Last friday was the second time we were coming together with the cooking club Kort Lontje. Again the location was in Kookstudio K-O-K-S in Amsterdam and Mia was this time in charge of coming up with a menu and working that out together with Albert en Pieter. After the ‘heavy’ holidays the theme was ‘light’…. [...]

Ok, don’t you all dare to laugh at me… Yes I forgot to make the challenge but I think I came back pretty quickly didn’t I? I was lucky that an appointment for today was cancelled so I all of a sudden had time to make these lovely bars. I first started with making the [...]

If you came here thinking to look at beautiful Nanaimo bars you’re in for a disappointment. I all of a sudden realized TODAY that I should be posting these lovely bars TODAY… And I forgot; completely and utterly forgot to make them! How incredibly stupid… I had so looked forward to making the bars that [...]

I first read about the Ten Weeks to Healthy bloggroup through someone else’s blog (I’m terrible in remembering where I read what!!) and I was quickly pointed to Lori from Recipegirl to read all about this challenge to get healthy in the first ten weeks of the year. Not sure if I will be able [...]

We must all have them; recipes that you have know so long or have taken completely for granted but when asked about them you go “Uuuhhhh… I actually never made that!!” I had that realization when Nurit of FamilyFriendlyFood asked me if I had a recipe for poffertjes… Eh… well no, and now that I [...]

For today’s post I am gonna try and explain how you can solve some of the problems that occur when shooting in low light or at night. Especially at this time of year it seems to be impossible to shoot your dinner in daylight since, well, most people don’t eat their main meal during lunchtime [...]

How’s the weather over at your end? Here it is cold and miserable at the moment. There is still snow but it is melting and instead we get rain. I think I prefer the snow to be honest.. (did I tell you already that the Dutch are notorious for their complaining about the weather?? It’s [...]

Let me just start by saying that this is maybe not the most logical dish while in winter. It’s lovely and refreshing, but also… it is supposed to be eaten cold, so if you’re in a summery country right now, this might just be the soup for you. Or if you’re like me – trying [...]

I love satay, always have…. there is just something utterly satisfying about that lovely rich sauce and the marinated meat. I like all kinds of satay really, pork, beef, chicken and I would probably like it in a tofu version as well. So imagine my delight when I found out that the challenge for the [...]

I haven’t had a lot of time to shoot our dinner this week, so instead I thought I share a fun photoshoot with you that is – sort of – food related. I do a lot of stockphotography so I had this idea in my head to shoot in a nice kitchen with a lovely [...]

I get questions on a regular basis on the specifics of how I take my photos and how I light the scene.. Today is a very cold day and not really suitable to go outdoors, so I figured I entertain myself (and hopefully you) by taking a couple of photos and showing you the difference [...]
