I think one the best thing about being part of the Daring Bakers is that you are “forced” to make things, you wouldn’t otherwise attempt. My first challenge last month was the cheesecake, which I had never done before and the second challenge for me was Apple strudel. Ofcourse I had tasted Applestrudel many many [...]

Don’t say I didn’t warn you… this post has nothing to do with food whatsoever, but in case you were wondering what it is that I do onĀ a regular basis – other then eat – you can read on… I just wanted to vent some of my frustrations at certain lighting conditions. I had [...]

See the lovely green color of those peas?? I used frozen ones this time! Will not make the mistake of using canned peas (as here) again! Today was a national holiday so we kind of spend the day cooking. Let me be more specific; I have been cooking (and baking) and Tom was busy (spring)cleaning [...]

I really felt like eating something healthy today. After a weekend full of unhealthy stuff… it was about time! I had spend the weekend going through my (enormous) pile of cooking magazines and re-organized everything by title. You see; I have this magazine addiction which can take on very large proportions. I have to clean [...]

I’m sure I am not the only one who judges every single dish we get before our eyes while eating out, right? Ever since I’ve become more and more involved in foodphotograph and food in general I tend to study the food that comes before me. It’s a good thing I am not a restaurant [...]

Ok, this – ofcourse – should have been home made icecream but, I have to disappoint you, it is not. I don’t have an icemachine (yet) and the purpose of this exercise was really to take a photo of icecream… It was one of those things that I had on my to do list and [...]

Today I decided it was finally time to do the second remake of the SLW: photo remakes Flickr group. The first one was a remake of Lara’s own photos and was not so complicated as this particular one. I love doing these things as it gives me the chance to really think about how a [...]

When reading about this challenge – the very first one for the daring cooks – I was a little anxious. The recipe seemed quite complicated plus I already know that my man would really not like this. He isn’t into anything that is cheesy and ricotta with parmezan…. well, that is just asking for trouble. [...]

There is something very satisfying about seeing a magazine come of the press and it has your own photos all over it! Today I went with the people from Mjam Taart to the first official print of the new magazine which is about to be released on June 1st. The coverphoto is mine as well [...]

This is maybe a weird review as I have not actually eaten anything in the Sasa lounge (yet) but I wanted to share this great restaurant with you anyway. I had the opportunity to take photos here for an assignment for the city council as part of a project where they want to increase the [...]

I’ve been wanting to make a pavlova for quite a long time now, but similar to macarons; it’s one of those things that are so daunting that I don’t start for fear of not being able to complete it in a proper way. But after having seen a recipe for a strawberry pavlova in the [...]
