Better called as “volcano muffins” in the office. Maybe because I did fill the muffin cases up to the sky! But delicious they were. -enjoy- INGREDIENTS 2 cups (300g) self-raising flour ½ cup (50g) Dutch cocoa, sifted 1 teaspoon baking powder, sifted 1½ cups (265g) brown sugar 2 eggs 150g unsalted butter, melted ¾ cup…

Harissa lamb, crispy carrot and haloumi burger
The carrots and ginger did not crisp up as much as I liked, the large volume (for 35 people!) in the oven made it too moist. But, if you serve this dish in smaller amounts you will manage to get it crispier. The taste of the harissa paste together with the lamb mince is delicious….
Skinny carbonara
And skinny it is! Lovely in texture and flavors. You can pimp it up with finely sliced bacon and we added some more Parmesan on top, just because we like it. Ingredients (serves 2) 200 g freshly podded or frozen peas 1 tablespoon flaked almonds 1 small clove of garlic ½ a bunch of fresh…
Baked mushrooms stuffed with ricotta (Funghi al forno ripieni di ricotta)
The Portobello mushrooms we used were huge. You can eat this as a starter or side dish. We served it together with the spaghetti skinny carbonara. The Bux tummies were filled to satisfaction. Don’t overdo it on the marjoram and oregano though, for me the ricotta can end up tasting like washing liquid. So keep…
Tender and crisp chicken legs with sweet tomatoes
For BUX lunch I made one batch with the cannellini beans and the other with new potatoes. Both got the thumbs up. The chicken legs were less crisp then I expected but I did cover them with lots of ingredients, so they really didn’t get a chance…The meat did fall from the bone. Next time…
Caprese soup

Apricot Almond Cake With Rosewater and Cardamom
I love making this cake. The smell of apricots and cardamom hanging around in the BUX kitchen is delicious. We had some leftovers wipped cream which we used too. And instead of the almonds we used hazelnuts (finely grinded) , which made the cake a little heavier but lush. -enjoy- Ingredients (Yields: 8-10 slices) For…

Slut’s Spaghetti
Our Spanish & Italian Buxers new immediately what I meant with this dish: Spaghetti alla putana. A working girl’s pasta is what Jamie Oliver calls it… let’s stick with that translation. In all languages the translation of this pasta dish passed the table for lunch. That’s what you get when you put a bunch of…
Salade Nicoise
A classic salad and very underrated if you ask me. My choice would be fresh french beans instead of frozen fine one’s. The oil of the sunblushed tomatoes together with the rest of the dressing are the star of this dish. -enjoy- Ingredients (Serves: 2 for supper or lunch) 2 large eggs 100 grams frozen…
