Selada Ayam Bami
Now and then I run into unique books. Books that leave an impression and are so much more than just plain cook books. This is one of them. The book is called Boekoe Bangsa, which means ‘Book of the family‘, and really, it’s the perfect name for it. It’s a book filled with beautiful, heartwarming and inspiring stories from Indonesian, Indonesian-Chinese and Moluccan families. In Dutch, though. It’s a book…
Kay’s Musakhan
I’ve been intrigued by Mushakan—a Palestinian dish made of chicken and onions, seasoned with sumac, and baked on top of mountain lavash or Saj bread—ever since I saw Bobby Chinn prepare it during World Cafe Middle East. So when Róisín mailed me a bottle of Sumac, I already knew what I’d be using it for. The bread used in the authentic recipe is near impossible to come by for a Dutch…
Onion, Bacon & Gruyere Quiche
The days of crisp salads and light fruit cocktails are over. Oh yeah, they’re gone alright. It’s time for Autumn food! Can you tell I have a thing for rich, nourishing, and abundant autumn dishes? Casseroles, savoury pies, soups, stews… you name it, I’ll make it. Today I’m celebrating the start of autumn with the ultimate comfort food: a simple and fast onion quiche. Nothing fancy. Cheating a bit even…

Nothing beats a good burger. I’ve always been in love with making burgers of all kinds. You can get a little crazy with them, I like that. There’s just so much flavour you can put into the burger itself. That way you can go easy on the fixings, even though a little melted cheese never hurt anyone. This baby has a wicked tomato flavour while the basil gives it a…
Witch’s Cheese
I’d never even heard of Witch’s cheese until someone asked me about the recipe. I googled it and quickly found it’s a typically Dutch (Twents) dip that’s used as crostini topping, sauce for pork chops, cheese spread, a vegetable dip and even dressing. Pretty versatile. Went to the store and there it was: Zuivelhoeve Heks’nkaas. Tasted it and in all honesty… wasn’t too crazy about it. To me it has…
Parmesan Mushroom Ragout
You can wake me up for this and I even promise I won’t deck ya! No, really, I’ll eat it smack-dab in the middle of the night. How’s that for procrastination? This bowl has a whole lot of creamy, yummy goodness in it. You can serve this with an indecent amount of crusty French bread for dipping, but what’s even better is warm, crispy crostini with some ragout spooned on…
