Funny story. Kayotic Kitchen was recently published in a Dutch magazine. The header stated “They even make my split pea soup in Egypt“. I thought I’d die laughing—there is was no split pea soup recipe in my food blog! It was so amusing to read how the interview I gave them had been creatively altered. So I guess it’s about time I slap up an “erwtensoep” recipe, wouldn’t you say? Even…
It’s snowing and it’s so cold here. Now snow can be romantic, I know, and it probably would be if I’d spend the weekend in some luxurious cottage in St. Moritz, completely snowed-in with George Clooney. But no, not me, in stead I caught my little man’s cold and am sniffling, wheezing and coughing my way through the days. Really romantic, huh? Hearty chicken soup, there’s just no better cure for a cold. Now if you’re a food snob,…
Here’s a simple, completely unprepared, spontaneous and slightly odd recipe. Spur of the moment thing, so bear with me.

‘Tis the season! There’s a chill in the air! Feel it? In my kitchen that means soup time. I’m afraid my soup section is going to be shamefully packed over the next few weeks. Completely addicted to the liquid loveliness. Especially hearty and rich autumn soups. Nothing beats sitting down with a fragrant, steaming bowl of hot soup after a long autumn walk in the woods or on the beach. The…
Beautiful and delicious doesn’t have to be complicated. Not at all. I like a soup that has such a variety of aromatic flavors, that with each spoonful I’m wondering just what precisely they put in there to make it taste like this. This is one of those soups. It contains only a few simple and natural ingredients -chances are you’re even working with things you already have in your fridge and…
