Restaurant & Takeaway DING DONG

Another great food place opened in Den Bosch 6 months ago. I just love it. Again with a great wink to everything too serious, the creative brains behind restaurant BUURT, Foodbar DIT and Mariapaviljoen came up with another fantastic concept. The menu varies from Yakitori skewers to Beijng Buns to Thai Green Curry. And yes,…

Foodbar DIT

The big sister of BUURT! This place brings a big smile on your face as soon as you walk through the door. The people working at DIT are very friendly, the interior is colorful, and you never stop looking at all these hidden jokes written on the walls, ceilings or even in the menu. They…

Creamy asparagus soup

This recipe is meant to be with green asparagus. But because it’s the season for the white ones, I picked those. Don’t forget if you do so too, to peal the skin of the white asparagus. The outside is tough and difficult to eat. Just an idea, maybe I will try a mix of both…

Baked feta & tomatoes

Lovely summery dish. The baked feta cheese combined with the kalamata olives was a great hit. Do try this easy to make dish at home, as a side dish great too. Ingredients (serves 4) 250 g feta cheese 500 g mixed tomatoes 1 handful of kalamata olives (stone in) 200 g sourdough ½ bunch of…

Squash & sausage risotto

For people who cannot do without meat, it is a great idea to add sausages to your risotto anytime. You can make it as spicy as you would like. Today we added chipolata sausages, the favorite of many youngsters. Served with a slice of focaccia with tomatoes and olives. Yum! Ingredients (serves 4) 4 higher-welfare…

Great to see some of my recipes back in a range of cooking books for Dutch shopping chain Xenos. It was awesome to participate in this project, I loved every minute of it! Check out the other bloggers involved too! The Books are, next to an earlier published range, available in Xenos shops throughout The…

Red Prawn and Pineapple Curry

Hearing or seeing the word pineapple always makes me think of party and sunshine, don’t ask me why! This dish was meant to be made with the mango fruit, but for some reason our delivery of mango’s went wrong. Lucky enough we had plenty supply of pineapple. The curry was deliciously spicy and sweet. My…

Not So Red Velvet Cupcakes

Thursday Dessert Day! Haha, Nigella says it herself in the Method, the color of the cupcakes turn out not to be so red after all! But they are velvet, for sure. We had some little meringue toppings left so that’s what we opted for, instead of chocolate sprinkles or red sugar. They taste delicious. I…

Praised Chicken

Great Nigella Lawson recipe! Love it. After a rather large and heavy lunch yesterday we needed something light and comforting together. For the big eaters we served the soup with rice, for the conscious one with a cheeky little piece of bread & butter. It probably won’t surprise you when I tell you that some…

Baked potato with rapid ragu & green bean salad

This rapid ragu is a Nigella Lawson recipe, the baked potato was my own idea to add. Together with the cold bean salad and almond shavings, this dish became more of an early dinner. 😉  -Enjoy- PS: I did make a vegetarian version as well. Just leave the pancetta and lamb out. The caramelized onions…
