Now that the new year has started the term Living Leaner that Mona started on her blog Wisewords, takes on a bit of a double meaning for me. In fact, it takes on a triple meaning… I’m no different then anyone else around the world who wants to get fit and healthy in the new [...]

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 [...]

Indian spicy salad with chickpeas

Ten years ago on this very date, the world was a different place. In a way I guess we were all ignorant of the evil that is hidding beneath the surface of certain individuals. It’s becoming a cliche but a lot of people know exactly what they were doing the moment they found out that [...]

Spicy beef dish at Thai restaurant

When I met Ishay for the very first time during our Plate to Page adventure in Germany it became immediately apparent that she is a very socially engaged person. She is originally from South Africa where she lives with her Dutch husband (who came with her to Germany since they were on a vacation too [...]

We all know those moments…. those moments when you realize those lovehandles can no longer be called ‘love’ handles, but are more going towards “terrible-fat” handles. That moment when your favorite pair of jeans all of a sudden feels like it has shrunk dramatically in the wash, or that moment when you look in the [...]

Last saturday I was all wrapped up in baking the entire day… Yes, the entire day.. I started early in the morning with grocery shopping as I needed some ingredients for this lunch. Then I think I began with making the Daring Bakers challenge for this month (more on that on the 27th!), I made [...]

While the rain keeps pouring down outside I was very much in the mood for something that would give me a bit of a spring feeling. I mean; I don’t mind winter but the current weather is too miserable! Ofcourse I am officially not allowed to complain as we are leaving on our trip to [...]

O, haha… in case you think I have lost my mind… it’s not so bad really. I just couldn’t resist to name this post after the official Thai title. Probably not so weird sounding if your Thai (I hope not at least) but if you’re anything like me you have no clue what this recipe [...]

Did I tell you that I love Jamie? I did, didn’t I? O no… I can almost hear you thinking; not another rant about Jamie Oliver and how wonderful he is… lol… Well, I will not be doing that, but I will tell you that I think his Iphone app is just fabulous. I got [...]

Chicken, lemon and ginger stirfry

After a long and lazy morning I had to go to the studio as I was having a workshop to give. I don’t do a lot of workshop but every once in a while I have a workshop on how to take photos of cakes. I know it sounds a bit weird, doesn’t it? But [...]

Lemon and chilli chicken noodles

I wasn’t planning on shooting our evening meal but due to a slight form of miscommunication it turned out I had to eat alone as Tom was going to his grandma first. She had a bit of a nasty accident involving grandpa and a car… I won’t go into the details but it’s not pretty [...]
