Everything Salad
| August 8, 2010 | Posted by Luschka under Favourite Recipes I Have To Share, Food, Seasonal Cooking, Spring, Summer |
Everything salad can also be everything pasta. It is a quick and easy way of clearing out all those left over bits in the fridge and the vegetable bowl, while making a great, nutritious and filling meal. The key to a good ‘Everything Salad’ is colour and variety. An easy guide is to use the…
Just Have to Share – Bosnian Borek (Meat Pitas)
| July 25, 2010 | Posted by Luschka under Favourite Recipes I Have To Share, Food |
We spent last week with my sister and her boyfriend and his family in Croatia, where his Bosnian mother cooked us three meals a day unless we went out. She doesn’t speak a word of English so conversation was a non-starter, making getting recipes out of her very difficult so I have pieced this one…
Just Have to Share – Zucchini Flowers (Courgettes)
| July 18, 2010 | Posted by Luschka under Favourite Recipes I Have To Share, Food, Foraging for Food, Seasonal Cooking, Summer |
I love zucchini flowers. They don’t taste much like zucchini’s, or courgettes as they’re known in England, but instead have a flavour entirely unique. We first had them in a café in Varazze, Italy, then a few years later in a restaurant in Rome, stuffed with mozzarella. We have often scoured markets near us searching…
The Camping Kitchen
| July 16, 2010 | Posted by Luschka under Travel, Travel Tips |
As much as I love camping, little is more frustrating than trying to make food in the middle of nowhere only to find you don’t have the right equipment. It’s like cooking in someone else’s kitchen: it’s really hard and the food doesn’t taste as good. Unless you are prepared and comfortable with your equipment,…

Foraging for Food – Lime leaves stuffed with Bacon, Barley and Lentils
| May 30, 2010 | Posted by Luschka under Food, Foraging for Food |
Lime leaves, from the tilia x europaea, fill the streets of London at the moment. These edible leaves make a great substitute for vine leaves. The leaves are best harvested in the spring, when they are still soft, and in the summer, the flowers make a refreshring drink. The tree doesn’t actually bare limes as…
Foraging for Food – Dandelion Fritters
| May 23, 2010 | Posted by Luschka under Favourite Recipes I Have To Share, Food, Foraging for Food, Seasonal Cooking, Spring, Summer |
We did something totally different last week: we went foraging for food! Now that might not sound particularly adventurous to some, but when you consider that I live in South London – in many ways a concrete jungle – it’s about as adventurous as it gets!

Back in shape, I’ve been taking photos again! There are quite a few of Ameli this time round, but I’m sure you don’t mind too much. You are here after all! Oh, but I cannot wait for summer.
As with so many things baby-related, I knew nothing about weaning and first foods a year ago. I had seen people spoon-feeding babies purée, and accepted that as how the process of learning to eat starts. In my journey into parenthood, however, I came across the term “Baby Led Weaningâ€, which really intrigued me. So much of my parenting style involves Ameli, my daughter, guiding us to knowing what’s right for her that this seemed a strange exception to make.
