I like basics. Or better to say, I like going back to basics. It is like going back home, very grounding. For me, one of the most inspiring ‘going back to basics’ rituals is making basic , simple and nutritious foods, like sourdough bread and other fermented foods – especially vegetables and yogurt.

The snow on the roof window has finally melted and it was time to dip my hands into the dough again. I didn’t have to think for too long what my next challenge would be – sourdough doughnuts.

There is something special about the whole grain flour. About the bran in it. It seems the entire grain’s story sneaks to the light, if there is just a pair of ears to hear it.

Throughout time, it has been said dogs and cats are natural enemies. However, that’s not always true. In fact, you can see situations every day where dogs and cats get along with each other just fine. Unfortunately, incidents can happen where a dog attacked cat and the result was the cat meeting its demise. When this occurs, you may be wondering why do dogs kill cats and what can be done to prevent this from happening again. Rather than look at your dog as a monster that is looking to kill again, it’s best to perhaps see your vet for a professional opinion regarding why do dogs attack cats and how to stop such behavior.

Olives are a famously controversial food- some people love them, whilst others despise them. But is the same true for dogs? Should dogs be eating olives at all?
