I still feel like writing a new post. Because even at the most stressful …
