Dutch Winter Stew
It’s Sunday, just got back from a long walk in the park before the bad weather is supposed to set in. I have plenty of free time on my hands, lots of beef in the freezer, stocked up on vegetables, radio tuned in to the best Motown, northern soul music and my munchkin is napping. What more could a girl ask for? It’s stew time! I love beef, I love…
Tuna Deluxe
I’m usually pretty laid back when it comes to food. As long as I can’t still perform CPR on it or have it look back at me from my plate (really not a sushi girl here) I’ll eat almost anything. However, I’m a very picky eater when it comes to salads. When it comes to egg salad, I usually stick to my own recipe. I’m even worse when it comes to tuna…
Lemongrass Kabobs
I’ve made a so called ‘Rijsttafel’ (which translates to ‘Rice Table’). It’s an indonesian dish – I really shouldn’t call it a ‘dish‘, though, that’s just not doing it justice. Think of it as a certain dinner style made up of a wide variety of different and smaller meat, chicken and vegetable dishes served with (fried) rice. Preparing it can be very time consuming, but really worth it every now and then. It’s a…
Kayotic Chicken Chili
For years I made chili only using ground beef, until I finally found enough courage to step outside my comfort zone and tried it with chicken for a change. I was sold. Sometimes you just have to drag me, kicking and screaming, out of a tried and fool-proof recipe while I yell “Why reinvent the wheel? Leave me alone” at the top of my lungs. I’m pretty sad like that. Now I’m…
Stuffed Apples
Wanna make something fun? Let’s stuff a few apples. This dish just screams autumn to me! Not entirely sure why. Found it in one of those old fashioned ‘grandma cooks’ cookbooks some time ago and it immediately caught my eye. It looked so cheerful and playful, I simply had to make it. I wouldn’t be me if I didn’t alter, tweak and adjust a few things, of course. The freshness…
Nigerian Suya
Some time ago, I happened upon a dish called ‘Suya‘. It looked utterly fantastic! Not having heard of it before, I googled it. Found several recipes and -even though most of them were different- they all had one thing in common; simplicity. Later on I learned Suya is a very popular Nigerian barbecued street food that you can mainly find at night. Now depending on where you live, you may call this satay, kabob…
