Chinese Satay Sauce
Chinese satay sauce is not Chinese at all: it’s more of an Indonesian or Thai thing. So, why did I decide to name this Chinese then? Because I’m rebellious? Because I’m nuts? Because I like to mess with people’s heads? Why, yes, I do and I am… but those are not the main reasons. I did so because every Dutchie reading this knows exactly what I’m talking about. I’ve tried to…
Mahogany Meatballs
Meatballs in Mahogany sauce, I was told this recipe is about as old-school as it gets. It was new to me. The sauce itself is amazing in all its simplicity: sweet and sour with the richness of bacon and the zing of fresh garlic and onion. I couldn’t find a single jar of grape jelly in any of our supermarkets, the only thing that came somewhat close was pie filling….
Comeback Burger
It was time for me to come back! Had a wonderful and relaxing vacation, got to spend fun time with J-man, but am ready to rock again. What have I been doing? Well, for starters, I managed to copy the McDonald’s burgers. I sure did and get this, I even bought MSG for it; they use lots of it and I really wanted to duplicate their burgers. So far I…

I’m always trying to come up with new recipes for roasted potatoes, and well, these are fabulous. And not just because of the jalapeño. No, really. I made a slightly different ranch seasoning and used it not only for my roasted potatoes,…
Simple Marinara Sauce
I whipped up some marinara sauce for a dinner with friends we had last weekend. It was then that I noticed my marinara sauce was missing from my blog! Well, missing… I simply never posted it. Shame on me. I’m a sad excuse for a food blogger. I always make my sauce from scratch. It’s hardly any work, you get to add vegetables that influence the flavor, plus you don’t…
Steamed Cod, Champ and Mustard Sauce
This recipe is more like a mix & match of some of my favorite recipes. Here’s how it’s built up: I like to steam fish. It’s one of the lightest and healthiest ways of cooking fish, but that’s not why it’s my preferred method: the fish holds its natural flavor when cooked like this. That’s a big plus to me. The mash is an Irish recipe called Champ. Mashed potatoes…
