Pepper & Corn Pies
I really should do something about this puff pastry addiction of mine. But it’s so tasty! And easy! These mini Pepper & Corn Pies are really simple, but they taste and look absolutely wonderful and can even be made a day ahead of time. Really nice when you want to serve something different as an appetizer. Or as a savoury snack. It also makes for great picnic food. Really versatile mini-pie, I tell you!
Vegetable Cookies
I’m always on the lookout for new ways to sneak more vegetables into the kiddo’s diet. I’m pretty bad when it comes to that. Jessica Seinfeld got nothin’ on me, I tell you! Not even chocolate cake, hamburgers or pancakes are sacred to me. I literally spike everything with (pureed) veggies. Many things end up tasting better, richer even, when you add some veggies to them. This time ’round, I…
Moroccan Kefta
I’m making a Moroccan Kefta today—Kefta simply means ground meat. You grind it, add several spices to it and turn it into little meatballs. Of course you could try to shape them into little teletubbies, Eiffel towers, or even tiny Mona Lisas will do! Be creative! (just kidding, sorry:) My kefta is slightly different though; I’m using ground beef in stead of the more authentic ground lamb. Mine are also poached in a lemon…
Spicy Scampi
I have this thing for seafood. It’s the perfect appetizer; so tasty, light and pretty. I honestly believe that 50% of how food tastes is determined by how its presented. Lucky for me; there’s absolutely nothing easier and more beautiful to serve than gorgeous pink shrimps. I decided that one of our Christmas days (we have 2 official days of Christmas here) will be reserved for seafood. It’ll be a nice break from all…
Parmesan Twist
December is my favorite time of the year, but it’s also the most stressful time of the year when it comes to cooking. I’m hosting a new years party—which I absolutely love to do. Lots of friends, food, cocktails, champagne and laughter. It doesn’t get any better than that in my little world. I usually start preparing things one or two days ahead of time, so I’ll have my hands free…
Yakitori
Fancy cooking demystified. I already did it with my Lemongrass Kabobs and I’m not afraid to do it again :) You can find the most gorgeous creations online—beautiful dishes with fancy sounding names and difficult descriptions. Trust me when I say it’s often just great food styling, a lot of tricks that make the food look pretty but totally unedible (think soap and glycerin), using raw or only half cooked food combined with pretty photography to finish…
