“It will make you feel as if you had not eaten and you can drink as much as you like” – simply said by Cato the Elder, a Roman statesman who lived till he was 85 according to some sources (his age being considered however a record at the time) and ate it before and after meal.

That’s right, you figured it out, I am still talking about cabbage 🙂 Moreover, if you want a beautiful glowing skin and a strong immune system, red cabbage in particular is a superfood, so keep on reading because there’s much more to it other than its beautiful red-purple-ish color.

A Mini Snack with Aubergines and Goat Cheese

A mini snack with baked aubergines, zucchini, mushrooms and spinach – delicious, simple and quick. Start munching on them right away!

Even though I basically grew up with aubergines/eggplants cooked in various ways, I fell in love with them a few years ago. I might sound snobbish, but I honestly think that I had to move somewhere else to discover and appreciate all the organic goodies.

Aubergines may not be the top veggies when it comes to flavor (l admit that I first found them both bitter and bland), but are an excellent source of dietary fiber, which can help protect against type 2 diabetes and keeps the digestive system regular. Apart from the fact that they are a good source of vitamins A , B1, B6, C and potassium, this vegetable will fill you up with only a few calories per cup (20 calories to be more precise)….

Spicy Prawns with Noodles

I don’t know about you, but I just crave for prawns. I love combining them in almost any kind of dish. I know I may sound a little bit odd, especially if seafood means almost nothing to you, but if you are more of a chocolate/sweet dessert type of person, I should be able to pass the “passion” test, don’t you think?

When I first became aware of my passion for prawns, I used to live in Greece, on a beautiful small island, called Kos. It’s almost impossible to not get passionate about food in general once you have been living there for some time. I think one of the reasons people tend to love Greek food is the simplicity of the meals….
