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.
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?
Happiness at the Chinese supermarket
Where I lived before I moved to California, I was devoid from exciting new vegetables. In the big Chinese supermarket on my block I found two and made this Lemongrass flavored rice with edamame and pea shoots & grilled king oyster mushrooms.
Screwing up your juice
About how I ended up my Sunday morning holding a screwgun in a dirty kitchen. A long story, but short recipe for home made Apple Juice with rhubarb.

Starring at the Farmers Market
At the Farmers Market I got seduced! By bright yellow beans. I gave them the starring role in a refreshing Yellow bean salad with feta.
