  • 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

  • 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.
