Don’t you just sometimes feel you’re at the mercy of some stranger when it comes to hosting of your blog? Not too long ago I moved from my Dutch hosting guys to Hostgator and while I have to say everything went smoothly up until this morning, I now felt why it makes sense to have [...]

We have funny friends, did you know that? Friends who come up with these crazy ideas…. And it seems that our new kitchen is sort of bringing it out in all of them. It could have something to do with the fact that everyone all of a sudden wants us to cook dinner, and hey, [...]

Even though the weather is certainly not salad-weather at the moment, I figured that maybe, if I eat enough salads, the sun will magically appear? Will that work you think? Sort of reversed psychology for the weather.. As I am typing this it is actually pouring down with rain again so sofar it hasn’t helped, [...]

I drive a lot. Part of my job is going from one location to the next either in Europe or in Holland. Well mostly in Holland really, but once or twice every so many years I also have to drive to Germany, France or similar places. I love driving, I’m comfortable on the road and [...]

The book I have been reading for the past couple of weeks is all about Vietnamese Street Food. What I love about the book is the fact that it has all those wonderful stories of streetvendors who build a name for themselves in this rather competitive ‘street food’ business. If you’ve never been to Vietnam [...]

Alors, j’taime Paris… My love affair with France dates back from when I was a little kid. My parents always went to France on holidays. When we were big enough to ‘survive’ the long trip from our home to Bretagne, we went there every year. I must have been 13 or 14 when I entered [...]

I’ve been nosedeep into (a photoshoot for) cocktails all week long so far, so I figured it was time for something savory here. Just to balance things out a bit, hence (is that even a word people use anymore??) you find here these pretty muffins. I have made some sweet muffins before, although not that [...]

I suspect with a title like this one there might be a bit more spam then the usual amount..lol.. But I couldn’t resist the literal translation for this typical Dutch dish. When I was asked by Ben from What’s Cooking if I wanted to do a guestpost in his worldseries I was flattered. I love [...]
