Even though the sight of fields with rows and rows of tulips is nothing weird here I still love the sight of them. Since a few years the area around Almere is used to produce tulip bulbs, which means that the fields get to full bloom and are only removed once all the tulips are [...]

I think I’ve said it before but I’ll say it again; sometimes the best things in life are the simplest things… Now take for example this delicious bruschetta. Made with some of the leftover contents of our fridge and voila, you have a perfect lunch sandwich. Not sure how the weather is in your part [...]

Let’s just do another easy one, I thought to myself when going through one of Donna Hay’s cookbooks. It should be a simple recipe but enough of a challenge in getting it right.

Artisan bread in 5 minutes a day would that really be a possibility? When we had the breadbaking course last monday, my friend Tineke had brought the book Artisan Bread in 5 minutes a day along to discuss with our workshop leaders. Edwin Klaasen is a baker and obviously the workshop was held in a [...]

Bread… that most elusive of materials… I have to confess that I’m sort of a breadbaking virgin. True; I have baked bread before as you can see here but up till now it has been mostly with premade flourmixtures or has been a complete failure as you can see here…I have made quite a few [...]

It was time… It had been too long ago that Charlotte and myself (and Winfried) cooked up something fun together.. Well actually that is not even entirely true as Charlotte is also part of our cooking club so it’s not really that long, but cooking with more then two/three in this case does not count.. [...]
