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 [...]

As I have told you before I have a hard time resisting ingredients which I have not seen before and when they have an imaginative name like ‘Bull’s Blood’… well, there is only one course of action possible as far as I’m concerned and that is to put it in my basket! I was really [...]

Have you ever tasted a really bad risotto? One that is mushy, overcooked and just terrible? Well, I have to confess that we managed to make such a risotto in our cooking club last friday.. Ofcourse I can also tell you that I did not personally cook this risotto and in fact a couple of [...]

We get out of the boat and walk onto a barren piece of land, slightly confused as to what we are doing here. Across the barren patch of land awaits a tiny village. Our guide, a tiny Vietnamese woman, leads us through small alleyways where little kids peer curiously from around corners and start to [...]

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 [...]

I mean; everyone knows the combination of mozarella, tomatoes and prosciutto is a classic one, so I was really merely providing something to put on the plate. I wanted to practice with a christmas atmosphere while using my studiolights. And that is really [...]

We have an addiction… Well, we have more then one but for the sake of argument let’s focus on this one – fairly harmless one. The addiction is that we love to watch cooking shows. It’s probably a good thing that we do not have something like the food network or the BBC food channel [...]

I woke up this morning to a very grey day where all the snow that fell yesterday was very quickly melting away… Is it weird if I say that I love snow? I know that it is not desirable if you have to drive anywhere (especially when you live in Holland where traffic jams are [...]

A slight panick broke out when I saw the challenge of this month for the Daring Cooks. We had to make souffles…. Now the souffle itself was not the reason for my panick attack; I mean I have made souffle before, but only in a dessert version. But the first thing that sprang to mind [...]

I am not sure how it is in your part of the world but at the moment here it is terrible weather. It seems that the short burst of spring kind of disappeared for a while. Too bad as I was so looking forward to have a long weekend during Easter with lots of sunshine [...]
