I was with Meeta at the market in Germany when I spotted some quince. I had seen them somewhere before (on the internet!) but they are not a fruit you can easily find here in Holland, so I took them with me from Weimar to Holland. They keep forever anyway, so there was not a [...]

There are those things that you can almost predict will go wrong. As I had told you when announcing the Donna Hay Challenge nr. 2, I didn’t have time to make the challenge recipe prior to the actual challenge so I had to do it still, just like the rest of you and then shoot [...]

The first session of the Donna Hay Styling and Photography challenge did cause quite a bit of stir as there is a fine line between copying someone’s style and finding your own. I’ve said it a couple of times already but just to be absolutely clear on this; I am not trying to create little [...]

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 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 [...]

Can anyone tell me what Bulghur is? I was supposed to make the above recipe with Bulghur but – ofcourse – could not find it, so had to exchange it with couscous. My feeling is that the two are a lot alike, as it tasted quite good with the couscous. I was actually really really [...]

I felt like doing something fruity for dessert today. Quite frankly we shouldn’t be eating too many dessert, as we’re trying to watch our weight..(too many desserts in the past I guess…:)) but tonight a few of T.’s friends would come over to play D&D so that would give me the opportunity to have them [...]

I don’t really know what it is with pannacotta. Ever since I photographed the first one about a year ago, it seems to have grown into some sort of addiction, with the notable exception that now I have to make them first. The first pannacotta was made by Claudia, a real Italian lady, with whom [...]
