Oven-roasted Veggie Salad with Tuna

Last year we were lucky to have some vacation in October. It was really wonderful to prolong the summer days and the weather in southern Italy was just beautiful! The Italian food is always so delicious and the sun-kissed veggies are a blessing. I was inspired by a simple yet delicious new combination of eggplants with Tuna. For it was just delicious!

Artichokes with Burrata

The sun is making its way out more and more, making at least me wanting to eat nice and light things, leaving the heavier winter dishes behind. I really like this new find and wanted to share with you!

Onion Upside Down Puff Pastry Appetizer Tarts

Friends (and myself) love onions and what better can you bring along to a BBQ than an appetizer that’s right down their alley? So that is exactly what I did and it was great. Again quite simple to prepare, so a winner!

Grilled Pineapple with Burrata

This salad / starter / BBQ side is a taste explosion. With the slightly caramelized sweetness of the e pineapple which increases whilst on the BBQ and the Burrata – just perfect.

Burrata with White Peaches, Avocado & Blackberry Coulis

Remember not too long ago I posted a similar dish? Well I pimped it a bit, well actually a bit more than a bit. Some additional different ingredients combine this to a taste explosion in your mouth. Oh yes, you definitely want to try this out!!

Tomato & Feta Salad with Pine Nuts

Simple salad, looks beautiful and tastes deliciously summery! To be honest, I more or less scattered together what I still had in the house, having been too lazy to go grocery shopping and the result was great. Plus the Swiss national colors for the 1st of August national day!! Happy birthday Switzerland!

Caprese Salad with Artichoke Hearts

Loving this typical Italian caprese salad, this time I prepared it with a little twist: With artichoke hearts for the “green” instead of the typical basil leaves. Once again super simple, easy and fast to prepare and just delicious. Definitely worth a try, especially if you like archtichoke hearts as much as I do!!

Burrata with Fresh Peaches & Pine Nuts

With the warm temperatures I always enjoy eating a cool and light dinner (or starter). I had a similar dish at an invitation of friends and recreated it with a little twist! This fruity, nutty mixture with the creaminess of the Burrata is a delight for your taste buds. Hope you like it as much as I did! Hmmmm….

Asparagus Tonnato

Not sure about you, but I for myself love Vitello Tonnato. And this adapted version is delightful. Fairly light (mixing cream cheese with mayonnaise) and perfect to have as variation for the asparagus season. Did you know that white and green asparagus have the same origin, just one sees the sunlight and the other doesn’t? Crazy nature. But delicious in any case!
