Lifestyle – Cooking tips – Travelling in Europe- Emotional support – Integrating with locals -Easy Recipes-Gardening
Author: livinginleuvenbelgiumeurope
I am originally from India living in Belgium for the last 20 years.
Over the years my family and friends have requested me to share my recipes many times.
Most of my foods are cooked from a memory of an event or a taste remembered or a food appreciated and measurements are approximate (or from internet search)
In this Blog I would like to share my experience of living in Europe and Foods from around the world. There are many versions of the same recipe with a different name in different cultures.
I try to keep most of the recipes simple and healthy so that Working Women, Young Mothers with small children, Single people and Students living away from home can eat balanced meal in their busy week without much effort.
Some of the recipes are Sugar free or gluten free or Eggless keeping in mind friends and relatives with different habits and needs.
I also share some positive thought on my blog so that we can bridge the gap between traditional and modern thinking.
Thank you, my whole family, cousins, friends and followers and readers of my blog, for your support.
Peace and Happiness is my Motto. NJ

Going for an evening walk in Abdij van Park for a breath of fresh air. A park with stunning views, a monastery and 3 beautiful lakes.
Grazing cows such Beauty!!
We came across a beautiful lady by the New Milk vending maching. She was refilling the Vending Maching with Fresh Warm Milk from the cows grazing in the pasture. There’s nothing quite like Fresh Milk straight from the farm Tasty and Organic.
Here a few words from beautiful Ine about the fresh milk from the Farm. Oops !! my Video taking skills are not perfect. No worries only start is upside down!!
Dont forget to take your own bottles if you want to buy it.

Dear Friends if you live in Leuven or nearby hope you check out this milk, share info with friends and enjoy!!
In India we boil the milk before drinking. For a lighter texture add some water when boiling. Cooling the milk after boiling gives a thick layer of cream on top which can be used to make Butter. Homemade Cheese and Yogurt with Fresh Milk is so delicious.
I will be posting recipes with homemade paneer cheese and yogurt in my blog soon.
Hope you enjoy some beautiful walk in Abdij van Park too.
