I’m a moron, you know that right? A downright idiot sometimes, if you will. I am impulsive. Act before I think about what I’m doing on many occasions. I change my mind often and radically too. Not to fear though, it usually effects only myself, so any harm done, is usually only done to myself [...]

Let’s just do another easy one, I thought to myself when going through one of Donna Hay’s cookbooks. It should be a simple recipe but enough of a challenge in getting it right. Well… if only I had thought about that a little better.. I failed, I failed miserably in recreating the original that you [...]

As soon as I arrive in the small street in Amsterdam I frantically start looking for a parking spot and luck seems to be on my side as I find one within 200 meters of my final destination. I park, put on my parkline parking thingie, grab my bag from the passenger seat and run [...]

Remember I had that delicious lentil salad a while ago with halloumi? For those of you that have never heard of Halloumi; it is traditionally a Cypriot cheese and it made from a mixture of goat’s and sheeps milk although apparently some have cow’s milk in there as well. It can be heated far higher [...]

It’s been an unsettling week the last week, where you sort of start to wonder if you all of a sudden found yourself in a really bad movie… The week started with the funeral of my brother’s father in law who passed away the week before. I then got a phonecall a day later from [...]

When you receive an email from Ivonne and Lis asking if you would like to host the Daring Cooks for december, you just don’t say no! So I happily said yes and I thought it was an honour to be even asked, but as soon as the email was send; panick set in! O noooo, [...]
