Soup Salad with Carrot and Ginger

It began with warm waffles after school.

I grew up with grandmothers of the old school — the kind who made everything from scratch, who had lived through lean times and offered everything they had to anyone who came by. I took it all. Already at six years old, I would call mum from the hallway phone to ask if I could make waffles or bake buns while I waited for someone to come home.

Today the kitchen is still my favourite place. Good music on the speaker, a glass of wine on the counter, and something simmering on the stove — few things beat that. Here I share the recipes I make at home, always tested on family and friends first. Welcome in.
