Pioneer Pie
It’s a bit chilly and rainy here today in my little country below sea-level. As soon as the weather takes a turn for the worst I always seem to fall back on casseroles, stews and and soups. Can you say predictable? I must admit, though; I don’t really stick to seasonal dishes. I’ll eat stews and chili con carne during summer just as easily as I eat salads or gazpacho during winter….
Gouda: De Roode Leeuw
No, this isn’t even Kayotic Kitchen going Dutch! (pun intended). Though I can see why you might think that! Here’s something I really, really wanted to show you. I planned on making this part of a special food posting, but because the food posting itself is turning out pretty photographic intense, I decided to just slap it up as a separate posting. That way the text also won’t end up…
Stoofvlees Part II
Stoofvlees part II. Part I can be found right here. Sure it was a little cruel to leave you hanging for a full day, but the meat had to marinate! Okay, so I got a little kick out of it as well. What can I say? I have a cruel streak! Time to cook up a storm now, though! Let me make it up to you.

Dutch Macaroni
A question I’m often asked; “What package did you use? Geez, thanks a lot, so when something tastes good, it has to be a package, right? :) I have to admit I seldom to never use packages for anything. It’s not that I’m a food purist—I just really don’t like the faint suggestion of something chemical I always seem to taste in there. I get far better results with simple…
Curly Endive Mash
A stamppot is a really traditional and simple Dutch dish; mashed potatoes with one or more (root) vegetables. What I really love about a good ‘stamppot‘, though, is how you can add almost anything to it and still have it taste great. It’s a great way to clean out your vegetable drawer at the end of the week, because you can easily combine two or more vegetables! Usually a stamppot is served with smoked sausage (like the one…
