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 [...]

When you talk to people about fennel, they are either in the pro or con camp. There doesn’t seem to be some sort of middle way when it comes to fennel. Granted the flavor of fennel is quite distinct. I love it in all it’s forms; seeds, fresh or dried (come to think of it, [...]

While I think some of the last couple of challenges where… well quite challenging… I think I may have picked a very easy one this time..:) So I would almost say that there is no reason not to participate this month! For the new Donna Hay styling and photography challenge, number 7 already, I picked [...]

Healthy quinoa salad with feta

It’s no big secret that I love quinoa as it has been featured here a couple of times, as you can see with this delicious quinoa salad with courgette, the quinoa salad with pomegranate and most recently the pumpkin stew. I was reading a couple of blogs on my Iphone this morning (don’t you just [...]

It’s been said before and I will say it again but sometimes the simplest things in life are also the best… Last night was our 6th session of our cooking club, with the fancy name of Kookclubbie (maybe we should come up with another name??) and it was great fun again, good cooking, lots of [...]

It can be extremely trying in this december month to try and still eat within the budget of 10 euro. I can assure that we will be going over budget on many days this month, but in the meantime we still try and do our best to eat below the limit for most ‘regular’ days. [...]

Wow… if you are reading this, that actually means that it worked! You might have wondered where I went to the last couple of days but I have been very busy behind the scenes with changing over all my websites (and there are six in total) from one host to the next. My friend and  [...]

I walk through the isles of the supermarket and for the first time I really see how ridiculously expensive everything is. Not that I shopped blindfolded before, but we’ve always been in the somewhat luxurious position of not having to count every penny we spend. And especially when it comes to food we don’t really [...]

spicy beansoup

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 [...]

Griddled courgette with chickpea salso

If ever there is a season which lends itself particularly well to Indian flavors then to me that would be autumn. I love the spices used in the Indian kitchen, I love the hot curries (well, not too hot!), the garam masala mixes and I don’t think I’ve ever tasted an Indian dish that I [...]

Fresh and healthy salad

I sit behind the computer and every once in a while (like every two seconds) I glance to my left where my trusted Iphone is hooked to the Mac… I’m installing the new software update version 5.0 on my Iphone 4 (no no not the Iphone 4s!) and it is taking a loooong time. Ok, [...]
