Happy Sunday to you all! I’m thoroughly enjoing my very relaxing Sunday, my parents have gone out today, so I’ve go the house all to myself. This means that I’m currently blasting my music through the speakers and singing alone quite beautifully (not true) and quietly (also not true). How’s your day so far? For…

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…
Sweet Sunday – Autumn Coffee Cake
When I first started this blog, I had no idea of what to expect in terms of followers. Did anyone even want to read my posts and try my recipes? Turns out, there are actually people that do! As my follower count was slowly creeping up, I was thinking that I had to something special…
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…
Sweet Sunday – Dutch Ontbijtkoek
As a lover of all things food, I own a lot of cookbooks. And by a lot, I mean really a lot. They range from Jamie Oliver, to Nigella Lawson. From small IKEA cookbooks, to big pricey ones. Two of my favourites are actually getting pretty old, dating back to the 50’s. Both of them…
Sweet Sunday – Yogurt with Candied Pecans à la Vince
About two years ago my parents and I went to the United States. During our three-week roadtrip we visited the Eastcoast, places such as New York, Boston, Chicago, Philadelphia and so on. This is still one of the best holidays I’ve ever had. To end the intense travelling, packing and unpacking, and driving, the last…
Sweet Sunday – Classic Tiramisu
For a recipe that is so globally known to be an Italian staple dish, Tiramisu is actually a relatively new creation. It has been invented in the 1960’s, although there is still debate on the location and the creator. Nevertheless, it has quickly become a classic dessert in Italy. Originally, Tiramisu did not include Marsala or…
Sweet Sunday – Chocolate Chip Cookies

Sweet Sunday – Profiteroles
Profiteroles, or as we call them in Dutch “soesjes”, could easily be my favorite food in the world. What’s not to love about this dish when it involves pastry, whipped cream, and melted chocolate? Just by writing this, my mouth starts to water. To my pleasant surprise, it is incredibly easy to make! I’ve tried…
Sweet Sunday – Hazelnut Biscotti
Yes, yes, yes! Sweet Sunday is finally back! Oh, how I have been slacking on this day… But I return with this gorgeous recipe for Hazelnut Biscotti. A classic Italian cookie. This particular recipe incorporates marsala in the dough, so if you do not like that, or need something children proof, just substitute it with…
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…
