Our recipes are:

• Home-cooked: We cook our recipes with wholesome, fresh, and seasonal ingredients.
  
  This includes vegetables, nuts, seeds, healthy oils, whole grains, legumes, beans, fruits, eggs, meats, and dairy. We will always offer alternatives to animal products so that everyone can join in.
  
• Easy to make at home: We use simple, affordable everyday ingredients and provide step-by-step pictures and videos. We always mention substitutions for the less common ingredients.
  
• Cooked by us: We genuinely love cooking, eating, and creating content for you. We will never use AI and Chat GPT to generate content, and we will always personally cook, test, taste, write, photograph, and film all the content you see on this blog and our socials.

We are thrilled to have you here and hope you’ll join us in our journey towards a more home-cooked way of eating.

Thank you for supporting our work 🙏

❤️ Louise & Nico
