Peachy Chicken
You knew I was going somewhere when I posted my Rice Presentation, didn’t you? There are certain dishes that will always remain special to me. This peachy chicken dish is one of them. I pretty much grew up on it and now my son is growing up on it. Old family recipes can have a such a huge impact on people. Both positive and negative, of course—I still cringe when…
Roti Chicken
I’m making a lot of my friends very, very happy by posting this recipe. Up until now, I’ve always blatantly refused to hand over my Roti chicken recipe (and rightfully so). There are certain things you just don’t share. Men, eyeliner and your secret recipes! But I was in a generous mood, so here it is! I have a deep-seated love for Surinamese food. It’s absolutely fantastic food. Colorful, fragrant, spicy, hearty and simple. Real…
Curried Chicken Salad
I’m really predictable when it comes to food. Well, I’m really predictable, period. Friday nights are low key here. We keep it simple and order take out, make a pizza or whip up a burger. It’s our ‘junk food’ night to prelude the weekend. Sunday is reserved for the heavier work—the roasted chicken or other beasts, marinated spareribs, big pots of soup with home made bread or hearty beef stew dishes. Halfway during…
Roasted Chicken & Vegetables

One of my favorite ways to prepare dinner is just let the oven do the work for me—which is probably why roasting meat, poultry, vegetables and potatoes is by far my favorite cooking…
Crijo-jo
Happy new year everyone! Secretly I’m glad the holidays are over, it’s probably best for my thighs. Desperately need flavorful food with way less calories than what I’ve been consuming over the past few weeks of holiday foods. Oh boy, I fear the scale. So here’s a relatively low calorie and absolutely amazing sauce. Literally translated, Crijo-jo means ‘local‘. It’s the name of a spicy Antillean sauce that I’ve grown…
Yakitori
Fancy cooking demystified. I already did it with my Lemongrass Kabobs and I’m not afraid to do it again :) You can find the most gorgeous creations online—beautiful dishes with fancy sounding names and difficult descriptions. Trust me when I say it’s often just great food styling, a lot of tricks that make the food look pretty but totally unedible (think soap and glycerin), using raw or only half cooked food combined with pretty photography to finish…
