Cherry Tomato & Olive Clafoutis

A classic Clafoutis is a rustic French dessert made with cherries, but guess what; there’s no rule that says you can’t turn it into something savory as well. I’ll often turn sweet recipes into savory ones because I just have a meat tooth instead of a sweet tooth. Think of this recipe as a sort of Quiche without the pastry base. What we’re talking about here is a creamy batter,…

    Vegetable & Tuna Roll

    I’ve been meaning to try this recipe -or at least try a modified version of it- ever since I saw it printed in a magazine several weeks ago. It seemed so savory, hearty and simple. Perfect for a lazy Sunday brunch or lunch or dinner (might want to add a salad). Then life got in the way, but finally I got around to making it. I made a few tweaks,…

      Chana Chat. Indian Spicy Salad.

      First ever guest posting on Kayotic Kitchen! I really want to introduce a friend of mine, Simone. Simone is a fellow Dutchie and is the author and photographer of Junglefrog Cooking—one of my favorite food blogs. I love her recipes and photography. Here’s why!   When Kay asked me if I wanted to do a guest post on her blog I was honored, especially since that doesn’t happen very often….

        Caldo Tlalpeño

        This bowl is filled to the rim with pure savory and spicy love. I was blown away by how all these (to me) unexpected flavors came together in the end. When I placed my order at the Mexican web store, I also threw a pack of tlalpeño bouillon cubes and a can of chipotle chiles in adobo into my virtual basket, having no clue what to do with either one…

          Summer Minestrone

          A flavor bomb, and a healthy one to boot. That’s what this soup chockfull of fresh local produce is. There’s no other way to put it. Tons of vegetables went into this baby and the result is an amazing soup, both in flavor and color. It was summery while still being hearty and wholesome enough to hold me over ’til dinner. Ate it with a nice scoop of basil &…

            Quick Wedge Salad

            Another one of those: “Bring a little USA to the Netherlands,” recipes is a wedge salad. If you’re Dutch, chances are you’ll be frowning now, wondering just what the heck a wedge salad is. You see, here in Holland we never, ever eat our lettuce in wedge form. It’s just not something you’ll see happening here. Not in our homes, not in our restaurants, nowhere really. Bringing plates filled with…
