We're Sandra & Jan
Two food lovers who met in Berlin, fell for each other, and now explore the world together—one recipe at a time.
Our Story
We met in Berlin—a city that taught us how diverse and exciting food can be. From currywurst stands to Vietnamese pho joints, from Turkish bakeries to modern vegan restaurants, Berlin showed us that great food connects people across cultures and backgrounds.
We fell in love over shared meals and kitchen experiments. Eventually, we decided to trade the gray Berlin winters for something sunnier. We moved to Cyprus—our home base, where the Mediterranean sun warms our days and local markets overflow with fresh produce, olives, and herbs.
But we didn't stop exploring. From Cyprus, we travel the world together. We've wandered through the markets of Tel Aviv, savored tapas in Barcelona, discovered hidden gems in New York, and collected recipes everywhere we go.
Recipes From Our Travels
This blog is our kitchen journal. We share recipes we've discovered on our travels, dishes we've tried and loved, meals we want to recreate, and our own creations inspired by the flavors we've encountered around the world.
Some recipes are authentic treasures—learned from locals who welcomed us into their kitchens. Others are our own twists on classics we've tasted. All of them are easy to make, because we believe great food shouldn't be complicated.
Whether it's a quick weeknight dinner, a special occasion feast, or something sweet to share with friends—we hope these recipes bring as much joy to your kitchen as they bring to ours.
Places That Inspire Us
"The best recipes are the ones that tell a story—and we have plenty to share."
