This has by far been my favorite go-to stewContinue reading “Moroccan Lentil Stew”

Shakshuka

Everyone knows that I love living in Tallinn. It’s a beautiful, bustling city, full of life and culture as well. It is also home to a vibrant and ever-developing culinary and coffee scene. One thing it lacks, however, is good Mediterranean and Middle Eastern food. To some degree, I have given up all expectations ofContinue reading “Shakshuka”
