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,…
Sweet Sunday – Classic French Madeleines
For the first time since 1,5 month, there’s a Sweet Sunday post! And it’s a good one if I may say so myself. I always deemed Madeleines as impossible to make, because 1. I did not have a madeleine tin, and 2. I did not know how to get that soft texture of the cookies,…
Y is for Your Italian Food Travel List

F is for Foccacia with Sea Salt, Rosemary, and Olives
After visiting Capri, Emilia-Romagna & San Marino, and Sicily, we’re traveling to yet another region in Italy. It’s time to take a trip to Liguria, in the northwestern part of the boot, neighbouring France. Supposedly, the name derives from the Latin word for hearth or place of baking: focus. Which seems like a probable reason to…

B is for Bustrengo
Forget everything you know about apple pie. I mean literally everything. Cause this Bustrengo is an apple pie like you haven’t had before. Bustrengo is a traditional Sammarinese recipe. Wait what? Sammarinese? What the hell is that? Well, my dear readers, this is the first recipe ever that I know about which originally comes from the…
My Favourite Easter Recipes
Easter is almost upon us! Just one working week left, and then it’s time to celebrate and mostly eat lots of stuff. For once in my life, I am actually not in Holland during the holidays. No no, the time has come for me to finally pack my bags and travel to Rome for a…

Homemade Spelt Bread Rolls
Warning: this post contains some real talk, but is followed by the most amazing bread roll recipe! (And yes, you can skip to that immediately if you want, I won’t judge, there’s a lot to read, I understand) For the last couple of years, I have been having some issues with my stomach. It was…
