I’ve always been a big Jamie Oliver fan. I think his passion for food and his commitment to making people, all people, eat better, healthier and homemade is unique. I love his food, his cookbooks and his tv-shows. So it’s sort of a weird thing that I had not heard about the upcoming food revolution [...]

Don’t you just sometimes feel you’re at the mercy of some stranger when it comes to hosting of your blog? Not too long ago I moved from my Dutch hosting guys to Hostgator and while I have to say everything went smoothly up until this morning, I now felt why it makes sense to have [...]

Even though the weather is certainly not salad-weather at the moment, I figured that maybe, if I eat enough salads, the sun will magically appear? Will that work you think? Sort of reversed psychology for the weather.. As I am typing this it is actually pouring down with rain again so sofar it hasn’t helped, [...]

I was madly in love. Madly in love with a tough biker guy called Paul. He was blond, tall and handsome and every time I looked into his eyes I sort of felt my butterflies dance. I had met Paul through a mutual girlfriend called Agnes. At the time I was still working as a [...]

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 was quite excited when I read what the Daring Bakers challenge for this month was gonna be… Tiramisu… And it would be hosted by two of my favorite blogs! Tiramisu is an old time favorite in this household and in fact something I make almost every year for New Years when we go and [...]

It’s been a while since I made my first macarons and since this evening we are going to visit my parents in law I figured it would be a perfect day to make a new batch of these delicate cookies. I think officially I am not supposed to call them cookies, but for lack of [...]

After a long and lazy morning I had to go to the studio as I was having a workshop to give. I don’t do a lot of workshop but every once in a while I have a workshop on how to take photos of cakes. I know it sounds a bit weird, doesn’t it? But [...]
