This cold bean salad is lovely. The Buxers looked a bit funny at the orange peels in their salad but nobody complained, so I guess they love it as much as I do! I made lots, so extra’s for tomorrow. I did follow this Ottolenghi recipe from top to bottom for the best result. Ingredients…

Ricotta tart
These shortcrust cuties were already made and bought from my grocery supplier. We made 7o of them today! I do like to fill them with anything I fancy. Today it was with ricotta, following this recipe. The sundried tomatoes on top are the zing to the tarts. Ingredients (serves 6-8) 200g shortcrust pastry 30g unsalted…
Cauliflower soup with mustard croutons
This soup is definitely something different! I gave it my own little twist and left the herb bundle in when blitzing the soup smooth. Of course I did take the cooking string off first. I also cheated with the croutons. Instead of using crustless Ciabatta I used already made croutons instead. It did work out,…
Almond and pear tarts
These tarts above became little pear parcels as I didn’t have enough puff pastry. But, hey, don’t they look cute? I also cheated a little with the pears. In red wine pre- cooked and tinned pears were used. ;-0 (The picture is before they went into the oven) INGREDIENTS (makes 6) 4 sheets frozen butter…

Christmas Dessert 2016
This tart is a long time favourite of our family. This year we gave it a little twist by adding little meringue drops and blue berries. A hit with the little cousins, as some berries and drops got picked off before serving… The base of this tart, the shell, can be made way beforehand and…
Chicken with coleslaw
Instead of fresh rolls, I used ciabatta’s for the chicken and coleslaw, what was very nice too. You just have to cut the chicken thigh up a little and spread it out together with the coleslaw over your bread. Very nice indeed. Ingredients (serves 4) 4 higher-welfare chicken thighs 1 lemon 1 red chilli ,…
Baked sweet potatoes with grated salad & very sticky and crunchy seeds
Okay, you might not be able to see the sweet potato hidden underneath the grated salad, but to get an idea, it should look like that! For me the best part of this dish are the sticky crunchy seeds and the spiced yoghurt. But to be honest, this whole sweet potato rocks! -enjoy- Ingredients (serves…
Grilled mushroom risotto
Sometimes it is very daunting to cook an Italian dish for my Italian colleagues. But when it works the joy is double! This risotto dish takes some time and care to make it, but you will agree with me that the result is worth it. I didn’t grill the mushrooms in a griddle pan but…
Happy New Year Tomato Soup!
It was my first day back in the office today and I got a warm welcome from my BUX buddies… did they miss me or my food? Both ways are fine with me, as I missed cooking for them too 😉 Everybody felt a little bit cold and shivery, so this Happy New Year Tomato…
