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 [...]

Every single time we go to Greece the very first meal I order is a Greek salad. There is nothing better then the taste of those gorgeous tomatoes combined with the salty feta and the juicy cucumbers. Yes, even the cucumbers taste better in Greece! And then enjoying that while the only other sounds are [...]

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 [...]

I almost didn’t have time to make this lovely challenge for the february Daring Cooks, but thanks to the lousy weather I had to stay at home today instead of going to Belgium… So I guess that was a lucky coincidence to otherwise nasty weather… The 2010 February Daring COOKs challenge was hosted by Michele [...]

Let me just start by saying that this is maybe not the most logical dish while in winter. It’s lovely and refreshing, but also… it is supposed to be eaten cold, so if you’re in a summery country right now, this might just be the soup for you. Or if you’re like me – trying [...]

After doing the scones for the Monthly Mingle I got thinking that I would like to do some of those really typical sandwiches that you always get with a high tea as well. And I needed to make lunch at the studio anyway, so why not combine the two..? I had wanted to make some [...]
