10 Heatwave-Proof Recipes That Don't Require a Stove or Oven
In this blog, you'll find a list of quick and light dishes that are perfect for making when it's extremely hot. These recipes don't require a stove, so you can keep your home nice and cool.
By the way, I don’t mind the warm temperatures at all. I’ve been back from Portugal for just under two weeks now, and I was already missing the fantastic weather and the lovely people I’d met so much. The fact that the sun is shining in Belgium now, too, makes the harsh reality just a little bit easier to bear for me. By the way, I haven’t really been sitting still since I got back. Last week I went to Bruges to defend my thesis. I was really nervous because I’d worked so hard on this project and put my whole heart and soul into it. And the perfectionist in me wanted this presentation to be the best it possibly could be. 😉 I succeeded very well in that. I received the highest distinction for my work. A week later, I also got my grades for my other courses. I’m proud to tell you that my diploma will include a distinction.🤩 Meanwhile, I’m busy preparing for a wedding catering job, for which I’m personalizing a cake for the bride and groom. And I’m also making a few improvements to the website so that in the future we can reach even more people with my mission to make cooking with vegetables fun. For example, have you noticed that the site is now available in English as well? You can change the language using the button at the top.
Alright, these are the dishes I've already planned to make myself this week. Enjoy!

A surprising combination, but absolutely delicious.
