You know me right? I like to follow all sort of workshops, cooking courses or anything really as long as it is vaguely and somewhere remotely related to food. If you’ve followed my blog for a while you might even have seen the bloodiest post I’ve ever written on dissecting a rabbit at the Kookstudio [...]

Isn’t it funny how my blog seems to have transformed into a bread baking blog in the last couple of days? For those of you that do not like bread, I can assure you that all will go back to normal quite soon. But today was our second part of the breadbaking course we had [...]

The fourth lesson of our cooking class was – I am sure – the day that some of the guys (I know at least that is true for my guy…:)) had been waiting for; the famous meat-lesson. As usual when we came in in the morning there was already a stack of various meats lying [...]

I am not sure when the whole photographing a cake-thing started, but I believe it was after I had done a course in decorating cakes at Oldenhof in Hilversum. I got so enthusiastic that I started searching the internet for more information on decorating cakes and ended up at the forum De leukste taarten where [...]

A while ago I was asked to go to a basic-workshop to learn about decorating cakes. I have done that on a couple of occassions and I do like it once in a while although I also have to confess that I am not the kind of girl who spends hours and hours to perfect [...]

I am not sure how it all started, but about a year ago I went to this workshop for decorating cakes and I loved it. So naturally – being me – I go home with loads of appliances and stuff to make cakes and – more importantly – to decorate cakes. I must have spend [...]
