Soups

I’ve been having this one on my desk for a while now. I know Donna Hay is known for her light and airy photographs, but really, if you go through the magazines, you will notice that there are quite a few with beautiful dark and moody images. Maybe because it is winter, but I’m quite [...]

Am I seeing two little feet popping in the frame??

Where to start… You are now probably wondering what on earth is antipakjes avond and I am thinking how on earth do I explain this.. Karin Luiten, author of the cookbook on how to cook without mixes and packages (Koken zonder pakjes en zakjes) send a group of us a mail asking to participate this [...]

I waste… We waste. We waste far too much food and quite frankly that doesn’t feel good. We also spend. We spend a huge amount of money every week or month on food and if I then have a look at what goes in the bin afterwards it’s fairly shocking. It seems more and more [...]

Delicious gazpacho

It’s not exactly gazpacho weather at the moment but well we can always dream now can’t we? I love a good gazpacho but had actually never made one myself. It’s one of those things that you keep on wanting to do but never get around to actually doing. But last week I was meeting up [...]

Pumpkin-celeriac soup

One of the things I really like when cooking is to check my fridge and work with any leftover ingredients. It’s almost like the black box where you have to work with what you get.. But then a little less difficult! The other day we had a meal with entrecote and a sidedish of green [...]

Parsnip soup with parsley cream and croutons

Remember when we went to the Lindenhoff last week? Besides the beautiful beef we also brought back parsnips and chestnuts. I am still undecided on the chestnuts although I might be making something with those tomorrow. The parsnips however seemed to be perfect for a warming soup. The weather here has really been terrible the [...]

I can almost hear you thinking; what has gotten into this girl lately?? First strawberry and tomato salad and now soup made from apples?? Well, ok… I admit I sometimes have a thing for the unknown, the weird and the unconventional… Or maybe it is just really not that weird when you think about it. [...]

Pea soup

I have been posting a lot of soup recipes lately now haven’t I? Probably because a good soup is comforting, warming and – not unimportantly – it is also very quick to make. So I love trying out new soup recipes for lunch. Especially now that the weather seems to go back into full wintermode [...]

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 [...]

Indian cucumbersoup with mint

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 [...]
