Won’t you just look at these cuties? Aren’t they gorgeous?Their looks aren’t all they have got going for them. These little cheesecakes have a wonderful fresh flavour coming from the tangy lemon. The surprise comes later when after the first taste the limoncello joins the party. Although it’s quite a heavy liqueur (at least for me…

Couscous with Roasted Pumpkin
How’s the weather where you live? Here in The Netherlands it’s quite strange actually. Just like the last couple of years, summer started late, so we’ve had a pretty warm September. Thankfully, there have been some colder days and I can wear my beloved sweaters again. I am so looking forward to a cold winter…
Spaghetti Aglio e Olio
All pasta lovers assemble! This is the spaghetti recipe to end all spaghetti recipes. It’s fresh, it’s beautiful, it’s delicious. Just know that it is probably not a great idea to eat this before you’re going on a date or dancing, as there are quite some strong flavours involved. Namely garlic.Seriously though, I sincerely believe…

Honey Roasted Sweet Potato Fries with Sea Salt and Oregano
I remember the first time I ever ate sweet potatoes in my life. It was on a hot summer’s day while I was on a holiday with my parents in the US. More specifically, we were seated on the terrace of our hotel’s restaurant in Mackinac Island, Michigan, overlooking the magnificent Lake Huron. We were…
Oven Roasted Trout with Fresh Herbs
One of my all time favourite fish recipes is this one: a whole trout roasted in the oven and filled with herbs, lemon, onion, and garlic. It reminds me of lovely summer evenings, when the sun is still shining, the temperature is still warm, and the white wine is cold.Go to your local fish shop,…
Broccoli Salad with Sun Dried Tomatoes and Pine Nuts
Summertime means salads. Light and fresh meals or side dishes that are quick to make and even quicker to eat (because they’re so delicious). One of my favourites is this Broccoli Salad with Sun Dried Tomatoes and Pine Nuts.
Zucchini Mint Soup with Smoked Salmon
I don’t know about the rest of the world but it’s been abnormally warm in The Netherlands this week, with the temperature reaching 35 degrees in some places. It’s lovely though if you have vacation (like me) and can go to the beach with friends when you want (like me). When it is as hot…
Mexican Burgers with Avocado, Fried Egg & Tomato Salsa
Well, well, look who decided to show her face on here once more. The last couple of weeks have been quite life changing for me. I finished my 9-month graduation placement, handed in my thesis, and done my thesis defense. And what do you know… I GRADUATED!!! So yeah, after all the stress and nerves…
The Secrets of Sweet Sunday
Oh my god, you guys!! My blog has celebrated it’s very first birthday yesterday and I completely forgot about it! Thank you all for your sweet comments and follows during the past year, and I promise that I’ll get back dedicating my time to the blog asap! As a celebration, I thought it would be…
Sweet Sunday – Blueberry Nutella Brownie
I have previously talked about my undying love for Nutella. So a recipe like this was long overdue. Better late than never, right. Also, it’s kind of a celebration present to myself for successfully finishing my placement, which means one step closer to graduation! Party-time! We all know (and love) brownies, not only because they…
Sweet Sunday – Traditional Dutch Apple Pie
Birthday means cake. Birthday means choosing your own cake. In my family, birthday means choosing what cake Lisa has to make. This week it was my sister’s turn. Her choice has been the same for many years: Apple Pie. I always make the traditional Dutch Apple Pie, which is almost always served with whipped cream,…
