Leek quiche

January 18, 2018 By Mandarina Leave a Comment

It’s quiche time 🙂 this time with leeks, since we’re in winter, and leeks are one of my favorite winter vegetables. Leek quiche is delicious on its own, but also pairs perfectly with a nice salad, or a warm and wholesome bowl of soup. I sometimes skip the crust and end up with a “crustless…

Welcome to Mandarina Yum!

mmMy name is Ejona Varangu and I am a full time researcher in the telecommunication industry, and part time food blogger. I blog from a small apartment in Tirana, Albania, where I live with my better half and our two cats Weirdo and Pixel.

I started cooking in late 2013, when I decided to live alone, and I missed the great homemade dishes that my mum prepared, before that, I couldn’t even boil an egg by myself. Little by little I started experimenting with new ingredients and techniques and I loved every single minute of it. Find out more…
