Fresh and crunchy Waldorf salad
salad that completely won me over (or rather, won my taste buds). Crisp, light, slightly tangy, balanced with sweetness, and surprisingly filling at the same time. Waldorf salad was created in 1896 during a charity ball at the Waldorf Astoria New York in New York City. Its creator was maître d’hôtel Oscar Tschirky, known as “Oscar of the Waldorf.” Interestingly, he was not a professional chef but was responsible for organizing and managing the restaurant service. The original recipe was extremely simple and consisted only of apples, celery, and mayonnaise. It did not include nuts or grapes. Over the course of the 20th century, the recipe was modified many times.…

Juicy Watermelon and Feta Salad
I’m a big believer in eating fruit in season Watermelon season is here, so it appears on our table almost every day. Watermelon is made up of more than 90% water, so eating it on its own won’t keep you full for long. It’s a bit like drinking a glass of juice – you’re mainly getting carbohydrates, while it’s lacking the protein and fat that help keep you satisfied and maintain steadier energy levels. That’s why I like to pair it with a good source of protein and a little healthy fat. One of the best examples is this watermelon, feta and mint salad. Although it’s most commonly associated with…

Creamy Almond Milk That Never Separates
You’ll find countless almond milk recipes online. But this one is truly exceptional. Maybe you’ve made homemade almond milk before — it tasted pretty good, but after a night in the fridge it separated by the next day. And when you added it to coffee, instead of turning it creamy and smooth, it became grainy and curdled. That happens because it’s missing one key ingredient: lecithin. Lecithin is a natural emulsifier that binds fats and water together, preventing the milk from separating. What’s more, it’s one of the richest sources of choline — a nutrient absolutely essential for brain development, from conception all the way into old age. Choline supports…

Fast and Easy Hollandaise Sauce
If you’ve already read my post aboutcholine and how important it is for the nervous system — especially during pregnancy — you’re probably ready to start eating more eggs for breakfast. And for good reason! Eggs are not only one of the best sources of choline, but they also keep you feeling full for longer, which means less snacking throughout the day. But after a while, even eggs can start to feel a little boring… and that’s where hollandaise sauce comes in. It tastes incredible with poached eggs, but it’s also delicious with: This recipe turns out perfectly every time and is ideal even for busy mornings. Just take it…

Lactation tea for increasing milk supply
When a baby is born, many mothers naturally assume that the newborn will immediately latch on, and the milk will start flowing effortlessly. In reality, however, things can be very different. Lactation is a process that does not always begin as smoothly as guides suggest. Additionally, stress and fatigue can effectively suppress milk production. Fortunately, there are natural ways to gently support a nursing mother in boosting her milk supply. Fenugreek and fennel have long been recommended in traditional practices as plants with potential galactagogue properties, meaning they may help increase milk production. Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) and lactation Fennel is one of the most commonly used herbs to support breastfeeding.…

Raw vegan kale crisps with a cheesy twist
We all know that kale is the true king of leafy greens – packed with iron, folate, and chlorophyll. It supports fertility, helps regulate hormones, and strengthens the body both during pregnancy and when trying to conceive. But let’s be honest – in the fall, the craving for green smoothies disappears like leaves from the trees. That’s why I found another way to get my chlorophyll fix – a delicious, raw vegan kale crisps Kale chips are raw, crunchy, and have a slightly cheesy taste (without a single gram of cheese). They’re made from simple ingredients – vegetables, nuts, and a bit of nutritional yeast (not to be confused with…

Make Your Own Mayonnaise: A Healthier and Yummier Choice
Why make homemade mayonnaise when you can buy ready-made? That’s a good question. Today, stores offer a huge variety of mayonnaises – even organic versions, ones with olive oil, or without preservatives. If you use mayonnaise only occasionally, an occasional store-bought portion probably won’t harm you. But if you like mayonnaise and use it regularly – or would like to, but have doubts about its health effects – read this post till the end. Mayonnaise is basically a very simple product: oil, egg, mustard, and vinegar or lemon juice. The problem is that 99% of store-bought mayonnaises use refined oils such as rapeseed (canola) or sunflower oil. While cold-pressed sunflower…

Homemade Cashew Milk – The Simplest, Healthiest, and Creamiest
If you’re looking for a plant-based milk that not only tastes amazing but also genuinely supports your health – you absolutely have to try homemade cashew milk. It’s my all-time favourite among all plant-based drinks. Not only is it incredibly easy to make, but it’s also natural, nourishing, and far superior to most store-bought alternatives.

Healthy Low-Carb Orange Cake – Gluten-Free & Delicious!
I first came across this cake during a family gathering at my husband’s relatives’ house in London. My brother-in-law made it using a recipe published in The Guardian, written by Claudia Roden. The cake was served warm, straight from the oven – with fresh blueberries and raspberries. It was truly heavenly! I remember eating three slices and would have gladly gone for more, if I hadn’t started to feel a bit embarrassed. The cake was slightly moist, incredibly fragrant, and very filling. When we got back home, my brother-in-law sent me the recipe. Imagine my surprise when I discovered that the exact same recipe was printed… on the back of…
