Only a few more days before I’m off to London for Foodblogger Connect and I’m not sure if it is me, but what is all that chaos in London right now… ?? I mean seriously; first I was supposed to go to Japan and we all know what happened there, then I was supposed to [...]

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 [...]

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 know there have been several occassions that I complained to you about my weight and the eternal struggle to get back to a healthy weight. Well, let me tell you that I am still nowhere near that goal at this point in time. It appears that I just love food too much, but as [...]

What I sometimes like to do and I am sure I have told this before, but o well, I am getting old so then it is allowed to repeat onces self (within reason ofcourse..lol) When I need to work in the studio I sometimes decide I want to prepare a nice lunch; first to eat [...]

I have been posting a lot of soup recipes lately now haven’t I? Probably because a good soup is comforting, warming and – not unimportantly – it is also very quick to make. So I love trying out new soup recipes for lunch. Especially now that the weather seems to go back into full wintermode [...]

Yesterday I finally received my brand new Macbook pro so I love new toys and I [...]

There are many things that can be said about Jamie Oliver and you either love him or you hate him (apparently) but you cannot say he has a lack of enthusiasm for cooking and product in general! Yesterday we were watching an episode of Jamie at home which we have on DVD (in case you [...]

Today was just one of those days… I wasn’t particularly busy, but Tom had been standing in a traffic jam almost the entire day; crossing the country from one end to the next. I knew he was going to be home rather late, so I wanted to make something quick yet tasty. It was already [...]

After working today I figured I wanted something tasty and quick. Quick these days seems to be the major keyword…. Tom is out tonight, which meant I get to make things he doesn’t like and he doesn’t like ricotta, so when I saw this recipe in the Good Food of this month, that seemed like [...]

See the lovely green color of those peas?? I used frozen ones this time! Will not make the mistake of using canned peas (as here) again! Today was a national holiday so we kind of spend the day cooking. Let me be more specific; I have been cooking (and baking) and Tom was busy (spring)cleaning [...]
