Let's be honest: Getting through lockdown was quite challenging - especially taking into consideration everything we all planned for this year. Trips, concerts, visits to beautiful destinations and just dining out at our favourite restaurants all went down the drain.

Luckily, there was something that always kept us busy: The kitchen.

Whether you baked and cooked from scratch for the first time, or just perfecting old favourites, we were all busy in the kitchen the past few months.

So to end a challenging year, take a trip down memory lane with us and try out all of our cover recipes again.
