ricotta

Wow….it seemed I have stirred quite a few discussions with this Donna Hay  challenge.. Which I guess is a good thing too. The discussion mostly centered around the question of replicating and copying someone style. Which is definitely a valid discussion and while this is indeed a challenge where you have to copy someone elses [...]

We all have our own heroes when it comes to food photography and styling and I’ve always been a huge fan of Donna Hay’s style and all the photographers she works with. It’s an uncluttered and beautiful style where the hero of the photo is always the food. Years ago, when I first started taking [...]

I have this dilemma that I need your help with… I have currently three different blogs. One in English which you are reading right now, and two in Dutch; Frog Bites and De Glazen Vork. Frogbites is basically the same as this one but in Dutch and De Glazen Vork is a sort of online [...]

Did you know that the task of filling the black box with meaningful contents is actually underrated? It’s almost as difficult, if not more difficult, to decide what to put in as it is to make something out of it! For those who do not know… the Black Box is some kind of mystery box [...]

Macaroni with peas, bacon and ricotta

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 [...]

When reading about this challenge – the very first one for the daring cooks – I was a little anxious. The recipe seemed quite complicated plus I already know that my man would really not like this. He isn’t into anything that is cheesy and ricotta with parmezan…. well, that is just asking for trouble. [...]

Ricotta and white bean salad

I’ve been meaning to try out a few things by replicating an original photo. I’ve done this for the first time last year and was planning to do it every month, but work kind of got in the way of things. I then bumped into the SLW remake group on Flickr and thought I continue [...]

Roasted ricotta with honey tomatoes

Still not feeling all that well, although slightly better then yesterday. The thing now is that my eyes are completely puffed up from tearing so much yesterday, so it’s really not a pretty sight! Not a day to go outside… Anyone has an instant cure for puffy eyes (really, really puffy that is!) I would [...]

Ok, I have to confess this wasn’t really a challenge I had set myself upfront, since we were merely trying out new recipes for Christmas buffet… We are having people over for both days this year, which means a lot of cooking is involved! Instead of making more of the same we figured we try [...]

Delicious potato dish with prosciutto and creamcheese

See in the title where it says “young” potatoe? Well.., let’s just say that if you are planning on replicating this recipe, then make sure that you pick young potatoes and not just any old potatoe you have lying around in the house..:) It’s been a while since I have tried out some new recipes [...]
