We had a ball today in the BUX kitchen. Everybody was guessing what the chef was preparing for lunch. One said “chicken”, the other figured “kebab”. I heard many suggestions, but none of them were right. aha! This Lamb curry came for some as a surprise, but it was delicious. We did serve the dish…

Sausage and spinach spaghetti
Another very “green” day in the BUX office. But I did promise meat and for sure the Buxers did get it. With green & red peppers instead of the sausage the vegetarian option was created, so that I kept all of these food lovers happy. -enjoy- INGREDIENTS (serves 4) 300g spaghetti (or other pasta) 1…
Spinach and lemon baguette
Today was another vegetarian day for the Buxers…although some of them sneaked a little anchovies into the salad ;-). I did promise some meat for tomorrow.

Pea, courgette and parmesan soup
This is an incredible tasty soup. The white pepper gives this dish a big kick, you will find yourself full of energy afterwards. Green makes and tastes good. A great spring dish! We added some homemade croutons to the soup to give it a bit of a crunch. Mmm -enjoy- INGREDIENTS (serves 6) 1½ tbsp…
Sweet leek, ricotta and tomato lasagne – With a gorgeously rich sauce
As we cooked this dish for lunch today, we didn’t use so many layers as suggested below. We were also supposed to finish the lasagne of with the rich tomato sauce, instead the chef forget to do this, the numpty ;-), and we ended up with a crunchy cheesy lasagne sheet on top. Again some…

Kimchi fried rice
It was a true challenge to cook this lovely dish for my Buxers yesterday. First, I did get on my bike from Central Station early in the morning, to get to this great place called Dun Yong. It’s a Walhalla of Asian Food at the Stormsteeg 9 in Amsterdam. With my Kimchi, take-away boxes and…
Brisket ragù with mushrooms and parmesan mash
Today at BUX HQ we welcomed some visitors from France, so we tried to make them feel at home with some nice food. The ragù could of stayed in the oven for just a little bit longer, but the taste was beautiful and the softness almost there. All thumbs went up for the Parmesan mash….
Italian-style tomato, chicken and bread soup
I love this soup! It’s my new favorite! Okay, it takes a little time to make, but the result is stunning. Nothing is better then homemade chicken stock. It beats the instant stock cubes by far. Take your time with this recipe. I promise you, it’s a real treat. We might have slightly overdone it…
Chilli tuna pasta
We used plain tuna today, as it was difficult to get hold of chilli flavoured tuna. But nevertheless the pasta was gorgeous. The lemon zest and the lemon juice make this dish taste of sunshine! Whatever sunshine may taste like 😉 -enjoy- INGREDIENTS (Serves 4) 500g spaghetti 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, plus extra…
