Noodle & Rice boxes

This inspiration came from Jamie Oliver. Our “customers” could choose from salmon, tuna or chicken. For the vegetarians we made a couscous version with falafel and hummus. Very nice as well! Let you imagination go wild with the ingredients. It’s lots of fun to make and to serve. We definitely will make this for BUX…

Salmon en croute / potato gratin / french bean salad

Roast carrot & fennel soup

The combination of carrot and fennel is delicious. Although it was hard to roast all the vegetables well for the amount of people I was cooking for that day (40)!

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…

Tray-baked panzanella salad
