Now you probably thought I would continue posting recipes for utterly decadent and unhealthy chocolate cakes, right? But no… sorry to disappoint; it’s time to get healthy again! Talking of which I have a question for all of you… do you have any really good and really really fast recipes that you use for all [...]

“The moisture on the walls slowly dripped down, leaving a glistening trail behind. Every now and then a drop hit the floor, making a soft noise in otherwise silent and dark hallways.

I see a flutter of wings when the magpie family lands on the windowsill right in front of my office window. It’s rainy and windy outside and they’ve taken the liberty to use our windowsill as a hide-out when it gets too wet in the trees. They are curious and I think the reflection in [...]

Pasta I can eat just about any day of the week. I think I have said it before, but I will tell you again; it is the perfect meal for using leftovers. Tom and I have had a fabulous weekend with lots of sunshine and a really nice foodfestival called “the weekend of the rolling [...]

It’s been almost one and a half year ago that I last made this dish… Where did time go?? I cannot believe it is that long but here we are in 2010 and I made this before in 2008… The recipe comes originally from the book “Rond de wereld in 80 recepten” (around the world [...]
