I suspect with a title like this one there might be a bit more spam then the usual amount..lol.. But I couldn’t resist the literal translation for this typical Dutch dish. When I was asked by Ben from What’s Cooking if I wanted to do a guestpost in his worldseries I was flattered. I love [...]

Did you know that today is pancake day? I didn’t know up until two days ago that apparently today is THE day to bake pancakes. Obviously I do not need much excuses to start baking pancakes and it had been a while so I figured today would be as good a day as any. But [...]

It can be extremely trying in this december month to try and still eat within the budget of 10 euro. I can assure that we will be going over budget on many days this month, but in the meantime we still try and do our best to eat below the limit for most ‘regular’ days. [...]

spicy beansoup

I waste… We waste. We waste far too much food and quite frankly that doesn’t feel good. We also spend. We spend a huge amount of money every week or month on food and if I then have a look at what goes in the bin afterwards it’s fairly shocking. It seems more and more [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Greek salad

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 [...]

Delicious roasted pumpkin salad

Outside leaves are turning red, yellow and golden; a sure sign that the end of summer is now official and autumn is making it’s way in. The fact that it feels like it has been autumn for a couple of months now doesn’t make it any less noticeable. It’s the wind that’s telling us and [...]
