My first BUXday!

Last Wednesday I had my first year at BUX. It was MY BUXDAY! I did ask all my colleagues to tell me what their favorite dishes were that I made for lunch over the past year. The response was great and I had to pick out the most favorite, which wasn’t easy. This is how…

Caprese salad

So simple and so delicious! Great side dish or just as snacky 😉 -enjoy- INGREDIENTS (Serves 4) 4 vine-ripened tomatoes 4 slices prosciutto sea salt and cracked black pepper extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling 2 x 125g buffalo mozzarella, torn 1 cup basil leaves 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, extra…

Spinach and ricotta cannelloni

I did manage to make  this recipe for 35 people, but opted for the lasagne version instead of cannelloni. Rolling Cannelloni is far to time consuming for so many people, I thought. But by all means, try it at home when you are with 4-6 persons. I will definitely make this at home for my…

Crunchy Cajun chicken

I adapted Jamie Oliver’s recipe a little and used mini corn instead of corn on the cobs. The butter is a must! Absolutely delicious. We did serve the chicken in a ciabatta roll, like a chicken sandwich. -enjoy- Ingredients (Serves 4) 2 fresh red chillies 1 clove of garlic sea salt freshly ground black pepper…

Spanish week!

Yes! BUX was launched in Spain today, and of course we also did celebrate that a little bit in the BUX kitchen. A good way of celebrating is a good meal to share. So a huge pan of Paella was prepared this morning, and completely gone by the strike of 1 o’clock. Some of our…

Not just “a chocolate mousse”

It took a little time to set, but o boy, when it was ready to be eaten… colleagues were elbowing each other over the chocolate mouse bowl to fill their little cups till the brim and top it up with raspberries. Another Thursday dessert day feast in the BUX kitchen. INGREDIENTS (Serves 2) 200g dark…

New Orleans Coleslaw

The dressing of this dish is very nice. The pecan nuts with the maple syrup make this meal very special, people will comment on it how different and delicious this is. Great lunch recipe, nice with some chicken skewers as well. -enjoy- Ingredients (Serves 6) 1 white cabbage (about 1kg / 2lbs before trimming) 2…

Mushroom & lentil pappardelle bolognese

This is truly delicious. My vegetarian friends in the office were very very happy with me, but also the meat lovers couldn’t believe how nice this meatless meal really was. A green salad on the side made this dish look even more appetizing. Ingredients (serves 4) 1 carrot 1 onion 2 cloves of garlic 1…

Chicken & tarragon plate pie

This is a nice warm and light lunch, especially the sauce is delicious. I love the crunchy pastry on top. The rolls were for dipping the sauce 😉 With baby carrots & crème fraîche Ingredients (serves 6) rapeseed oil 1 onion 1 clove of garlic 1 teaspoon cumin seeds 1 bay leaf 1 orange 6…

OMG! Irish Cream Tiramisu

Not being funny, but this is the Tiramisu of the Tiramisu’s. The Queen of dessert. The most heavenly taste ever. Baileys is the trick, and of course the Sabayone or Zabaglione as the Italians say. (the eggyolks with the sugar and the booze). Do try this at home. You owe it to yourself 😉 -enjoy-…
