If I don’t know what to cook, I usually end up stirring some risotto. This recipe risotto with fennel and roasted tomatoes is one of my favorites.
Spicing with the Wonder Jar
Eating yourself into another season
Isn’t it funny how eating a dish can make you long to be in another place? Or another season even? Id you have a sunny desire – try this recipe: Pasta salad with tomatoes, watercress and burrata.
Kale = kool
Did you know that one of the most popular Dutch dishes since ages is made with kale? But now I prepare kale Californian style, like in this Raw kale salad with glazed parsnips and a quick shallot confit.
What are we eating tonight?
This illustration of carrots was the first I made, and finally have a recipe to use it with. It’s a lovely Summer-ly Buckwheat salad with peach and roasted carrots.
Yup, another recipe for banana cake!
3 Bananas getting brownish + 2 eggs that needed to be eaten = 1 banana cake!
Well, actually I baked 2 halves, and was wondering if that would change my way of baking banana cakes for ever.
Raisin grapes
At the Farmers Market I learned about grapes that are specifically grown to become raisins. And that are lovely to eat when still a grape as well! Meet the raisin grapes.
How to recognize the Dutch!
When you’re reading this, I am back to my home country for a week. So I’d like to take some time to introduce the tallest people on earth to you. And serve a cold brewed ice tea along with that.
Glowing with culinary inspiration
The French dish Tian is a kind of a gratin but then upright. And without the potatoes. Oh, and I don’t do eggs in my gratin. Well, thankfully it is as great! Maybe because I put some lavender in it for a real Provençal feel?
My absolutely favorite summer pasta
As much as I love to tweak recipes to make them my own, there are a few that I simply cannot. This recipe Pasta Caprese is a classic and doesn’t need any changes.
A dinner party in the woods
Getting inspired by the recipes of Erin Gleeson from her Forest Feast Cookbook isn’t difficult. She presents her dishes in such a colorful way that you immediately want to run into your kitchen.
These zucchini cups are inspired on her way of cooking.
