I am Elfie and I started ‘Feed the grumpy’ with my partner Thomas. As both organic chemists, it is in our nature to experiment and get creative. When we are not in labs doing so, we like to get creative and explore new tastes in the kitchen with food!

I am myself vegetarian and all the recipes you will find on this website fit that diet. Although, I often suggest matching combination that would also satisfy meat-eaters. Thomas is also mainly vegetarian with an allergy to cow milk. This is the main reason, why we started developing alternative recipes. For us, it is fun to experiment with different products to replace what we can’t have. You will find that our recipes always offer alternatives to fit different diets.  You will also find here a lot of recipes with goat milk, buffalo milk or sheep milk products.



I have always been a foodie. However, it is well known amongst my family and relatives that if I don’t get fed, I turn grumpy very quickly and only food can change my mood. The name of this website reflects this very specific characteristic, which many people can probably relate to.
