On a rainy day in Madrid, the atmosphere perfectly sets the stage for cozy cravings—especially for hearty stews and soups. With autumn in full swing, it’s also the prime time for mushrooms. Feel free to swap out Shiitake mushrooms for other varieties; Porcini or Chanterelle would elevate this dish even more.

Asparagus Soup with Mushrooms

This hearty and easy-to-make asparagus soup has two surprises - it appears to be a blended soup, but you'll bite into delicious mushrooms, and the chili peppers add a heat that works very well with the velvety taste of asparagus.

When it starts to get chillier, I like to take a break from raw salads and warm my body with cozy bowls of roasted veggies. This salad really brings in the beautiful fall colors, is very tasty, and the green garlicky sauce drizzled on top gives it a nice character.

I love this easy, crunchy, and vibrant salad. The best part is that it's so simple to make! Chopping everything is the hardest part, while the real star of the dish is the lemony onions. Read below to learn how to make it. I enjoy it by itself as a starter before the main course, or it goes very well with lamb or any other meats.

I have a special association with chicken broth soup; it’s my go-to remedy whenever I’m feeling under the weather. Growing up, my dad would make it for my brother, my mom, or me whenever one of us was sick. Now, it’s the first thing I prepare for my husband or myself when we start to feel unwell.

This soothing, warming, and healthy dish wraps around you like a cozy blanket. In addition to the vegetables, I always add plenty of ginger and garlic to help kick out whatever is making my loved ones feel less than 100%.

This is a bold and flavor bomb type of recipe! I developed it in my small New York kitchen and made it so many times after when I am feeling like I want something with stronger flavors in my life!

I like it for saltiness of both - olives and goat cheese (and smokiness it has), spiciness of Gochujang, warm bed of black beans and of course the butteriness of Cod!

I keep on coming back to beans recipes and keep on developing different variations of it with it because I think you can be so creative...Beans are really like a white canvas that you can dress up however you want to. They are also a great resource of protein, folate, antioxidants and many other health benefits. In this recipe the beans are dressed (cooked) with Miso paste which is wonderful for your gut health and I added some chili peppers for some heat and the surprise (maybe not much of a surprise given it sit’s right at the top..) is the pickled purple cabbage which gives nice crunchy tanginess.

This is a very warming soup with a little kick. Kimchi has a good amount of spice and adding gochujang gives a little additional kick. I love the addition of ribs, I think the fattness of it and the freshness of Kimchi works really well. If you can find, you can add some Enoki mushrooms, add it 10 minutes before you finish cooking. If your kimchi pieces are big, you can chop them into smaller, but I like bigger pieces in this soup and don’t forget to pour the juice from the kimchi jar as well!

Beets are really a veggie that divides people to Love or Hate camps. Most Lithuanians tend to fall under Love as we have quite a few dishes with them. This easy, refreshing and easy to make salad is perfect with any meat on a side. Especially with duck!
I think the secret gun here are chopped marinated hot peppers.

This is a very light and perfect for the summer salad. The key is lemon! In this recipe the tanginess of lemon gives a really nice final note to this salad. I also love the crunchiness of both cucumber and radish that pairs well with smoothness of avocado.
