I was a littttllle bit anxious about this lesson as, let’s face it, shells, shellfish and the like are not really (really not) my favorite kind of food. Maybe it stems from the time that I still didn’t like fish, having not grown up with the stuff and while I love fish now, that took [...]

I think she was 6 weeks old when I first ‘got’ her and we actually assumed that she was a little boy. It’s notoriously hard to see with little kittens if they are male or female, so we mistakenly named her Joepie, thinking she was a boy. But the first visit at the vet it [...]

When I first read that we had white clam sauce on the menu for this week’s Cooking Italy, I was seriously doubting that I would be making this. You have to know that I am really not a fan of shelled seafood… I just think they look scary.. But then again; I do love a [...]

Remember when we started our cooking course in the Kookstudio in Amsterdam, back in March? After waiting for what feels like forever, yesterday we finally started on the follow up course! Whoohoo!! It’s going to be 5 lessons of which the first one was making your own pate and sausages. Something I had never before [...]
