Sloppy Joe Meatball Sandwich
I was so glad I grabbed my camera when I decided to give this recipe a try. Here’s what happens when Sloppy Joe meets Parmesan meatballs and is slightly tweaked. It’s a serious mix and match of ingredients that I at first didn’t think would work out at all. Boy, was I wrong. This is meatball love on a bun. Ingredients: bread of choice 1 pound ground beef 1/2 small…
Beef al Pomodoro
You must try this. I’ll be twisting your arm if you don’t because you’ll miss out on the best beef stew, ever. You will want to bathe yourself in this stuff or use it as a perfume, mark my words. As if a slow simmered beef stew isn’t good enough on its own, this one’s infused with a lot of different tomato flavors—from sun dried tomatoes packed in oil and…
Austrian Goulash Soup
I found this recipe in one of my grandma’s cook books. You see, our Dutch food is the pretty straight-forward, no-nonsense and nourishing type of food. No light summer dishes or use of exotic spices. I love our Dutch food, but there’s a time and place for everything, so when autumn sets in that’s when I install myself on the couch with a huge pile of Dutch cook books and…
Autumn’s Harvest Stew

It’s a slow process; the slower it’s cooked the better. Not to mention all the chopping involved. Now this is a fairly basic and straight-forward stew. In my world that means good-quality beef, an awful lot of fresh vegetables and eventually a…
Kefta Mkaouara
The moment I bought my tagine I knew this traditional Moroccan dish would be the very first meal I’d cook in it. Kefta Mkaouara is a simple, no-nonsense spicy meatball tagine that is to die for. You’re talking wonderfully seasoned meatballs that are slowly simmered in a sauce made from onion, garlic, tomatoes, spices and (in my case) ras el hanout and harissa. These ingredients combined create a deep, rich…
Summer Steak Sandwich
Nope, this sandwich is not going to get you any marriage proposals. No 5 carat diamond rings. No serenades, or even professions of love. Nothing of that. Just dirty dishes, a messy kitchen and a lot of happy faces. Did I mention the dirty dishes already? Because your family will devour this and will send you straight back into the kitchen for more. Provided you’re willing to do that, of…
