Selada Ayam Bami
Now and then I run into unique books. Books that leave an impression and are so much more than just plain cook books. This is one of them. The book is called Boekoe Bangsa, which means ‘Book of the family‘, and really, it’s the perfect name for it. It’s a book filled with beautiful, heartwarming and inspiring stories from Indonesian, Indonesian-Chinese and Moluccan families. In Dutch, though. It’s a book…
Byron With a Twist
These potatoes are a ‘quick’ variation to the more classic French Pommes de Terre Byron. I’ll post the original recipe as well, but simply had to start with these. They still take a bit of work, but mainly it’s oven-time. The first few words I muttered after taking a bite of these was: “What are these and how come I don’t have this recipe yet?“. You see, this amazing side dish…
Tjap Tjoy
This is a great example of a Chinese dish that goes by several names, depending on your geographic location. Chinese restaurants in the Netherlands call this Tjap Tjoy, but it’s comparable to the American Chop Suey, even though my version doesn’t call for soy sauce. I’ve always been intrigued by Chinese dishes that have little to do with authentic Chinese food. These recipes are about as Americanized and Dutchified as…
Surinamese Egg Salad
You’d almost think it’s Surinam week on Kayotic Kitchen, after I posted my Surinamese Pepper Jelly earlier this week. Nope, pure happenstance, but in my world it would not be a bad thing if it was Surinam month. Or year, even! It’s by far my favorite food. Now, as much as I adore my country egg salad (forgive the bad photography for I knew not what I was doing), I’m…
Surinamese Pepper Jelly
With the idea of hot pepper jelly lingering in the back of my mind, I went to the market looking for fresh, juicy and cheerful red and yellow Surinamese peppers. You see, I was about to make the first Surinamese pepper jelly, ever. Something I knew didn’t exist yet. There are plenty Madame Jeanette sambal recipes online. You also have quite a few pepper jelly’s online, but none of them…
Honey, Lime & Ginger Chicken
After velveting all these chicken strips trying to figure out what technique works best for me, I was finally able to turn them into a recipe. Mother nature apparently lost her calendar (or her mind!), because we’re still stuck with snow and frost. Where’s my darn sun? I craved a promise of spring—anything to get me out of this winter funk. This light, citrusy and fresh chicken recipe definitely is…
