creative cook
One of my favorite words to use in the kitchen is eyeballing. It’s not a word I learned at school, but I immediately knew what it meant when my colleague used it in the kitchen. Now I use the word in every cooking class that I teach and tell people that eyeballing is great technique to have mastered. I used it when I made a new batch of Preserved Lemons.

The more I cook and blog about it, the more I want my recipes to stand out. This Lemon risotto with arugula and salmon, for instance, really does. The bright lemon and spicy arugula balance really well with the smooth risotto and sweet salmon.
Living in a new country is all about adapting. To a new language, a new culture, new dining out habits … well a new way of live. New food as well, as we didn’t have Meyer lemons in the Netherlands although there is something Dutch about them!
I used them in this Roasted beets with Meyer lemon honey glaze and I would love to eat it again tonight! Really.
