A Club Sandwich takes me back to when I was living in London. As part of the curriculum for my study, International Hotel Management, I had to go on a traineeship abroad for 6 months. As a self-proclaimed anglophile, the choice for me was quite easy. It had to take place somewhere in the UK….

The Basics of Risotto
I’m going to Rome in April! It will be officially six whole years since my trip to the most beautiful city in the world. Six years, people, I was 16 back then. Do you realize how old I am getting? However, now I’ll definitely fit in between the ancient buildings and rich history. So to prepare…
Tuna Salad for One
Whenever my parents are having dinner somewhere else, I start to panic. Because what do I eat when they’re gone and I’m home alone. Most of the times this results in me eating a sandwich or crackers. For someone with her own food blog, this might seem a bit strange. But too be honest, the…
Saint Nicholas’ Eve
Yesterday my family and I celebrated Sinterklaas. A day later than the actual holiday, which I’ve told you a little about in the last Sweet Sunday post along with a recipe for the traditional cookies we eat around this time: kruidnoten. On Pakjesavond, or Saint Nicholas’ Eve, our family has the tradition (like most other…
Sweet Sunday – Dutch Pancakes
Oh hi there! Sorry for vanishing for more than a week! I had no creativity or motivation to do anything for my blog last week. Well, that and I was just lazy. Shame on me… But anyways, I’m back now! And I’ve got loads of ideas for the upcoming Sweet Sundays, so we’re good to…
Smoked Salmon Quiche
I looooooove quiches. To me, they are the quickest, easiest, dinner to put together. Just toss in any vegetable, meat, fish, you have, and you’ll end up with a delicious hearty pie. Once you’ve mastered the basic recipe, set your mind free and be inspired by whatever ingredient you have in your fridge or cupboard….
Lasagna al Forno
I’ll just straight up say it. I am not a big fan of lasagna. I do not NOT like it, but I don’t particularly love it. To some of you this might seem strange, as I have just confessed my undying love for pasta in the previous hearty post. However, I finally found out why…
Pasta with Peas and Bacon
Pasta. The greatness of pasta cannot be put into words. It is one of the most versatile ingredients, with many different shapes and forms. You can either use it in complex and luxurious dishes, or just use it simple but flavourful ones. This recipe is one of the latter. Pasta with peas and bacon. I…
Arabic Meatloaf
Okay, so this meatloaf is not really an Arabic meatloaf. I have yet to see a Middle Eastern person to make a meatloaf. However, I love the flavours of the Arabic kitchen, and I love meatloaf. Besides, meatloaf is basically one giant meatball, and every cuisine has that. So, by combining the best of both…
Bulgursalad with Fresh Vegetables
Back in Holland! I had a lovely time in Greece, and am currently working on a post to tell you all about it. So stay tuned! Honestly, I am absolutely addicted to salads. They are so easy, filling, and you can basically put everything in it that you have left in the kitchen. I am…
Healthy Chicken Burgers
Nearly there! It’s almost weekend again! What makes it even better for me? I am going on a holiday! Together with the whole family, I’m going to Corfu, an island on the west coast of Greece. Hello sun, sea, Retsina, and Feta. Goodbye, weird weather in Holland. As I’m trying to pack for the trip,…
