I can’t believe it’s almost Christmas. Only two more days to go and it’s here…! The season to be jolly… We’ve done most of our grocery shopping, all the presents are in the house although not all are wrapped yet and I still need to write a rhyme for just about all of them. It’s [...]

“O that’s gonna be an easy one.” I thought when going through the recipe for the creme brulee in Donna Hay’s book Modern Classics. Cream and eggs, what can go wrong right? Wrong! Ofcourse we have a Dutch saying that goes something like ‘Hoogmoed komt voor de val” and it precisely point out what I [...]

You did not think I would get rid of my cranberry sauce so easily now did you? It’s actually quite funny how you sometimes start baking and then have leftovers that turn out to be made into something far superior then your first recipe. I had one of those days today; it was about time [...]

I have visions of salads… lovely green salads with maybe just a tiny bit of nuts and a little bit of salty blue cheese and a gorgeous dressing. Salads that make me feel light and most of all healthy. Salads that give me the feeling that I am on the right track, that I am [...]

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 [...]

Yes it is that time of the year again!! Time to do christmas test cooking!! I love doing that. It’s always something that you can – technically – do the whole year, but for christmas you do pick other dishes, more festive and well, whatever the outcome it gives you an excuse to do some [...]

I know it feels like it is still months away from Christmas but it really is not and friends of ours came up with the idea to throw a pre-christmas party where the guests each cook something for dinner. Sounds like a fabulous plan right? And ofcourse we said yes immediately. Now the numbers are [...]
