Broccoli, Cauliflower and Stilton Soup

The original ingredients of this recipe consist of mainly broccoli and Stilton. Just because our grocery supplier didn’t have enough broccoli in stock, we opted for cauliflower. Also, we changed the dried thyme for dried Italian herbs, which worked out really well. This soup is quite filling, but absolutely gorgeous. It’s great to add this…

Pecan and pretzel salted caramel bars (tart)

Panic in the kitchen. Where are the pretzels gone? My colleague Chris could tell me with his eyes what happened. No further questions were needed. So, our salted caramel bars were made without pretzels, but instead we got some almond flakes out of the cupboard to use. This is very very delicious . Not very…

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

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…

Loaded Potato skins with smashed peas & smoked salmon

We made a jacket potato bar yesterday for lunch, so you could pick lots of different fillings for your potato skin. One of the toppings you could choose from was smashed peas with mint and Parmesan cheese. Yum! First you wash the jacket potato, dry it, oil all over with good quality olive oil, sprinkle…
