Fish Cakes

As the amount of salmon fillet was a little bigger then 100g for my bunch, I did put the salmon in the oven to cook.  This dish is great for lunch with a nice salad. You might want to try the Coleslaw kimchi with it. We did, and it was a nice marriage. -enjoy- Tip:…

Chicken noodle soup

Four free-range chickens were used for today’s BUX chicken noodle soup. For a couple of hours the office was filled with the lovely smell of chicken stock, just like home 😉 Ingredients (serves 6) 1 celery heart 200 g small carrots 100 g baby leeks 2 cloves of garlic 200 g small onions 1 thumb-sized…

chocolate caramel muffins

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….

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

Absolutely delicious! Do serve this dish at room temperature, when you taste it you will understand why. This soup is easy to make and you can leave it for a while to cool down. Would love to hear if you liked it! -enjoy- Ingredients 1 bulb of garlic 1 kg mixed tomatoes extra virgin olive…

Ingredients (Serves: 6) 500 grams baby spinach 75 grams pumpkin seeds 2 avocados 1 teaspoon pumpkin oil 2 tablespoons groundnut oil ½ teaspoon salt zest and juice of 1 lime Method Toss together the baby spinach,…

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…
