  • Testing Cinnamon rolls

    Trying some sweet recipes lately. One of the latest ones was nice take on cinnamon rolls, inspired by BBC GoodFood.

  • When Belgian bitterness becomes sweet

    This recipe always reminds me of my sister. She didn’t like Belgian endive because of the bitterness. Orange braised endive on the other hand is a very tasty dish, inspired by Discover Endive.

  • Episode of the Madeleine

    My list of draft posts is pretty big. So time to recollect those recipes from my memory and write them down. First one is about Madeleines inspired by Dagelijkse Kost.

  • Vegi what?!

    I got my food mojo back. There, I have said it! It feels liberating. It’s about time for some new ideas and experiments. I started off with some vegi craziness, Gobi Manchurian inspired by Sunshine and Smile.

  • The world upside down

    Sometimes the simplest ideas are often best. Of course the Tarte Tatin is a great example of that, turning your apple tart upside down. I took a spin on that and made some upside down apple cakes, inspired by Wikipedia.

  • Does appearance really matter?

    Food is all about senses. Taste and smell are pretty important senses for me. But sometimes I wonder if sight is also important when it comes to food? Sight was also the main reason why I made Chinese tea eggs last week, inspired by Wikipedia

  • Sharing sweets

    It’s always great to share food with people you like, especially sweets. This weekend I had a good reason to share some sweets, a really nice sunny day at the park. I made some muffins with red currant for this occasion, inspired by Noms I Must

  • Still twenty something

    A couple of months ago I celebrated my birthday. Not a big party but I had another thing to do. The last few years it was a habit to bring along home made birthday cakes to work. This year wasn’t an exception. I made a Spanish almond cake, inspired by Koken & Genieten

  • Crunchy inspiration

    Always got new inspiration for food. A lot of things can be the trigger. This time it was a new kitchen gadget, a mandoline. A perfect tool for a new DIY project, making potato chips. Inspired by a recipe from The Merlin Menu.

  • Have a break

    Working outside the office has been really busy lately. But it also has it pros. You meet new people, see new places and of course I come across different food. For instance, fresh cherries. I used them for cakes inspired by Muffin tin mania.
