Sambal Goreng Buncis

I was trying to come up with a new beef stew recipe for Kayotic Kitchen. The best side for beef stew, in my opinion, is a crunchy green bean dish and steamed rice. I already posted an Indonesian-style green beans recipe some time ago, but you can never have enough recipes for those green little fellas, right? Especially recipes that have an Indonesian influence. They’re so darn tasty. Here’s an…

Potato & Cauliflower Mash

Christmas (and Thanksgiving, but we don’t celebrate that here) is right around the corner. I’m still surprised how fast these Christmases come and go and how much changes over a year. Seems that the older I get, the more changes. Or maybe that’s just me? When I saw a basic recipe for cauliflower and potato mash in a supermarket magazine, I wondered what it would be like to mix that…

But then again; I also wish I would’ve thought of Harry Potter before J.K Rowling did. Back to the bread. It’s a cheesy, mildly sweet, amazingly fluffy and incredibly flavorful bread that is real easy…

Hot Potato Salad

I have no idea where this recipe comes from. I’ve been making this ever since I moved into my first apartment so my guess is I either found it in one the cookbooks I snatched from my mom or it’s a family recipe. It does remind me somewhat of a German potato salad although this one’s finished in the oven. Maybe a family recipe from my German grandmother? I have…

Chana Chat. Indian Spicy Salad.

First ever guest posting on Kayotic Kitchen! I really want to introduce a friend of mine, Simone. Simone is a fellow Dutchie and is the author and photographer of Junglefrog Cooking—one of my favorite food blogs. I love her recipes and photography. Here’s why!   When Kay asked me if I wanted to do a guest post on her blog I was honored, especially since that doesn’t happen very often….
