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…
Food Truck Festival Trek – The Hague
As you may or may not have read on my Twitter account (you can follow here if you want) I went to visit Food Truck Festival Trek in The Hague last weekend. As the name already suggests, this is a festival with food trucks. How clear can it be, right? Anyways, this was the first time that…
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…
The Corfu Diaries – Part IV
After our trip to Albania (which you can read about in part III), my siblings and I only had two days left in the beautiful country of Greece. The second to last day were spent by the house. Swimming in the pool, finishing our books, relaxing on the balconies. Staying outside till late at night,…
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…
The Corfu Diaries – Part III
Probably one of the most special trips during this holiday was our day-visit to Albania. Not only was it remarkable to go to a country that no one I know has ever visited, but to experience a culture that is so similar yet so different to my own, even if it was for just a…
Sweet Sunday – Chocolate Chip Cookies
WARNING: These Chocolate Chip Cookies might cause you to eat the whole batch in one go. This week’s Sweet Sunday recipe is quick and easy. But it is also incredibly delicious. So you might want to run a few extra miles today. Or not. Because it’s Sunday and you can totally handle eating all these…
The Corfu Diaries – Part II
The next entry in my travel journal about Corfu. If you haven’t read the first part yet, find it here. This part will be quite a bit shorter than the first one as we did not do that much. The next two days of the holidays were basically spent sleeping, reading, sunbathing, and swimming. Besides that,…
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…
The Corfu Diaries – Part I
After months of anticipation, Saturday the 2nd of August finally arrived. The day that I would travel to Corfu together with my brother and sister to meet my parents. My parents had already been travelling through Greece a week beforehand, but we would all come together for 1 week to fully relax and enjoy the…
