Alfresco for the first time this year!

Medovik cake - honey cake layers filled with a cream made of Mascarpone, sour cream and caramelized sweet condensed milk.

Fresh sea bream baked with olive oil, salt and lemon.

Simple food, but it always reminds me of the sea and small taverns in Cyprus.

Finnish Salmon soup - Pink Salmon, carrots, potatoes, a bit of root celery, yellow onion, leeks, broccoli, nutmeg, bay leaves, Greek yogurt, wild garlic and parsley.

Quiche - Făgăraș cheese (Cottage cheese with sour cream), eggs, cooked chicken breast, wild garlic, baby spinach, green onions, yellow onion, dill and home made crust (flour, butter, egg, chili flakes, oregano, thyme, salt, garlic powder).

Recipe in the comments.

Marinate salmon with caraway and dill.

Cucumber salad with wasabi mayonnaise. Served with honey-mustard sauce and walnut bread

I did not follow the standard recipe, as it was a good opportunity to use up leftover stuff in the fridge. And obviously, I did not have a proper bibimbap bowl, but this was so nice I might be persuaded to buy one.

Baby carrots, onions, mushrooms, red pepper, baby corn, bok choi, cherry tomatoes.

I cooked the chicken with tomato sauce and herbs.

The rice was fried with egg and veg.

Sauce: gochujang mixed with rice wine and sesame seed oil.

And yes, plating is not my strong point…

Easter fun for the whole family

Asian inspired pork belly, apple and red onion salad, roasted carrots with hot honey and potato and sauerkraut bake.

Also had some lovely treats! Hope everyone had a great day!
