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….

Sweet Sunday – Pink Macarons
Happy Sunday! Being a lover of Pavlova, I figured I should try making those cute macarons. They seemed to emerge out of nowhere the last years, and could literally be seen everywhere. I thought they were alright, but did not really understand the hype surrounding it. Until I made my own. Because how delicious are these…
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…

Sweet Sunday – Christmas Cookies
It’s Christmas time! The most wonderful time of the year is upon us! Oh, how I love Christmas. Darkness outside but warm indoors. Family, friends, and food. Lights in the tree and cinnamon-scented candles. Impressive dinners and glasses of red wine. And cookies. Cause what would a holiday (or any day for that matter) be…
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 Kruidnoten
Sweet Sunday is holiday themed this time! Next week, on the 5th of December, the Dutch celebrate a holiday called Sinterklaas. Some of you may be familiar with it, as it has been on the news quite a bit lately… Anyways, let’s not dive into that right now. Sinterklaas is basically the Dutch version of…
Sweet Sunday – Dutch Cake
I think, along with a lot of other Dutch bakers, that there has always been some confusion when it comes to the definition of cakes. See, in Holland a cake is basically what a pound cake is in the UK or the USA. However, the term “cake” in these countries is far more general, as…
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….
