When you’re craving Sardine Skewers (Espetos de Sardinas) but you’re not in Spain to enjoy them cooked over an open fire, you grill them! Espetos de Sardinas (sardine skewers) are originally from the region of Andalusia in southern Spain. This traditional dish is closely associated with the coastal areas of Malaga, particularly the city of […]
Savory Cake
This is the first Savory Cake I made and I had so much fun assembling and decorating it! We love smoked salmon and cream cheese so I decided to use these as the main ingredients for this savory cake. If you’re not into cakes, you can find some other delicious appetizer recipes on my website […]
Smoked Salmon Cream Cheese Roll-Ups
We love any appetizer with smoked salmon! My mother in law makes some delicious ones with slices of bread, cream cheese and smoked salmon. She cuts the crust from each slice of bread, spreads some cream cheese on, adds slices of smoked salmon and then rolls them up tightly. I love them but I find […]
Cedar Plank-Grilled Salmon
I’ve had some cedar planks around since we bought our grill this summer and never used them. Today was nice and sunny so I thought this would be the perfect day for grilling and a good occasion to use those cedar planks to make grilled salmon (my husband’s favourite fish). These cedar plank-grilled salmon fillets […]
Fried Trout with Tomato & Garlic Sauce
This is my dad’s favourite dish and one of the very few recipes he prepares at home :). It’s easy to make, delicious and needs to be served on weekends (you don’t want the garlicky smell to flood your office, right?!). We served it with a roasted tomato & garlic sauce and our traditional Romanian […]
Smoked Salmon & Cucumber Appetizer

What can be better than a light appetizer with smoked salmon and cucumber with a touch of cream cheese when everywhere you go during this time of the year you find the traditional cabbage rolls (sarmale), […]

It’s filled with tuna, onions, peppers and tomatoes. You can also replace the tuna with sardines, cod fish or chorizo. It’s a […]
Sweet and Sour Fish Kebabs
This is a great way to prepare flavourful fish kebabs. Adding pineapple is a twist to the traditional way of making kebabs that I’m used to from back home. I bet my parents won’t like this recipe but I shall try making this next time they visit us from Romania. Back home most people don’t […]
Cheesy Fish Fillet Casserole
We eat fish quite often for two main reasons – firstly, we love it because it’s healthy and low in fat. Researchers have proved that the omega-3 fatty acids from fish can help us turn back the biological clock and live longer. Secondly, fish is great because you can make tons of quick and easy […]
